Fascism is a little to harsh claim don't you think?

Attach ratio compared to PS3 and X360 is a lot lower, and you also have to consider that any Wii had at least a Wii Sport or similar counted on its sold SW. Even though it sold more HW than PS3 and X360 it sold less SW. And that is also not forgeting the highly squeezed sales in favor of 1st party. So when you look at the sales in total you can see a hefty difference. And I'm quite sure this number have been revised recently because it was around 7-8 last time I checked.

On the HW drop, PS1 and PS2 sold like 1/3 of their amount even after a new gen started, while Wii sold nothing after new gen and even during it's own gen it declined abruptly compared to PS1-3 and X360 (that even peaked a lot later and hold the decline better).

Wii attach rate: 9.54

PS3 attach rate: 11.21

How on earth is that "a lot lower"?

And the fact that most of the sold games were first party is a good thing... Much more profit for Nintendo compared to Sony or Microsoft...

And PS3 also had a lot of bundled software, so don't even bother using that argument.

Have you ignored the part that I said the last time I checked tie ratio it was under 8?

And the bundle, Wii had other bundles, the point is that at least each one had Wii Sport, when bundling started it had a others included. We are only talking official bundles.

And yes, good for Nintendo... funny that you said that, because what is better for Nintendo doesn't mean what is the best for all. A platform where Nintendo get most sales and other doesn't have success help no one, even more when we go to that discussion that 3rd parties hate Nintendo and boycott it.
