    according to Quartertothree, Nintendos "virtual console" sold over 4 million games (mainly Mario). Low revenues, high margins.

    Does that factor into their attach rates?

      Wow. That's a few tens of millions right there, and they've still got a huge back catalog.

        only the attach rate for the vc, not overall game sales.

        I think that I saw 40% connectivity.

          Looks like Nintendo is playing much nicer with 3rds than we were led to believe....

            What? You aren't insinuating Aher would lie to make his point are you?

              There's been no lie. Ask the Wii developers at Beyon3D about the Wii documentation...

              The fact that Nintendo is "surprising" developers by trying to actually be supportive for once means nothing if they still fall way short of the mark of their competitors in that respect.

                Last time I checked, the figures for Nintendo's attach rated included VC sales to inflate them...

                  Not bad results, to be sure, but it's still way off from XBLA downloads.

                  It's on pace with the 360's sales. MS announced 3M purchases through the end of Feb '06.

                  As of March 6th '07, 25 million XBLA games had been purchased.

                      How much of each third-party sale does MS get?

                      • I dunno if that's public.

                        And what's it got to do with the quote?

                          BTW, what conts isn't really who sells more. What count is that it sells enough and the margins are good.

                          • Well, the number of systems sold does matter in that 3rd parties are going to put their development money into whatever outlet gives them the largest potential market to buy their games. It's why there a bazillion more games for the DS than the PSP, because the install base on the DS is a bazillion times larger. Especially with dev costs on the 360 and PS3 being so high, companies have to really pick and choose where to spend their cash for the best return.

                            • Yes it is a factor. But not the one single important one. And I was talking about sold VC games here btw. There what I said is much more important than when it comes to new gamers.
