Enterbrain, publisher of Famitsu, has revealed the the tie-in ratio of software to PlayStation 3 sales is 0.98 - less than one game per console.

The figure suggests that a portion of the 88,400 units sold were bought with the intention of selling on as part of the 'grey market', the unofficial channel for second hand machines via internet auctions and retail stores, which label the stock as 'used'.

they'll all probably have to wait until their next paychecks to buy games because they blew the rent money on the system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

lol I don't know, but if the rumor that PS3s are being returned due to sketchy BC then I guess we know those people in Japan were planning on more PS1&2 gaming.

I don't see the point in buying a system based on BC and then returning it for the same reason. Were these people planning on not buying any PS3 games?

360 started out at over 2 games/console, and moved up to its current figure of over 5games/console. Yes, Sony's Playstation tops the all-time attach list at about 12-13 games/console... during its 10th anniversary.

And Microsoft was publishing attach rates immediately after launch, as was Sony. Blame them if you think it's too early. Heh.
