DivinePaladin said: It's gonna be really damn close unless they cut off shipments early. 800K more Wii Us sold lifetime, just about, with about 200K per quarter for MK8 looking like the current trend for the next quarter or two, maybe a tad more in Winter assuming there aren't any fall games, it's entirely possible. Either way this will probably be the last time we see such a high attach rate on a main console. It's gonna end up over 50% for sure lifetime, possibly close to 60%. |
Actually MK8 currently have attach rate of around 60%, 7.5m on 12.8m consoles.

That's currently, though. It's gotta maintain that for the last leg of Wii U sales, and increase slightly (it's at 58% if these numbers are to be believed), meaning that there needs to be 700K of the last million or so Wii U consoles sold for it to definitively break 60% at the end of the lifetime. Even if it does 65% attach rate for all new owners (assuming the system ends around 14m units total), and sells 8.2m lifetime, it'll still be below 60%.
Which, still, is absolutely insane, and will hold as the last high attach rate IMO, but it's not 60% lifetime unless it sells incredibly disproportionately compared to now. (If they do a Nintendo Selects, that's got a better chance of happening)
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
