Forums - Sales - Attach Rate Comparisons 13 Months After Launch

agabara on 13 January 2008

I calculated games sold per console for the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 13 months after their respective launches (for Wii and PS3: Nov 2006-Dec 2007, for Xbox 360: Nov 2005-Dec 2006). I used the monthly totals of America, Japan, and the two combined. Here are the data:

Xbox 360:

  Software Hardware Attach Rate
America 26,061,740 5,083,263 5.126970609
Japan 894,370 285,314 3.134686696
Total 26,956,110 5,368,577 5.021090319

Wii:

  Software Hardware Attach Rate
America 42,117,249 8,453,007 4.982516754
Japan 13,913,994 4,640,392 2.998452286
Total 56,031,243 13,093,399 4.279350457

PS3:

  Software Hardware Attach Rate
America 16,691,699 3,473,514 4.805421541
Japan 3,456,276 1,691,217 2.043662049
Total 20,147,975 5,164,731 3.901069581

I don't know if this has been posted before (usually I see the attach ratio for the consoles to date, instead of from launch), and even if it has, I am pretty sure it hasn't been done with the December data yet.

PS: This includes all bundles (Wii Sports, Wii Play, Motorstorm, any others). I just directly took the data from this site, which includes bundles.

wii's attach rate is fine

and it won't matter anyway when wii has 60%+ of the market



Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08.  Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)

PS3 attach rates in Japan are pretty low.

If you could, I think it'll be interesting to see the 2007 attach rate for software sold in 2007 vs hardware sold in 2007 for the DS and PSP. I want to see how big the difference might be (esp in Japan).

psp attach rates are real low

Wheres the Others attach rate? It would raise the PS3's overall attach rate.

 "Others" data on this site apparently isn't that reliable or complete. How do you know data from "Others" would raise the PS3's attach rate? Where is your data from?

What I find interesting is that the Xbox 360 and PS3 and pretty much the same (with 360 ahead by 200,000) for America + Japan. This really highlights how Europe is a key battleground.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
