The X360 is the most successful console of the gen, as consumers got more games and therefore satisfaction from it than they did any other console. 

This also shows that people enjoyed Wii games the most, as less games were needed to satisfy the needs of the Wii gamer. 

Very qestionable measure of success, especially when the ratios are so close.

I'm a little surprised about that, but a lot of that might have to deal with in quality games this generation and digital downloads.  Can you imagine the numbers we would have on XBLA if they would show it?  


And Windows 8 will mopst likely gain ground on apple with its tablets so :)

Price, most likely - not quality. Digital distribution and pricing shouldn't directly affect the Wii in theory, but third-party support and the buying habits of its audience definitely would.

it may be unfair to include digital sales as in most cases those games are cheaper and generate less revenue.

They gain companies just as much profit because they dont deal with the middle man and packagine. So yes it is fair. Digital games are becoming more of the future every day so take tie ratios with a grain of salt by comparing it to last gen.  COmparing it with this gen seems a little more reasonable but last gen when there was no digital software


And from this I can conclude that tie ratios are becoming irrelevant in this generation, and will be even more irrelevant in the next.

Those are some interesting numbers.

Out of curiosity, do we have stats based on region ? I mean gaming in both japan and europe is WAY more expensive than in the US and we aren't super rich either. Take a look at the WiiU prices and bare in mind that the day one price of a game is an average of 55 euros here which is 70 bucks.

Your day one price of 60 bucks (45 euros) is a pipe dream for us.

Second is better than third (wii)

I guess Ninty should have sold the Wii like crap too. Attach rate would have been like 20 lol.
