The PlayStation 4 launched on Friday in North America and set a record for the biggest opening for a console in history. The console sold 984,212 units in the US week one, according to VGChartz. The PlayStation 4 also sold 1.06 million units across North America. Week one sales is also for only two days, Friday and Saturday.
Software figures for the US first two days are also in. Call of Duty: Ghosts leads the pack with sales 703,638. That would add up to a 71 percent attach rate. Battlefield 4 sold 396,187 units. That would put the attach rate at 40 percent for the game.
Killzone: Shadow Fall was the top selling exclusive with 355,148 units sold. The attach for the game is at 36 percent in the first two days on sale. The other launch exclusive, Knack, ended up selling 102,749 units.
In total, 2,417,516 games were sold in the first two days in the US. For every PlayStation 4 that was sold gamers picked up 2.46 games.

That attach ratio is insane for COD. 71% of people who bought a PS4 also bought COD. I don't think that even counts the people who bought it on PS3 and did the Next-gen Upgrade, or people like me who bought it on PSN. It's possible that the attach rate is really 80%.
40% for BF4, and just a bit less for Killzone: Shadowfall.
Hugely successful launch for PS4.
