Support NeoGAF

[OmegaSupreme]

Good. It's a great game that I hope inspires other devs.

 

[K2D]

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

Wierd flex considering.

'be interesting to see the numbers lol edit: spesifically attach rate

 

[MasterCornholio]

No gamepass = more sales

I guess the devs were right with this title.

Anyways congratulations to those that supported this fantastic game.

I definitely need to buy it at some point. But I'm currently busy with an Oblivion playthrough.

 

[BrunoCoel]

Who the fuck is buying Ark?

You probably don't need to sell that much to enter in a top 10 most sold xbox list anyway.

 

[adamsapple]

Wierd flex considering.

'be interesting to see the numbers lol

It would, unfortunately Larian doesn't report to NPD so we don't have relative performance or number estimates from Circana. Even on PSN we only knew that it was on the download charts, outside of places like Steam where it can be tracked, console sales will be a mystery unless Larian themselves put it out.

 

[NonPhixion]

I saw some twitter tards thinking this tweet meant the game has sold best on Xbox. Hahahahahaahahaha

 

[DeepEnigma]

Great games deserve to be sold.

 

[nowhat]

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

And it's great that they can. I can imagine every Ark fan thinking to themselves "you know, this game is great, but it sure could use some Vin Diesel".

 

[semiconscious]

same thing ps5 owners have minus spider man 2.

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

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

But you knew that already.

right - let's console war! when all i'm doing is pointing out that it's no real big surprise, to the extent that it's obviously the most recent 'game award winning' major release on xbox (dec 7). but, yeah! screw that! let's console war!...

 

[graywolf323]

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

because Larian doesn’t report numbers to Circana, guess what won’t be charting in December either despite this thread?

The Great “SonyGAF Bias” in action…

(Edit— and, to be clear here, there is no bias - although there is an awful lot of over-sensitivity to incorrectly perceived criticism.)

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Xbox gamers are starved for good games for while now. offcourse it will sell.

 

[BossLackey]

This is something a 14 year-old would say.

 

[Buggy Loop]

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

Mate, come now, lol.

If you meant that, you would have said that in your first post.

 

[SHA]

Imagine making a sim for xbox falling, but actually not, just for attraction.

 

[bender]

A CRPG manages mainstream appeal and all you little monkeys want to do is console war.

 

[Isa]

I would've started it up too except I'm waiting for the save bugs to be ironed out. Still see a lot of reports of people having issues, from low hour saves being lost to one dude with 45hrs. Granted I bet some factors might be avoidable like not using quick resume etc(never used it myself) but I'd rather hear more user reviews stating that they aren't experiencing those issues anymore before I commit the time. Until then Rogue Trader is taking that spot and doing very well.

 

[March Climber]

Xbox gamers are paying for this because it’s not on gamepass.

Fixed. It’s not exclusive and it’s not free* to play. Exclusivity has no bearing on this.

 

[nemiroff]

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

I don’t get it. Why shouldn't Larian care about sales? Are you on a script and forgot to think or am I missing something here?

 

[The Fuzz damn you!]

Xbox gamers are starved for good games for while now. offcourse it will sell.

It sold on Xbox for the same reason it sold on Playstation: it’s a great game made by people passionate about what they’re doing.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Ppl
Buy good

Games!!! What’s new? Even if it on game pass or not. You buy good games

 

[angrod14]

This is like being the number one OUYA game.

 

[The Fuzz damn you!]

This is like being the number one OUYA game.

Well that’s just a straight-up shitty thing to say.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Reckon when I do buy I’ll go PC. I still feel a bit Larianed out at the moment after finishing DOS2 fairly recently. Really great to hear it’s selling well on console though. I love isometric rpgs or isometric anything for that matter

 

[JackMcGunns]

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

It was never expected to be on Game Pass.

 

[adamsapple]

The dice rolled on a 1 on this thread.

On topic, I did my part but haven't started it yet.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Yes not one xbox owner bought it.

He forgot Starfield was also on PC gamepass

 

[splattered]

People always going to try and find a way to spin a negative on a positive... Typical gaf haha

 

[semiconscious]

Mate, come now, lol.

If you meant that, you would have said that in your first post.

well, what with my known proclivities toward console warring up here, i suppose that, i retrospect, i should've been a bit less 'subtle'. carry on, my son...

 

[FalsettoVibe]

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

This isn't the gotcha you think it is.

 

[DenchDeckard]

This thread has delivered in droves already.... lol

 

[Chukhopops]

I bought it, pretty great so far but I miss the humor of the DOS series, this feels a lot more serious. Maybe it’ll lighten up later.

A CRPG manages mainstream appeal and all you little monkeys want to do is console war.

Things have become really embarrassing with the constant console war in every thread. Nothing can be done about it though.

 

[Del_X]

Are you telling me subscription services and full priced offerings can coexist?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Good games sell. They always will. Truly amazing games that people don't want to miss out on. Gg Larian, much deserved.

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

Wait but all the ponies told me xbox gamers don't buy games anymore?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Wait but all the ponies told me xbox gamers don't buy games anymore?

They will move the goal posts and say being at #1 means it only needed to sell 12 copies.

 

[Thirty7ven]

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

Wait but all the ponies told me xbox gamers don't buy games anymore?

Such a weird take, there’s always a number one selling game on Xbox no? Uh

 

[DenchDeckard]

Now do those xbox players a favour and patch the anisotropic filtering!

 

[Saber]

Wait but all the ponies told me xbox gamers don't buy games anymore?

There will be aways games on first place on any plataform. I think you guys are forcing way too much on both sillyness and console warring.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

It's not crippled by being on a service like gamepass.
No shit.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

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

I don't understand, did XBOX make a press release?

 

[Katatonic]

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Fixed. It’s not exclusive and it’s not free* to play. Exclusivity has no bearing on this.

It's because it's not on gamepass.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Well that’s just a straight-up shitty thing to say.

I agree. Comparing the two systems is a serious insult to ouya.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Wait but all the ponies told me xbox gamers don't buy games anymore?

No, that's what the voices emanating from your anus told you.
Stop listening to them.
What people here said is that xbox gamers dont buy games as much when they're on gamepass.

 

[Clintizzle]

A bunch of people bought it for $20 by claiming they're from Egypt.

 

[damidu]

as always actual numbers are taboo with anything xbox related

 

[FlyyGOD]

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 still had to beat out COD so it had to do decent numbers.

 

[FlyyGOD]

Xbox gamers are starved for good games for while now. offcourse it will sell.

Xbox gamers are starved for good games? Meanwhile playstation owners got Spiderman 2 this year and nothing else coming through the pipeline anytime soon.
