Oh, and I'll have to find the data again, but I'm quite sure the PS3 has the lowest attach rates of the 3 systems in the US (when looking at 2007 yearly software sales). I believe the numbers were something like 12:1 for Xbox, 10:1 for Wii, and 8:1 for PS3.

We were all trying to talk about data but you are spewing opinion. Honestly I don't care what games YOU think are good in the FUTURE... the discussion was on the skewing of actual data from actual sales.

As far as attach rates, I showed sales ratios for all games in the Top 50 that are on both systems while you are throwing out numbers from your head.. and the numbers that you are trying to recall have been tweaked a lot by manipulators. Naturally '07 attach rates will be lower for a system that is earlier in its launch cycle because a higher proportion of the install base in new in that given year and therefore has been in the cycle... to get true '07 attach rates you should take total s/w sales on that console and divide by AVERAGE INSTALL BASE (avg 12/31/06 & 12/31/07 install base or do monthly) and NOT ending install base. You wouldn't get it because you;re not analytical and you buy what the spinners are selling you.
