Handhelds in general have lower attach rates than consoles. PSP, PSVita, & Sega Game Gear all have much lower attach rates than even Nintendo handhelds.

Yeah, I've noticed this myself.   I think this partly has to do with the kind of content released, though.

Well its a different audience in general.

Popular console genres haven't done well on portable consoles since PSP.

Thanks for the thread, surprised to learn about the attach ratio differences between home and handheld consoles.

The reason they are different is because we do not have a way to track digital sales and the data being used on this thread is based on VGChartz numbers.  

No we do. Just look to SteamSpy. All VGC needs to do is come up with something like that but that can also check Xbox and PSN and Nintendo Profiles.

Anyway im surprised cos i thought the PS4 already was the number 1 software seller at retail O_o . Must of been a dream, but i could of swear i read something like this already x_x .

I dont think any other current cosnole/handheld can beat the 3DS in Japan.

Yeah... i don't get his fervor to invade threads and shit on anything Sony. Kinda seems like a boring life. 

Because OP decides to inform people with wrong numbers?

Or are we going the route "PC isn't a gaming platform" while the chart also has handhelds in it?

Your number also is wrong, Steam's Revenue is 2-2.5 Billions of US$, 250 Millions came just from Dota, other 250 Millions came from Cs Go, a Research stated that Steam, is equal to 70% of the Video Game Market Digital Distribution, this means that those 2-2.5 Billions is equal to 70% of the PC Gaming's Revenue for Digital distribution, MMORPG, and Moba, are what Rule the PC,  i think that Mapple Story, still move Hundreds of Millions per year.

And PC's Retail Market does not exist.

Digital Distribution = Purchase games and play the games, Other Revenue that is the Majority of Pc Gaming Revenue, you Download a Launcher, and play on the Company's Server, this isn't Digital Distribution.

PS4 is the #BestPlaceToPlay
Do you expect something different from it?




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Not possible. SteamSpy just goes on total ownership. So any sales from there would include physical PC sales which have been registered on Steam. If you were to just take the total PSN/XBL/Nintendo accounts that have played a certain game then you'd also get all the people who bought physical and all the people that have used copies or borrowed copies from friends etc. So your figures would be much higher than the actual sales would be.

Actually there's a way to see what games people played using miiverse. I can't recall how exactly at this time but I've used it before.

PS4 really killing it this gen



The_BlackHeart__ on 01 April 2016

Uncharted 4 will seal the deal.

I know its almost impossible for a game to accomplish %100 attachment rate.

But I honestly can't see how a single PS4 owner will pass on this game.

Meanwhile Steam sold 350 million paid games in 2015 only.

And Steam (3.5 billion) is only 15% of the total PC games renevue (27 billion)
