Damn good, son.

good job

GhostTrick · Dec 7, 2016

I wonder, does these numbers includes PS+ games ?

GifGafIsTheBestGaf · Dec 7, 2016

god damn, amazing numbers, do we got last year's?

AstroNut325 · Dec 7, 2016

An average attach ratio of 7.39? Whoa...

I wouldn't think so, given that "sold" is a word with a specific meaning, and PS+ games aren't being sold to users.

Newtype-001 · Dec 7, 2016

Thats pretty beast

black070 · Dec 7, 2016

Around about 7 gamers per console owner, that's pretty damn good.

Especially when you consider that the PS4 doesn't actually have any games.

Step up from the PS3 (if my memory's correct)

Pankratous · Dec 7, 2016

Everyone is impressed with 7 games per owner, and here I am having owned about 50 games wondering how anybody could possibly have any less than 30.

leeh · Dec 7, 2016

Overall split Sony plz.

Great numbers! Massive attach rate, kudos.

This!

Probably there are quite some people who only buy Fifa and Call or Duty and call it a day.

Easy when you buy the PS4 for JRPGs like me.

Infernal Monkey · Dec 7, 2016

That's a lot of copies of Putty Squad.

Bishop89 · Dec 7, 2016

good stuff.

How does this compare to ps1, 2 & 3 during the same period

RootCause · Dec 7, 2016

Judging by the reaction, it's a healthy number.

BraXzy · Dec 7, 2016

Does this include PS+ Downloads as "sales"? If not, that's a damn impressive number.

Would be pretty misleading if they did that. My guess is it does not include PS+ games downloaded for free by subscribers.

BroBot · Dec 7, 2016

How much of those sales are from GTA V I wonder.

Probably a lot more, cheap indie titles and digital sales will increase the game count considerably. Even I have over 10 games and I sometimes go months without booting up my PS4 (not the PS4's fault, I just have periods of not playing games or only playing on PC).

Only titles that were sold in a monetary transaction are counted by Sony as "sold" in their financial reports.

Mikef2000 · Dec 7, 2016

I think a lot of this may have to with digital sales. I went all digital this generation and even though I am playing less these days( due to less free social time) I am buying much more games. My PS4 library already has over 60 games(from small PSN games to full games) and I'd say just under half are PS+ titles.

That is much, much more than I had with either the PS2, PS3, Xbox or X360 three years into their life. Purchasing a digital game is just much more convenient. And I love knowing that I can play any game without having to look for a disc and popping it into my console.

hanspampel · Dec 7, 2016

tie ratio of 7.4
up 0.6 from may 22nd

Dangoesforth · Dec 7, 2016

PS2 had over 1 billion I think sold, so highest attach rate there.

Must be somewhat close to 5 - 10%

GHG · Dec 7, 2016

That's a lot of copies of Uncharted 4 and PS3 remasters.

Living Proof · Dec 7, 2016

An attach rate like that is impressive, but man, I must have nearly 500 games between retail and digital. I almost think it should be higher, but I guess people like us on GAF balance out the yearly sports/CoD folk

Acquiescence · Dec 7, 2016

I was going to make a Knack joke, but I think that's enough already from me today.

369.6 million copies of knack sold

tie ratio
attach rate is the % number of total installbase bought a game

People like me who have a PC which can deliver a solid 60 FPS experience. My PS4 collects dust until it's time for a Sony exclusive I want.

Gemeanie · Dec 7, 2016

Those weekly flash sales are works of devils. I'm sure my library would have halved without them

Over 1.5 billion iirc.

Yeah, Flash Sales have gotten me games that I haven't even started on yet. Never had a backlog of games until this generation. It's kind of off-putting.

mrmickfran · Dec 7, 2016

That attach ratio makes sense. I already had 8 games when I finally got my PS4 a month ago and currently have 10.

I've never had that many games at the time that I get the console, usually like 3-4 games.

Loudninja · Jan 9, 2017

PS4 software sales also remained strong during the 2016 holiday season with more than 50.4 million copies*3 sold in retail stores worldwide and through digital downloads on PlayStation®Store as of January 1, 2017.

Mikey Jr. · Jan 9, 2017

So about 7.5 attach rate.

ArkhamFantasy · Jan 9, 2017

Do PS+ games count?

ajb1888 · Jan 9, 2017

I've contributed to this a little bit lol

That's essentially still an Xbox One with better graphics

You really think things would be vastly different if Xbox games had the graphical edge up until now?

Thats unreal if you think that was an era without the luxury of digital downloads. Purely physical copies.

JaredLetoJoker · Jan 9, 2017

Wow just Wow
