Wii has sold more than we thought

but fine, take ALL bundled wii sports (9.5mil) and ALL wii play (4.5mil) and you still have 62 million software for 13 million consoles = 4.77:1 attach rate

so it drops the attach rate by .3:1

66 million minus 14 million is 52 million, not 62 million.

my bad; that's a 4:1 ratio

so drops it by 1

I like the Wii, but will probably never buy one. NP, you are kind of annoying man.

Finally, it seems like Sony is being left in the dust here.

Last year at this time the 360 had only 6 million boxes sold (11 mos after launch), compared to 5.5 million PS3's sold in the same timeframe.

Granted the 360 had a huge jump during Q4 last year during the holidays that will be hard for Sony to match, but as far as the system goes it is barely behind the 360 in sales for the first 11 mos. IMO they are doing REALLY well for only having a few good games.

sorry if u find me annoying, but if i'm not here posting about the fallacies others say, then who will?

people continually say things like "wii has horrible attach rate" when it has 4:1-5.5:1, depending on what u consider for the criteria

and people continually say it's a 'kiddie' console or a 'casual' console even tho it has manhunt2, the most mature game ever released on a console and there are plenty of hardcore games in the pipeline (again, only out 11 months)

ps3 also had a higher price point and had to deal with competing with wii and 360, while 360 was cheaper and didn't have to deal with any competition

so ps3 selling almost as fast as 360 is quite a feat and bodes well for it...ps3 may well be the 2nd console this gen behind the wii

Probably nobody, until it ever actually mattered.

does 99% of what we post about on 2+2 actually matter?

according to Nintendo, as of September 30 this year, 13.17 million were sold. So it's closer to 15 than 12 right now.
