Sony has officially stated that it sold 1.84 million PS3 consoles last year. They also said that they sold 5.2 million games for the PS3 last year. So that means that the PS3's attach rate is 5.2/1.84 = 2.8.
If I remember correctly, 2.8 isn't bad. link | |

| It would be interesting to know what the attach rate is for Blu Ray titles. This would be tough to do seeing as there are many Blu Ray players but I would like to know if there was a large increase in Blu Ray sales after the PS3 launch. | |

| 2.8 isn't too bad all things considered but, it's still nothing to sneeze at...
I can't wait until the onslaught of games starts rolling in, though. The end of this year is looking very promising!
Until then, Blu-ray movies is pretty much the only action my PS3 gets right now. | |

Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: S.F. Bay Area Age: 30 | perhaps not, but I think they are looking longer term (beyond the PS3). If blu-ray becomes standard or even remotely as successful as DVD that can lead to a crap load of revenue. | | | |

| Yep. I have found myself "Supporting" Blu-ray recently. I use that term loosely because I really mean, I've just been buying them more than HD-DVD as of the last two months. I suppose that just means I support both, and I am not helping the format war 
As for games... I find the same situation happening in reverse roles. I buy more 360 games than PS3 games just simply because there's more to choose from!
I dunno, I'm torn!!!! What do I really want to win?!  | |

| That we are... the longer the format war continues, the more movies we'll eventually have to rebuy because they were on the "losing" format.
It's bad enough wanting to double dip for movies that I previously owned on DVD but, having to rebuy movies on Blu-ray or HD-DVD because the other failed?? Sucky... | |

| Why would you have to re-buy anything? If you already have the player and the disc, it shouldn't matter. ?? | |

| I suppose not. But, being the upgrade-whore that I am, chances are I wouldn't be satisfied! haha | |
