So if BOTW sells 10m copies and switch sells 100m and horizon sells 8m copies while ps4 sells 80m does that mean the two titles are equally popular?

Hopefully this examples will demonstrate to you how ridiculuous comparing attach rates is.

I'm not going to discuss this with someone who can't do so without using a condecending overtone.

I don't think he was trying to be condecending...but I'll try a different example.

 

If one game sells 5 million copies on a userbase of 25 million, and another game sells 15 million copies on a userbase of 100 million is the first game really more successful?

I think it's an interesting discussion, but I firmly believe that the market for a game has a limit that is only tenuously connected to userbase. I mean, even just looking at the makeup and age of a userbase you can see that some games are going to have a higher attachment rate than others. A smaller, more focused userbase is going to have games with higher attachment rates.
