Fixed. 

OT: Not sure what the deal is. Either we aren't tracking things right (doubt that), people are upgrading from older models (slightly doubt that), or people are downloading more and picking up used ttitles.

Still, not much of an issue. 

It's hard to believe we're at a point where new games don't matter. That was my "issue" really, I was surprised that with so few big hitters like before (100k openings we used to have), so many consoles are being bought, and I wanted to understand why using sales data.

Looks like without numbers of digital sales or 2nd hand game sales, we're really out of tools. But, I did provide the retail sales list for US, and there was enough there to justify 30k in the US. Who knows, maybe it's the same for EU. Maybe I'll make the list.

What I mean is that there were alot of older titles that, odds are, are being bought by new owners (previous owners would likely have bought them already).

With all your logic CGI, it's curious how the poll leans in favor or new Core customers. What does that tell you, that they aren't applying your logic.

Why pay full price for new games when you can buy older ones new or used for much cheaper. given how many exclusives sony releases every year, there are a lot of games to choose from while you wait for the newer games to drop in price

and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't put much faith in the software sales on VGC, especially outside of US/UK and JP. 

Honestly if I was a new PS buyer, I would just buy PS+ and save some money. There are like 12 games given to ps plus users now including high quality stuff like LBP2, Infamous 2 etc. Fantastic deal overall
