Xbox 360 also maintained its record-setting software attach rate for the eighth month in a row at 5.7 games sold per console for the month of March, thanks to the great titles available for the platform, including four of which were among the top 10 best-selling games across all consoles, including "Def Jam Icon" (EA). "Guitar Hero II" (RedOctane/Activision), "Major League Baseball 2K7" (2K Sports) and "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2" (Ubisoft).

We're also excited about the success of "Guitar Hero II" (RedOctane/Activision), which exploded on to the Xbox 360 platform in April selling 291,000 units after only five days on the market; that means nearly 2,500 units per hour were rolling off the store shelves. This made it the number three top-selling game in this period across all consoles. Games like "Guitar Hero II" that were once PlayStation exclusives are now enabling consumers to have more choices when it comes to platform selection, while also broadening our portfolio of games that appeal to customers of all ages.

Last time I checked it was at 5.3 games per unit.:)I know the devs are happy,more game sells=more and higher quality games!!!

They do. Gears of War sold several million before the end of 2006, Lost Planet and Dead Rising both sold over a million, Oblivion is shining on the 360, and now Guitar hero 2, despite the several-month lag time, is off to a great start on the 360.

That's around 57 million games sold altogether. Which is an average of over 300k sold per game (180 games so far I think). In the end the publisher probably gets 40$ per game sold so thats 12 million in revenue. Considering games like GeoW cost 10 million to make id say they are maiking alot of money. Awsome for developers.

Does seam that if the Xbox 360 holds up this kinda of attach rate we will see plenty of new games for that system. May be the hardcore bizness model can work. wonder if the hardcore and causel model can co-exsite?

5.7 per console, 5.3 per console, whatever the number is, it's a crazy good attach rate, what devs see is $$$ and what 360 fans get is exclusive defections and more games.

And this is what its all about ladies and gentlemen: GAMES. While other console supporters *cough* Wii *cough tout how high a rate their console is selling, and still can't achieve high sales for third party games on their system (as supported by the latest NPD data), Xbox owners show love to third-party developers, which means it will most likely have the best game library this gen.

If it makes any difference, I live in Canada, because all the SKUs here are packaged with 2 free games by MS.

It could, I'm in the states so it could differ here (albeit I haven't been looking at the "deals" since I won it already).

Well at this point in time all of that is true. Still, japanese developer support is likely to put the PS3 as more of a primary console then 360. But then again, who knows what will be happening some years from now.

Agreed.Microsoft is focusing way to much on the hardcore gamers.Games like Mass Effect,Too Human,Forza 2(its very complex) dont appeal to casual gamers because of the difficulty and skill they take.The reason the PS2 dominated was because of aaaall those casual games.Ratchet and Clank,Jak and Daxter,Gran Turismo,Ape Escape...etc. Microsoft needs more games like Kameo,Crackdown,Viva Pinata.They would definately sell alot more.A little bit mor advertising for the good but less popular games(Viva Pinata,Fable 2,Kameo...) would help the sells of those games,and would push more units than just leaving it up to hardcore gamers to read all about these games.

And an attach rate of like 2.

I totally mistyped that.  I typed "PS3" instead of "360".

I've not seen them here in Florida either.  and in reality, the software attach rate for the 360 has been ridiculously high since launch.  last year fanboys were claiming it was a fluke.  that it was just the former xbox owners.  now reality is starting to set in.  the communal experience of 360 gaming prompts people to buy more and more games to continue their social experiences, which by and large are fantastic experiences.

Sony should rather make games for the 360 instead the Ps3. That would make me so happy. :)
