I fully expected a low attachment rate, seeing as the launch line-up isn't particularly Japanese orientated, but who the hell buys a console and not ONE game? xD

I suppose people moving over to digital can account for some of it, but that's still amusing.

Hey man, that's precisely what I did when I got a PS4 last month. Didn't wanna shell out another $60 after getting a PS4 and PS+. I've been enjoying Warframe and Resogun, and have like 6 games from PS+ on my PS3 since I got the service
