of course its the less impressive one euphoria :P

 

Then this threads title is very misleading and is quite the spin.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

I'm guessing Wii Sports has something to do with this.

As also the 360s bundled with 3 games and Ps3s with 2...

What's the point?

 

Yeah, every damn single PS3/X360 come bundled with games, thanks for reminding us



 

 

 

 

 

@WereKitten: Propably the same as it does when removing the bundled software from other platforms.

@TheProf: That's really interesting quote. But it fails in the way that there's no term "Wii user" that could mean the whole installbase. Since it's supposed to be a family console, it's supposed to have 3 users in a family of 3, or four in a family of four etc. The userbase is just so diverse.
Only Nintendo have managed to reach majority of Wii owners and that is by bundling Wii Sports.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Does this mean that LTD the Wii has a higher attach ratio or that Jan08-Dec08 it had the highest attach ratio?

 

The second; sorry, can't change the title.

 

I would have expected that 2008 would have gone to the Wii in that department due to Wii Fit, Brawl, Kart, etc...

they most definitely count Wii sports. Every other source does.

 

NPD doesn't; GFK doesn't; ChartTrack doesn't.

Oh I didn't know that. Well that settles that then. Because somethe firms that track in the regions where Wii SPorts is bundled don't, your assumption is strongerwell reasoned.

 

Fixed it for ya.

Wii's weakest region is Japan, where also Wii Sports is not bundled, and counted in Media Create / Famitsu reports. Yet Japan > EU + US?

I'm pretty sure there was one recently that says the opposite. Lemme try to find it

EDIT: (revisitation)

Ok it was a thread based on vgchartz numbers taking the total HW sales and total software sales. How do you know they didn't do the same thing? I didn't see anything regarding what source they used.

 



I was backing you up. Wii Sports is tracked in Japan, since it isn't bundled. Thus that would be the only part of total Wii Sports sales that would contribute to the attach ratio.

Nothing was ever mentioned as to Japan > EU + US or not.

EDIT, @prof:
It's quite possible GFK or ChartTrack does indeed count Wii Sports sales. I only made my statement on the basis that the 3 do not. I know NPD doesn't for sure, or we'd have had the same #1 title for the last 29 months. BORING!
