Forums - Sales Discussion - NPD - Xbox One YTD 2013: 4.8M retail games vs. 4.2M for PS4

Xbox is the brand with bigger sw rate since the first one. Wouldn't surprise me if this happens this generation too.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

The attach rate was bigger bevause the three exclusives sold 1.5m vs 600k on PS4... 3rd-party games sold more on PS4.



Pretty good attach rate for this early in a life cycle.
Actually behind the curve, will change dramatically in coming years though.

And we are talking about sw in general, not just third party. Despite selling more hw, it sold less software, that just proves two things:

1. Xbox userbase is more active than ps userbase.

2. Xbox exclusives are bigger than ps ones.

Numbers don't lie. And yes, it proves a healthy xbox launch and a possible big attach rate as the two predecessors on the same brand. It also proves how people were willing to buy more first party games on xbox and that third party offerings on ps4 were more interesting to the userbase than the first party ones.

2? Yes.

1? I don't think so... PS4 have way more free games to play and we don't know the digital sales too... Xbone sold 400k via digital... 5.2m overall... how much PS4 sold? What I see here is the exclusives selling better on Xbone and 3rd selling better on PS4.

PS. Yeap... numbers doesn't lie... the lack of it is the issue here.

All I see here is 4.8 Million games sold vs 4.2 Million games sold.

Better software sales. Better attach rate.

Im not even sure why youre trying to argue against this.

Until we know the digital numbers, we can just discuss the ones we know. Don't speculate.

Unless games with gold matches PS+, yes, definately.
