Forums - Sales - Weekly Attach Rate

I thought it would be interesting to look at the weekly attach rate for each console. It won't take the weekly sales of hardware into account, as that fluctuates too wildly at times. It will look at purely weekly software sales compared to the total install base.

Week 1: Ending 2nd January 2010

Console Weekly Software Total Install Base Weekly Attach Rate
Nintendo Wii 7,704,153 65,648,466 0.1173
Sony PlayStation 3 2,906,710 30,946,800 0.0939
Microsoft Xbox 360 3,397,756 37,047,408 0.0917
Nintendo DS 4,565,985 124,470,583 0.0367
Sony PlayStation Portable 1,151,957 55,497,337 0.0208

Week 2: Ending 9th January 2010

Nintendo Wii 4,226,297 66,128,428 0.0639

I wouldn't put too much stock into these numbers, they can be wildly inaccurate. There are many software sales that don't get counted because it's hard to track titles that aren't near the top of the charts. Also the short time frame increases the error substantially.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

So far wii is getting the biggest increase in attach rate. This is interesting

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind
