Okay, with an attach rate of 9 games per console that's around 900 million games sold. Let's say 30 million people are die hard Nintendo fans and buy 20 games each. That's 600 million games, leaving us with 300 million for the remainder of customers. Now let's say that 20 million people are buying 12 games each. That's 240 million, which leaves us with 60 million games for the remaining 50 million customers. That would be an attach ratio of 1.2 for the remaining 50 million customers. So yeah, it's completely possible that 30 million Grandmas bought a Wii and threw it in the closet. And at 87 million PS3's sold all it would have taken was 13 or 14 million unsatisfied Wii customers to make PS3 the pragmatic winner of the 7th gen.
Keep in mind the above is all just an example. Remember that an attach ratio of 9 doesn't mean that every customer bought 9 games. It's an average. |
Do you have any actual evidence to support any of this though, or is it all just conjecture without any factual basis? |
I only need to prove that it's possible, not that it actually happened. And it is indeed possible to get a system attach ratio of 9 with my example spread or a similar spread. You can't make a deductive argument and then ask for proof when someone points out a perfectly plausible possibility. It's like finding 24 eggs missing from a grocery store and exclaiming that "Only 4x6 can equal 24. Therefore, there must have been 4 customers each buying six eggs." And then when someone points out that 2x12 also equals 24 you suddenly want proof of two egg cartons being sold.
