If this is a discussion thread, then don't accuse people of console warring just because they disagree with the celebrations.So what do you suggest? That we don't discuss regional sales or sales splits anymore? Why?

51% of sales are on PS4, 29% on Xbox One and 21% on Nintendo Switch.
Funny how the split for Tokyo 2020 was -
What happened to the 'Gamepass effect' there?. I suppose Gamepass is effecting Switch sales too lol.
I dont know but what that got to do with the so called 'Gamepass effect'?. Plus Switch must be at least level, if not ahead of XB1.Well that depends, has the the UK been touted as Nintendos 2nd biggest market?

Fact is some games sell better on Xbox than others. Weeb stuff as far as i know has never done well on Xbox. This Olympics game, the split is much closer. And if this 'Gamepass effect' was real, it would effect every game pretty equally
So Nintendo sales being low 'doesnt mean anything', but spells doom for Xbox.Well, no.
This ain't just "weeb" shit. It was the same for resident evil, hitman. Those aren't "weeb" games. I'm going to go out on a limb that it was also one-sided for games such as Watch Dogs, AC Valhalla, COD, Fifa, NBA 2k.
So again, no. For a supposed 2nd biggest market and they apparently "compete" the split shouldn't be that one-sided.
And in regards to Nintendo, we see clearly with these UK boxed sales that there are at least 3 Nintendo IPs in the top ten consistently which shows Nintendo owners are buying Nintendo IPs more than anything.
So, nah. Not buying that "reason".
Ok. Your buddies like to rent games. That's cool. I did that in the 90s when I was a poor kid.Got several buddies who bought an Xbox for gamepass and have 0 interested on paying a dime for a game. They consider buying games a losing proposition since Microsoft is paying for them.
GamePass effect was just a theory to try and make sense of the wild percentages from what I remember.So Nintendo sales being low 'doesnt mean anything', but spells doom for Xbox.
Ok.
Its like i said in one of the other 87 split threads, there probably were splits like this tons of times last gen, but there was no Gamepass to concern troll over then so it was never bothered about.
Basically GP delays XB owner away from Day1 game?Every is waiting for it to drop on GP. I won't buy any games on XBox as long as I'm paying for GP, I'll just wait for them to be free
I dont know if we know hadware numbers for the UK but what if there are double PS4 and PS5's in the UK compared to XB1 and Series consoles?, that would be what?, a 67/33 split before anything else was even taken into account. Then we know there are more PS5's in the wild than Series consoles so far, thats what?, another 10% maybe, and we are already at a 77/23 split before taking into account any 'Gamepass effect' to begin with.GamePass effect was just a theory to try and make sense of the wild percentages from what I remember.
It's not even a bad theory if you think about it, it logically does make a lot of sense.
But whatever is happening there seems to be a pattern forming. If it predates GamePass so be it, it still looks bad regardless.
Then why MS bought the marketing rights and the demo first if sales are meaningless? I always see you in these threads complaining about UK sales saying they don't matter.If this is a discussion thread, then don't accuse people of console warring just because they disagree with the celebrations.
Only one here doing anything ban worthy is your console warring (per your usual). Hopefully, those Reports are piling on.
Why people pay any attention to that hairy nut sack is beyond me.It was not even a rumor.
It was Jeff Grubb.
He runs his made up news like that and Xbox fans are fooled by him every single time... remember the Free Multiplayer without Live Gold? lol
One of the biggest hypocrites on this site. You can count on him trying to shit up a positive Sony thread always.
I'm not in Xbox threads, downplaying it. People don't like that I say too many positive things about PlayStation, but that's a huge difference than dissing other consoles.The pot calling the kettle black?
That's not the point, but you know that.Pounding chests over a 3rd party game debuting at #8. Sad.
I actually think you're always fair but you became the punching bag of the Xfans here for some reason. You have to pick a side or else you become the enemy. They are extremely sensitive and they can't handle any criticism. Even facts and numbers. Sad.I'm not in Xbox threads, downplaying it. People don't like that I say too many positive things about PlayStation, but that's a huge difference than dissing other consoles.
I'll show up in Xbox threads too. But, that's because I'm talking about a game I'm playing ON Xbox. I'm playing one now - Ender Lilies (I just made a new thread about it). Before that, I played Like A Dragon on GamePass and was in GamePass threads talking about how great it is. But, apparently, that's not enough to make up for all the good things I said about PS5.
one of the most british looking motherfuckers I ever saw. #nofront
UK guy and you don’t even know the split, plz. Stop pulling numbers out of your ass to justify the poor sales on xbox platforms.I dont know if we know hadware numbers for the UK but what if there are double PS4 and PS5's in the UK compared to XB1 and Series consoles?, that would be what?, a 67/33 split before anything else was even taken into account. Then we know there are more PS5's in the wild than Series consoles so far, thats what?, another 10% maybe, and we are already at a 77/23 split before taking into account any 'Gamepass effect' to begin with.
And the UK is just one market, a small market. Just look at Japan and how its completely different to the uk in regards to PS5 and PS4 splits, and thats just 2 markets.
So true. They love to dish out criticism, but when it comes at Microsoft, they fold like a paper napkin while screamin Gamespass at everyone.I actually think you're always fair but you became the punching bag of the Xfans here for some reason. You have to pick a side or else you become the enemy. They are extremely sensitive and they can't handle any criticism. Even facts and numbers. Sad.
Xboxes or Xbox digital sales?50% of xbox sold are digital.
Sony has 5-10%
Makes sense.
You took PS5 into the equation twice. That's not how you should be estimating this.I dont know if we know hadware numbers for the UK but what if there are double PS4 and PS5's in the UK compared to XB1 and Series consoles?, that would be what?, a 67/33 split before anything else was even taken into account. Then we know there are more PS5's in the wild than Series consoles so far, thats what?, another 10% maybe, and we are already at a 77/23 split before taking into account any 'Gamepass effect' to begin with.

They're thirsty for Japanese games?Majority of people who are fan of Japanese games mostly likely own Playstation and Switch, which why most Japanese games will sell more on those systems rather than Xbox.
I ask this before Scarlet Nexus got released, what was the point of Microsoft paying for marketing rights for this game? They should have known the game mostly going sell on Playstation rather than Xbox.
And based on their profile picture, their arteries must be at maximum load as it is!Too much salt is bad for your blood pressure.
This people don't understand that they pay for this games and it's not free. But because it is automatic transaction and they never give the money to someone they thing it's free.
Would have been a valid theory if this was the sales split was only for Japanese/Anime game. But Western games also have a similar sales ratio this gen so far in UK.Maybe more anime fans on the PS side
Xbox fans are waiting on it to go to gamepass
Xboxes or Xbox digital sales?
vaibhavpisal:

That doesn't sound correct. Can you share your source for that?Consoles.
That doesn't sound correct. Can you share your source for that?
On PlayStation, digital sales ratio is more than 60%. How could it be with 5-10% sales?
Out of all tracked publishers, PlayStation also has the highest number of digital downloads.
(Source)
If we allocate everything else to Xbox, it gets 21% share of digital downloads.
Ok. Your buddies like to rent games. That's cool. I did that in the 90s when I was a poor kid.
Sounds like you're just making stuff up.I am talking about console sales.
MS is manufacturing 50% series s systems so 50% people wouldn't consider a boxed version.
Sony is manufacturing 90% disc versions. So potential and actual customer base is higher for physical copies.
Sounds like you're just making stuff up.
