Because attach rate is a metric that favours lower install bases it's a pointless comparison. Look at the order of the 3DS pokemon games X/Y comes first... then OR/AS, S/M and US/UM. Exactly in release order, the winner being launched on the lowest installbase while the loser being launched on the highest installbase. Basically it's not a graph that can be used to draw any meaningful conclusions. Attach Rate can't used to compare the success of a game. |
If Switch had higher install base, higher sales for game would, its simple as that. Not one saying that game would sell twice better twice bigger install base, but offcourse that game would sell few 100k more if Switch actualy had double install base than it did. X/Y would sell less if its launched on smaller install base than it did, same goes for OR/AS, S/M and US/UM.
Attach rate can be used determine how much some game is popular on some platform, point that 12% of Switch owner already bought this Pokemon shows that its quite popular on Switch.
