Are you currently or have smoked in the past few hours weed or any variation of it because Nintendo has the highest first party attach ratio.

It's interesting that Wii has a higher attach rate than the PS3, even though it sells much more each week, which makes it harder to maintain attach rates. I'd love to see the PS2's attach rate after 23 weeks.



Well then lets look how many consoles sold at the 23 month stage and see how many games sold in total.

consoles sold Total first party Total 3rd party

Wii 35.46 85m 109m

360 12.8 18m 66m

PS3 16.5 15m 73m

So really 3rd party publishers should like the Wii much more because it has sold alot more games on it than the others. In reality the attach ratio is only good when all consoles have sold roughly the same. Its the total games that really matter to publishers.

Don't forget that the MS numbers are from 12 months ago. The article mentions the 360 currently has an attach rate of 8.1, up from the 6.6 it had at 23 months.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Benga, TWRoO made a comparison between software shipments of Ps2 and Wii. Here's the link in case you are interested.

Don't wii numbers include wii play?

That may be part of the reason it has 1st party highest attach rate.

Just a thought.
