According to Sony Interactive Entertainment, in 2019, more than 274 million copies of games for the PlayStation 4 were sold, as a result of which the total sales of software for the console of the current generation of the Japanese platform holder confidently exceeded the billionth mark, amounting to 1.18 billion copies. About this on Twitter reported industrial analyst Daniel Ahmad.
To put this into perspective.
At the end of 2019 there were 106m PS4’s sold and 1.18bn software sold.
The software tie ratio would be 11.1.
In other words, each PS4 owner has 11 games for the system on average. https://t.co/qcylkpdITO

This figure includes both boxed versions of games, as well as digital releases distributed through the PlayStation Store, but do not take into account any kind of add-ons and distributions for PS Plus.
Based on the data presented, you can approximately determine the ratio of sold games to one console. To date, about 106 million PlayStation 4 have been sold, so it’s easy to calculate that for every console Sony sells from 10 to 11 games.
These statistics, first of all, reflect that real money in the console business brings primarily sales of games. That is why platform holders are often ready to put up with the loss of consoles for some time after the start, just to ship as many of their devices to the market as possible.
It was previously reported that the PlayStation 4 brings Sony more money than any other PlayStation before it.
