If the Wii's attach rate is so low, why can't I buy Guitar Hero?

Every time I read an article about the Wii, and how it's selling so well, either the author or a commentor will say, "oh yeah, the Wii's selling good because it's a fad, and it's low attach rates prove it!" Well, Guitar Hero must be attaching pretty darn good, because I can't find one for sale anywhere.

wii sales are finedeadmeat59

I dont think you understand his question... he is asking if game sales are so low then why cant he find Guitar Hero III?

I wonder if the guitar slows down the amount they can make. I see stacks of PS2 sets everywhere I go, so maybe not.

well Im sure that publishers know that too so they would be less likely to produce as many copies as they would otherwise. There are low game sales compaired to system sales but Wii Play and Guitar hero are both kind of exceptions to that stat.ag1052

I agree with you I just don't think the people on here know what their talking about.

I am simple going to put it like this. The Wii version has probably the least produced copies of Guitar hero. Were the 360-ps2 versions have the most. This is because developers know it will probably sell a lot less on the Wii over the 360 and ps2.

This is also based off Wii game sales which are very low compaired to 360. They also base it off how many hardcore games are being sold on the Wii.

I hope to get one for Christmas.Travo_basic

Isn't it simply 'cause they're correcting the mono-sound issue?dirktu

That is correct.

Thank you for explaining my point. ;) They're probably in the middle of building up a corrected supply (depending on sales so far), so it's indeed more cost effective to limit the sales of the 'broken' games. (Whether they are/were really pulling games back, or just letting the old suppy sell out is anyone's guess though..)
