So much for people that claimed it bombed and sold only 1 million... so we are 3x over what you thought...

Also 7 games per PSVR is incredible attach ratio for a peripheral. Also can't say it's buffed by non-PSVR exclusives when on the top 10 only RE7 shows up (which is still full PSVR) and isn't even first place even though it's incredible.

Who said it sold only 1 million? The reported 1 million last June and 2 million in December.

Can't say names, but if you enter in other VR threads they were always saying how much of a bomb it was and that Sony wouldn't give more numbers, and on they having over 50% of the market and crying it showed that they couldn't make the market big and all other excuses.

That's what, a 4-5% attach rate? And coupled with the fact that it took a good eight and a half months to sell another million, as I supposed to be impressed?

So I guess considering it costs 300 USD and if we do a conversion on the attach ratio for a 60USD game (and you still need to buy games to use PSVR, people bought average 7 games) any game with less than 20% attach ratio is a failure?

People buying PSVR in average would have expended 299 for PS4 + 299 for PSVR and 210 for games (averaging on the 30 per game since there are smaller experience and full priced ones) or over 800 USD on the experience, I call that quite strong for an peripheral. In fact sold more than Kinect 2 which was bundled with all Xbox sold for just 100 more than PS4.

You should work at a weekly market the way you're comparing apples to oranges.

Yeah for sure. Apparently, the fact that so far, given the same price, more people preferring playing some PS4 games in 4K than playing some PS4 games in VR for is an "apples and oranges comparison". That's totally not a reasonable comparison at all. You got me.

At end of generation more people will have bought PS4Pro at 399 USD than they bought WiiU at under 299 USD. This clearly shows people prefer to play PS games with added pixels than any Nintendo game.

PS4Pro play whole PS catalog and one would be choosing between buying PS4 vanilla or expending a little more for PS4Pro, on PSVR he is buying 2 HW for a reduced catalog.
