Lower selling consoles and handhelds always have a higher attach rates.

A lot of people bought the Wii for one game and one game only, and that was Wii Sports. Also a lot of people bought used Wii games
XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

yup and the dlc will drive that uo, they will probably also realse a complete edition once all the dlc is released, but what I'm happiest about is how bad the casual games are doing, just look at wii sports u
old skool
The lower the userbase, the higher the probability for a higher attach rate.
Let's compare sales of the games at the same time, shall we?
Wii Sports (bundled) 9.3M - Wii Sports Club 0.02M (-9.28M)
Mario Kart Wii 5.81M - Mario Kart 8 2.4M (-3.41M)
New Super Mario Bros Wii 22.03M - New Super Mario Bros U 4.16M (-17.87M)
Wii Fit 5.58M - Wii Fit U 0.38M (-5.2M)
Super Mario Galaxy ~5M - Super Mario 3DWorld 2.21M (-2.79M)
Wii Party ~5M - Wii Party U 1.33M (-3.67)
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess ~3.5M - Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD 1.03M (-2.47M)
DKC Returns ~4.5M - DKC Tropical Freeze 0.64M (-3.86M)

| raidinglarastomb said: okay so we all know the wii u is not a success yet but lets look at the attach rate( What percent of each game has sold compared to console owners) So i looked at the attach rate of games on the wii and compared them to the wii u, i picked 7 nintendo games and did not include sequels, After doing this it shows me a few things 1.) the death of casuals on the wii 2) nintendo og ip games have a better attatch rate on the wii u than the wii wii sports 81.2 percent wii sports u: 0.29 percent mario kart wii 34.23 percent mario kart 8: 34.85 percent new super mario bros 27.20 percent new super mario bros u: 59.42 percent wii fit 22.45 percent wii fit u: 5.42 percent super mario galaxy 10.97 percent super mario 3d world:31.57 percent wii party 8.11 percent wii party u: 19 percent legend of zelda : twilight princess 6.89 percent legend of zelda: the wind waker: 14.71 percent donkey kong country returns 6.19 percent Donkey kong country returns tropical freeze: 9.14 percent Also everyone that sais dktf was a flop, really? Finally i think vg does not include downloadable games so all the games are probably a lot higher attact rate |
Digital versions are the main reason this comparison isn't solid. In particular, Wii Fit U had their promo period where you could get the game for free if you had a balance board and bought yourself a pedometer, and that was the only way it was available for the first month or so. Wii Sports Club is available as single-sports by download, and was available digitally long before it was made available at retail, plus people can buy temporary access to the sports, so that's probably also why it's so apparently-low.
I'd be interested to find out what the real numbers are for those two titles. Probably nowhere near the Wii numbers, but that's because the Wii versions were good enough for a lot of people that they didn't feel the need to upgrade.

I did mention about download able games, I do agree, but in reference to people still happy with. Wii sports and wii fit have a look at craigslist or something like Tha all you wii see is wii bundled. With those titles

It is known. We will also find that attach rate for the popular Xbox franchises will also be higher on Xb one than 360. Thinking especially on Halo.
Ultimately there are so many variables that go into attach rate that it really isn't a meaningful metric when considered in isolation.
What might be interesting to look at is the attach rate of completely new IP. That kind of tells you willingness of the user base to give new things a try, and therefore whether it's worth the risk of putting out new things on a platform.

Attach rate is meaningless without sales. GameCube had good sales and a great attach rate.
