| Wyrdness said: No we would, people were already buying Wiis long before MKWii and would have bought the Wii even if the game wasn't on the Wii the same can't be said of the Wii U which is the flaw in your logic. Attach rate wouldn't be 70% yes but it would still be higher than what MKWii achieved. You're really off key on this one attach rate is nowhere near the logic you're trying to push, both GTA and MK have good attach rates because they have a reputation of being consistent high quality franchises that are accessible. This is why the more people who are on the platform the higher they sell regardless of the library. |
People who buy Mario Kart and GTA are people who have interest in Mario Kart and GTA, nobody else. Yes, the logic behind many of the publishers is, that if they put out a game on a system with 100 million userbase, and one percent of people buy it, you're selling a million copies.
Already owning a system isn't going to make you to buy your game on it, it just makes you less likely not to do so.
If there's an average of five games people own on a system, as somebody said on this thread, then there must be lots of people who buy a system for one or two games, because there are people like me, who own rather 50 games per system. Why did these 1-5 games sell Wiis but not Wii U's?

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
