I think you have to give the 360 some credit for selling so much software.

Highest attach rate, and sellilng games like army of two to almost a 1 million clip. Wow. You can say what you want, but the 360 isnt going away. Its pretty much a success in my eyes. What do you guys think of the strong software numbers?

It did help minmizing BC, which SONY figured out far too late, but you do have to geve credit, BC lacking or not, it sells a lot of games.

I think Achievements are propelling sales as well. MANY, Many people are buying crap games just for points, which was genius by M$.

Simply brilliant.

Last gen, we avoided crap games, this gen, people are playing thru them for points that do nothing. It's smart.

I own all three systems and I could care less about achievements, But to the person who wrote the comment u were replying to I have to agree that it does look as if achievements does play a big role in seeing how many of these crap games people do buy just to get achievement points. Not saying they are all bad but there are some real good games on the 360 that dont sell well as some of those that have sold a million copies which is pretty sad for any system just as uncharted and a few other titles get looked over. Transformers game anyone? Come on man why the hell would anyone want that game, I know the cartoon and movie rocked but the game sucked donkey ba**s.

I didnt say everyone, I dont care about achievements myself. but many people do. The games that are on both ps3 and 360 are almost the same. achievements are a plus for people in their decision on which version to buy

The Wii sells alot more software overall, but given the massive userbase, that's to be expected.

All 3 consoles are doing very well in this area though, which is good to see.

Fable will do well, but the other three you mentioned will most likely bomb massively (espescially the jrpg's)

That's not to say that only shooters sell on the console. Assassins Creed, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Dead Rising, Forza, DOA4, Oblivion, Mass Effect any heaps of other non-shooters all sold well over a million.

I myself have been buying multiplats on 360 strictly because of achievements.

I also think another factor that went into sluggish attatch rate numbers early on for the ps3, were the enourmous amont of people looking to cash in on EBAY sales of the console at launch. On the line to pre-order the console at GS, myself and the one person ahead of me were some of the very few, actually planning on keeping our consoles. The person right behind me asked if it was the line for the Gamestation 2.

No it's gamers who get the credit. The 360 has failures and charges for everything and yet there's a ton of gamers who put up with it.
