[Senua]

Just had to bring the cringe with that second tweet eh lol.

Grats to Larian

 

[BennyBlanco]

He’s mistaken. Xbox players don’t buy games.

 

[LectureMaster]

After Larian claimed BG3 won't be on game pass, makes sense.

 

[Metnut]

By process of elimination, something has to be #1 on sales for XBox. Does anyone have the actual numbers?

 

[acm2000]

so long! what, 3 months? how did they cope!

 

[Interfectum]

I thought Xbox gamers didn't buy games. Weird.

They may not. How many copies does it take to get to the #1 position on the Xbox store vs the #1 position on Switch/PS5?

It’s 37. About half were bought by NeoGAF members.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Sven had to shoot down the possibility of the game coming to Gamepass for sales to kick-in eh?

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Great game

The master of deduction.

 

[The Fuzz damn you!]

I thought Xbox gamers didn't buy games. Weird.

They tend not to buy games that are on GamePass. That’s why Baldur’s Gate 3 is #1.

Being at the top of a sales list, of course, only guarantees that at least 1 copy has been sold. It’d be interesting to know the numbers here.

I think it was number 1 before he said that.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

so now sales matter?!?!

 

[semiconscious]

serious question: what other game do they have to buy?...

 

[TheGodfather07]

Sales matter again now? I cant keep up with flip flopping narratives.

 

[FrankWza]

In other words, we wanted it sold despite their best efforts to have us release on GP.

To the Director of Publishing at Larian?

 

[skit_data]

I hope not everyone used VPNs in order to get the game cheaper

 

[havoc00]

serious question: what other game do they have to buy?...

same thing ps5 owners have minus spider man 2.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

serious question: what other game do they have to buy?...

Pretty much the same games on the other next gen console:

 

[adamsapple]

serious question: what other game do they have to buy?...

The same one that's topping PSN, for starters. All but ~3 are multi-platform games.

But you knew that already.

I thought Xbox gamers didn't buy games. Weird.

They are forced to when the game don't ship on Game Pass. Weird.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Who the fuck is buying Ark?

 

[Moses85]

 

[Senua]

Who the fuck is buying Ark?

Noah?

 

[adamsapple]

Who the fuck is buying Ark?

People shit on it, but it has been a mainstay in these top charts forever. Hence they can afford Vin Diesel for the sequel

 

[Ceadeus]

I was ordering the Physical Deluxe on PS5 but changed for Xbox simply to support.

 

[havoc00]

They are forced to when the game don't ship on Game Pass. Weird.

starfield was the best-selling game in the U.S. in September.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Who the fuck is buying Ark?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Who the fuck is buying Ark?

It didn't come out on PS5 until Nov. 30. That list is old.

EDIT: Ah read that wrong. Thought you posted the PS5 list. Sorry.

EDIT 2: Pretty amazing Ark is even on that PS5 list.

 

[rofif]

I thought Xbox gamers didn't buy games. Weird.

They don’t so the one they buy is obviously first place lol

 

[Saber]

I thought Xbox gamers didn't buy games. Weird.

This game is not on GP, Xbox gamers can only buy this normally. What other way would they buy this game?

 

[RoboFu]

Not as good as the hype would make you think...

 

[Mowcno]

starfield was the best-selling game in the U.S. in September.

Not because of Xbox gamers I assure you.

[Fake]

Didnt know BG released in sept

So why bring a game that release on both PC and Xbox? lol

 

[NonPhixion]

Games not in gamepass on the best sellers list for said day/week. This is huge news!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Who the fuck is buying Ark?

I know, it’s crazy. Different strokes and all, but when I played with some friends it was literally the ugliest, most boring game I have played since maybe Superman 64.

 

[Unknown?]

I thought Xbox gamers didn't buy games. Weird.

23 copies could still be #1 here.

 

[havoc00]

So why bring a game that release on both PC and Xbox? lol

Yes not one xbox owner bought it.
