So I guess that Sarah Bond was right when she said that every screen is an Xbox

So they’re selling very well. Which means more are coming.

Don't these charts change daily?
Anyway, good for Rare and Obsidian that they're finding an audience on PlayStation. Hopefully there's similar success on Nintendo's platform. Multiplatform is Microsoft's future in gaming so at least it'd seem gamers on non-Xbox platforms are interested in their offerings after all.

Doubt it, those are the good games. Nobody wants Starfield and Redfall

They change based on the best sellers.

But I was told Xbox had no games. Weird.
Jokes aside, go on Sea of Thieves, you deserve all the players on all the systems to enjoy that wonderful Rare game.

Lets get Starfield and Hellblade 2 on ps5. Then you will really see preorder numbers balloon. A lot of Bethesda fans are on ps5. And the other might as well be made by a sony fp studio.

I don't think they are good.
I do find games like Gears Series and Halo Infinite good though.
Still haven't tried Starfield.

It's still weird seeing MS games on playstation. Hi Fi Rush has a 5 star rating from those who bought it. Soon there will be grounded and soon after sea of thieves. They're right to rush these out because there's a lull in releases ATM.
The only MS Game I can see myself getting is the age of mythology reboot if they bring it to playstation. Not officially announced but it's not launching until later this year.

These are pre-orders.

And Best Sellers changes regularly, AFAIK.
We would need to see Best Sellers for the entire month to get a better view of placements. Still though, good to see these games are finding an audience on new platforms. Rare & Obsidian have earned it.

SOT hasn‘t dropped out of the top 5 since it was posted. It only dropped out of the top spot when DD2 and Ronin were close to release.

Because their friends/family aren't on that system, being able to play with friends/family is a huge factor into what system people play on.
Also there isn't a lot of big games releasing until the fall so its not surprising to see these games in the top pre-ordered list.

Redfall was, is and will remain trash.
Starfield on the other hand is decent, just not the second coming of Bethesda like some would have hoped. Looking forward to the DLC, hopefully they tackle some of the glaring flaws.

Kinda silly that one game can take up so many slots on the top sellers list. Steam combines them all into one entry on its Top Sellers.

Critics seem to agree.

Genius move by Phil. Get the PS5 kids hooked to the SoT crack, then make SoT2 an Xbox NeXt exclusive that they have to have. 
Seriously, both SoT and Grounded are great games. SoT has probably already passed the million mark on PS5 pre-orders, as all three SKUs have been in the Top 10 for like 2-3 weeks now.

Didn't Hi-Fi RUSH sell around 500k on Steam?

Shouldn't you wait for actual sales numbers?
OT:
We're getting closer to a Hellblade 2 PS5 releasedate.

What is the pre-order competition atm besides Stellar Blade? Is it really higher than Eldenring DLC?
And what’s that got to do with the quality of games already released to great reviews on other platforms?

Because if actual sales aren't that high, the majority doesn't think those games are worth a purchase?And what’s that got to do with the quality of games already released to great reviews on other platforms?
Just going by your logic.

That you’re in the minority? Yes.
Critics loved Grounded, Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush. And Sea of Thieves - while panned on Xbox at launch for lack of content - has very positive reviews on Steam with the content issue sorted out.
