I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Sometimes I wonder if you guys really want to discuss videogames or are here just for the console-warring bait.

Sony only gives shipped numbers, that could be a good reason or are Fortnite only consoles.

This is not about physical copies, is in general.
Probably the Fortnite & Roblox kids
Plus people using subscriptions or upgrading from PS4 .
But wait how would they know this?
Because people could buy games & play offline
But I'm guessing they're basically saying they have proof of 65 million PS5 owners buying games so it's less than 15 million who haven't.

Look at the top trending games every month. Games like Roblox, Fortnite and Apex Legends. My daughter is 14. A lot of her friends, this is all they play.

Well there definitely is some people who only play the f2p games. Also they maybe just keep playing the games they already purchased on ps4. Even if they don't buy games lots of those people spend money on in-game purchases. I know someone with a ps5 that only plays fortnite but they spend a good amount of money in-game.

I'm pretty sure it's just stupid data that's being used in an instrumental way to push digital/subscriptions.
No other explanation. Unless there's 15M consoles totally, always offline.
Or it's the Fortnite kids. ALL OF THEM. xD

That sounds about right. Between shipped consoles not yet sold and the amount of PS5 serving as Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, Apex Legends, Genshin Impact etc machines its what i expected.
Sony still makes the bucks from MTX anyway. Not that surprising.
Talk to gen z and see what they are playing. Most if them never bought an AAA single player game.

Not surprised if true. Some gamers will go sub plan or F2P.
It's like music on their smartphone. How many people still buy albums or even $1 songs? Most people will do sub plans or listen to free podcasts.

Even if playing offline, physical copy, it still has to activate the license, so whenever the console goes online, the data would be collected.
It's likely a mix of F2P gamers and Subscription only gamers.

Astrobot was the only 1 of the 4 games I purchased that I really liked.
Forbidden West, Ragnarok, Rivet and Clank, were all disappointing.
I managed to not buy Spider 2 before boxing up the PS5 and trading it in.

Technically not true but people are going to sign in just to get the patches. I keep my PS5 offline otherwise.
The UI when online on PS5 is actually very busy. I don't like it.

Even going online for a patch the data is going to be uploaded to the servers.

Toss in other games like Genshin Impact, etc. and it isn't hard to conclude that there really are people out there that buy a console for these F2P games. Sony financials show that these games still bring in $$ for them.
I know we older people like to poop on this but the more I think about it, it isn't much different than people that are dedicated to MMOs and sports games and only buy/build systems for those games.
- Fortnite has over 650 million registered players.
- 78% of Fortnite players prefer to play the game on a console.
- 46.8% of Fortnite's overall revenue was generated from PlayStation 4 from March 2018 to July 2020. At the same time, Xbox One contributed towards the generation of 27.5% of the game's revenue. Besides, the remaining 18.7% of revenue share was generated by Nintendo Switch, Android, and PC.

Probably they link a new game id (not a free game) with a new console for the data.

How is this site coming to this conclusion? I see they say "Curiously, of the entire console fleet, the ratio of PS5 users who don't even buy games is 0.175 , which corresponds, based on the calculations, to 14 million consoles in total." but I can't find any references to this in the document linked to.
That raito doesn't even make sense to me. What is the 0.175 referring to?

According to the last Sony financial report around 15 Million of PS5 owners has never purchased a game.
"Of course, while the total figure is round and resounding, there is one detail that stands out: of the 80 million consoles sold, less than 15 million correspond to hardware for which no game has been purchased"
PS5 escala puestos en las consolas más vendidas de la historia, pero no pasemos por alto un detalle que nos cuenta cómo será la industria del futuro
A medida que se consolida como una de las consolas más exitosas de la historia del videojuego —actualmente está en el puesto 9, con su hermana pequeña, la...www.3djuegos.com

Fortnite received a PS5 update. I am sure there are Fortnite players that care about stuff like that as much as any other gamer.

I've owned a PS5 since last summer and I purchased my first games for it about 2 months ago, Resident Evil 7/8 double pack for $20. Otherwise I've mostly used it for Fortnite and my PS4 backlog.

People with a gaming PC only buy consoles for their exclusives. I am selling my XSX because keeping it makes no sense anymore. Finally i connected my PC to my main tv.
