I know I'll seem dumb, but what's a tie ratio?


Games sold per console (in average). Asking is never dumb, btw. Only dumb people will see you as dumb.

Several vanilla ps4 or bundles that you pay the game were sold. I'm not saying people bought PS4 without sw, just that they didn't receive 1-3 free games before bf.


Same applies to Xbone, MS just started earlier with Titanfall and a longer time before BF. But your last sentence I quoted before is exaggerating the situation.

How is an exageration when I didn't say all, but most. And before BF Sony had no bundle including free games. The most you could get was 10 dollars discount.

 

While MS have been throwing free games since release with forza (january it was free wasn't???) , TF, etc... It would inflate ms tie ratio. And I didn't ask to take it out of the math. Just said it was impressive work by Sony.


Well, at least in Germany there were almost always bundles available, not counting many deals from Saturn and MediaMarkt with weekly offers. But yes, PS4 was impressively the cheaper console and so they didn't really *need* to bundle in games like MS had to in the end of the year.

Well if mediamarkt or any other store assemble a bundle that is their bussiness and they paid the sw. And I aint taking it against MS, no need to defend.

It's the ratio of people that game while wearing a tie (bow-tie included) on each console.


So how exactly does VGChartz track this? The NSA or CIA?



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

Both the Kinect and Playstation Camera have tie recognition technology. Sony and Microsoft collected the data themselves. Through some clever jumbly nonesense (bribes) VGchartz gets the numbers straight from the source. Then run it through an RNG algorithm so it's not entirely accurate to avoid suspicion!

How the heck does the NES have a tie ratio then? Did they count through a Cencus?

I try not to question anything related to Nintendo.

First two columns US and Europe? Amazing how the tie-ratio is for Xbox consoles!

XB1 has been bundling heavily, like AC4+ACU bundled in the best selling SKU recently.  I wonder how much that is boosting the overall attach rate.

Bundles were available for all consoles. Also I was saying that the attach rate for Xbox consoles in general is quite high.
