4 Million games sold is quite good!

LOL.....its 2 million dude.


I see. That's not good at all. I thought they meant 2 million retail + 2 million digital.

2 milion is very good for 1,2 milions consoles sold - previous gen handhelds had attach rates of around 5 lifetime.

That's way lower than I expected, but I still don't think 2 million is very good for 1,2 million consoles. More like average or something, and average is not good. To me, at least.

That's 1.67 games per person. That's 10 games for every 6 people. Considering that those ten people then need to also buy a memory card, with an average of 35$, then you're looking at a 250$ console with 100$ of accessories.

A successful attach rate at a store for accessories is 20%. That attach rate for accessories is 40%, and it's likely much higher considering people also bought cases, screen protectors, etc etc. People spent a LOT of money on this.

tl;dr attach rate for games is very high, and attach rate on the console is very high as well.

 

And let's be serious, you expected it to flop, right?
