Absolute nonsense, sorry. The PS1 (PSX) had an attach rate of 7 or so, and that includes it's end-life as a kids game console (although data from the very end is fuzzy). The PS2's attach ratio is over 10, which is
phenomenal given how late in it's lifecycle it is.
(For reference, the same data source says 8 for the PS3, 9 for the Xbox 360, 7 for the Wii - although that's almost certainly high for a few reasons - 4 for the PSP and 5 for the NDS - which is almost certainly low for completely different reasons)
dmaul1114 - Yea, but. There are now 40 million Xbox 360's sold, and 35 million PS3's. Given the extremely high failure rate of the early 360's, there are probably
more working PS3's in the market now.
Their gamble has amply, amply paid off. They don't own the US market, true, but in Japan and Europe they have a substantial edge.
