Yup. That's the reason. Ps4 owners have more options thanks to great 3rd party support so no one game gets the attach ratio that ninty games get. It's always been like that since ps1. For a game on a ps console, it's sold great so far. |
Attach rates always go down on bigger userbases, doesn't necesarilly have anything to do with more competition. PS4 owners didn't really have all that many options back when Bloodborne launched, it was the first amazing PS4 exclusive. Bloodborne sells a lot to hardcore gamers, who upgrade their consoles sooner than casual gamers. A bigger userbase probably wouldn't have a big effect on the sales of Bloodborne. Just look at the sales of Metroid Prime 1 & 2 compared to Metroid Prime 3.
And Vita games (similar userbase as Wii U) can only dream of the attach rates of Ninty games on Wii U. Ninty games sell like that because they're good, not because they don't have competition.
Comparing attach rates between such different userbases is useless though, so I'll agree there.
