I would like to know where this "fact" came from also.

A couple of crazy facts about digital spending;

  • Amazon top 3 selling gaming items for the year are PSN cards.
  • The top 20 for 2015 contains 6 PSN vouchers = $290
  • The XB1 has 3 vouchers in the top 20 for 2015 = $95
  • In the Gaming Digital hourly charts, 9 PS4 games show up before the first XB1 game at 42nd (Halo 5)

Make of it what you will!


Are Halo 5 and Gears Ultimate among those? I also better point out that Amazon is not where we purchase our digital games. We prefer our own digital service, especially with Games and Deals with Gold lowering prices...

Oh, found the link...

You were basically saying that PS4 has a lower attach rate than 20% and so the game sales the other guy calculated are lower and thus not as close to Halo 5, ie downplaying the sales.

And If I'm not mistaken CEA only covers America, not the whole world. And CEA is just market research, not a fact.

EDIT: Wait, that article doesn't even align with what other companies have been saying. Most say 20%, but CEA is saying 50-60%. That's a huge difference.

That statistic makes sense if it is counting number of people who bought at least one game digitally for the console.

It says 'Digital Download Attachment Rates' which is far from attachment rate of individual game titles. It is likely that it only looks for amount of people who buys at least one game digitally.
