Do you have their official data? Please give the links.

And if those are the numbers (although PS3 is outdated, and usually attach ratio grows on the end of the gen) yes they are quite close, and the info I had about Wii being under 8 is completely wrong.

For the PS2 I think there was an announcement for 1.5B SW and over 150M HW, but I can't find the link anymore..  Sources for HW numbers are inconsistent (even from Sony), with one source saying one number, while another Sony source will say a different number for the same time period.  So the 155M HW is a guesstimate and not official, but it should be in that ballpark.   

For the PS3 SW the link is here. - http://scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3soft_sale_e.html

For the PS3 HW the link is here. - http://scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3_sale_e.html

The links have been erased by Sony so you have to use "Web Archive" to access them.

The Nintendo numbers are given here. - https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/

If the PS3 HW decreased at a faster rate than the PS3 SW decrease, than the attach rate may be higher in the end.

But we would still need solid numbers to know for sure either way and these official numbers give us a good idea of the PS3 attach rate in its prime.

The 1.5B for 160M of PS2 I know about so no need for the link =~]

Thanks for the links. Will check them.

You weren't saying it was plausible, you were more on that was the expected outcome. But please entretain us on how the price would basically be the same perfomance too on a hybrid or table console.

PC gaming is actually growing instead of dying off. So even though it may have dropped hard it wasn't and isn't being replaced.

 

No anyone who can read can discern I was saying it's plausible.

"I agree with what he said in that in future its possible all platforms used the hybrid form factor."

Unless you don't understand the word possible don't make up untrue replies, want to know how the price can be be lowered look up progression in tech and how fast it's happening we have a portable device now that's playing HD games of the likes of Skyrim and respectable ports from the likes of the PS4 and X1 something which a generation ago was not even seen as possible. The Switch doesn't even use the latest Tegra based tech and architecture either.

As new tech comes along old tech becomes cheaper because and faster progression makes this happens at a more rapid rate this is one reason PC gaming is doing as well as it is because mid to higher end PCs can be built for much cheaper then what they could have been years ago.

Ok my bad on understanding you put as the likely future.

On the price, doesn't matter the technology, anything added will add cost. So not having battery and display will cost less to make than adding both. Also doesn't matter how much tech improve using same tech making the card bigger will also generate more power.

Yes very respectable..... people will abbandon their X1 and PS4 to buy Switch and play the portable versions.

PC being cheaper to make also means cheaper consoles.
