Console prices stayed the same, game prices stayed the same. Console sales decreased (partially because less consoles were released, with Sony extinction of handheld line and Sony combining their two lines) Yet revenue is up This means average spending of the console gamer increased If all we want is to increase the number of consoles sold, we don't actually need â¶more buyers, just need to convince people who is already spending more to buy another console which seems feasible as long both consoles are desirable and with cheap software |
Revenue increased as a function of microtransactions I would imagine. People don't buy games and consoles in an addictive way, but they do with microtransactions. In fact, Sony makes more in microtransactions than they do physical and digital game sales combined.
