Its interesting that the other multiplatform game Dying light 2 sold the vast majority on Playstation

"At No.5 in the charts is Dying Light 2: Stay Human. The new zombie game from Techland sold best on PS5, which accounted for 44% of sales, followed by PS4 (28%), then Xbox Series (16%) and finally PC (12%)."


Total 72% Playstation. Interesting differences compared to Elden Ring.
More data shows that PS is the lead platform of sales for 3rd party titles.

Now that is pretty wild.

Playstation outselling Xbox by more than 4:1?

And DL2 is competing against Horizon on Playstation.

It proves that more people bought on PC, you're acting like the rest of the sales don't exist.

I bet some people were itching for this thread to let their inner warrior loose.

Yeah I peeped this too, so many literally are bursting at the seams in wanting to say "see all games should be on PC!"

Especially when there are hundreds of games that sake much better on consoles (and not just in one region either) where that same statement can be said.

Is yours cumulative? This thread is about Europe so it could be different when the full splits are announced

Participating companies are Activision Blizzard, Bandai Namco, Big Ben Interactive, Capcom, Electronic Arts, Focus Home Interactive, Just For Games, Koch Media, Konami, Microids, Microsoft, Milestone, Paradox Interactive, Quantic Dream, Sega, Sony, Square Enix, Strelka, Take-Two, Tinybull, Ubisoft, UsTwo, Walt Disney, Warner Bros and Wizards of the Coast. Nintendo and Bethesda are the notable absentees, alongside smaller studios.

Techland self published the digital game.

It is the reason behind the weird cdpr numbers.

I have asked Chris on twitter for more information

 

[Lognor]

Nope. Try again.

so, in your imagination, Sony called From software and they are still waiting for them to call them back because they’re unhappy with the roughly 4-6 million copies of Elden ring they’ve sold on PlayStation so far?

I didn't say that. So in your imagination you don't think Sony has reached out to From to discuss making a sequel to Bloodborne? Sony is happy to let the series die after Souls games have exploded in popularity? What is it?

Oh so no digital numbers.

Yeah that explains it. That's actually pretty much what Elden Ring was reported as sales gap wise when it was just the UK physical charts.

So just.. really unreliable.. at this point reporting just physical sales should come with a massive asterisks lol

edit: Thing is DL2 doesn't have the asterisk at all.. but it seems to just be something GI.biz puts on there and they kinda lazily just tag Nintendo games ignoring that many of the pubs dont supply data

Yeah, it's weird, why they don't have an asterisk. I also got shown this disclaimer in the UK monthly article which is also from GSD

Dying Light 2: Stay Human comes in at No.6. Digital data is unavailable for this game, so it may well have charted much higher if download numbers were available.

DS 1 and 2 sold most on PC, even some user at ERA claimed DS3 sold 60% on PC.

Good to know, thanks! I guess PC releases were post-launch on consoles right?

How is this possible? How can PS gamers have soooo much money to buy DL2, Horizon FW, GT7, and Elden Ring? All within a 45 day span!

 

[ArtHands]

It sold more on consoles than PC.

Otherwise you should split up PC sales per storefront/launcher etc (assuming it's not only on Steam).

Well its only on Steam

 

[ArtHands]

A 10% difference with a much smaller install base. If that’s backwards then masters port begging is inside out.

Really shows that the PC is the most successful here

Well it appears to just be another "this is only showing physical copies" thing so the split is probably more like the ER split which was like 41/29 PS/Xbox since it's physical only split was similar to DL2, but DL2 has no digital data.

Not that your comment isn't still valid; it's crazy month considering Sony's exclusives, but there isn't really any evidence that Xbox gamers spend less money per capita or anything.
