This gentlemen gets it ^
How many times a day do the same Xbox fans on GAF post the line, "I'll wait for it to hit GamePass"?
And I thought I was the only one who did "goodboy stuff" for treats.
isnt PS more dominant in UK as well?
I suspect it won't change much for multiplatform and indies along MS paying them standard gamepass fund, but the high budget 3rd party titles. The publishers may want some more money for the money-hat if MS wants them to be PC/Xbox only, and likely much more fund if they want it to be on Gamepass.
Is there a place on Earth where it isn't?
Constantly hear things like, "i'll wait to be free on ps+" or "i'll wait for it to 50% off" too
That’s a moot point if Sony gamers are buying the game.
Ever heard of "circular reasoning"?
Ever heard of "the proof is in the pudding"?
Redmond?
Sure it does. Look at the sales split once again.nah, doesn't even apply here anyway
"Why game sold a lot more on PS?" -> "Because Gamepass affected sales even if the game isn't on it"
I thought more games were being purchased by xbox fans due to game pass, therefore, this circular logic of yours is, to put it plainly, is a load of bollocks. The fact is, less xbox gamers purchased the game because there is less interest in this game from xbox gamers. And, there are less xbox gamers than PS gamers. There is your logic, backed up by fact."Why game sold a lot more on PS?" -> "Because Gamepass affected sales even if the game isn't on it"
"How do we know if gamepass affected sales even if the game isn't on it?" -> "Because it sold a lot more in PS."
Circular logic, PEEEEEEEH disqualified.
Can attest, Xbox gamer with zero interest in this, on GamePass, digital download or outdated plastic disc format.
Circular logic is, by definition, a load of bollocks.
Indeed, less xbox gamers and less interest in this game. Thats all.
I don’t know if game pass is affecting sales of games not on the service. However, it does appear that PS+ didn’t affect the PS version being sold. That was the only point that I was trying to make.
Exactly, Its as you said. And i was using this fact to counter-argue mister mushroom back there.
Japan?
The comment was where PlayStation was not more dominant than Xbox.
No idea. Maybe a survey or something asking a bunch Xbox players specific questions like:
isnt nintendo doing its own thing instead of competing for console space
I think it’s rare when multiplatform games sell better on Xbox over PlayStation. I think a few multiplatform games had relatively close sales on both consoles, but to my knowledge Sony usually gets most of the sales. Especially Japanese games where they always did and do sell significantly better on Sony consoles. Imo, Gamepass isn’t going to really help matters either.
you guys still arguing over this!?
whats your take on game pass?
I actually like Gamepass and use it, but I don’t think it helps with software sales on Xbox as much as I hear some people claim. In fact, it seems like I buy less games on XBOX ever since Gamepass. Then again, my experience is probably different from others.
Because 80% is way above industry average, and there is no data or evidence to believe that Xbox digital sales ratio is an industry exception. So unless proven otherwise, it is safe to assume that the digital ratio on Xbox is at par with the industry average.
Dunno what you mean with 'industry average' here, but just like Nintendo sells more physical than Sony, Microsoft might be selling more digital than Sony. Nothing is safe to assume.
No offense bro, but you're making assumptions here that Xbox might be selling more digital than Sony
I'm just going with the industry average (which is roughly 50%) for both consoles.
We're talking physical to digital ratios here.
Saying something might be true is not an assumption. And how do you know the "industry average" (again ignoring Nintendo) when we don't have any Xbox digital numbers?No offense bro, but you're making assumptions here that Xbox might be selling more digital than Sony
A large enough sample size, when Xbox doesn't show anything exceptional to suggest otherwise:
Bernd Lauert
thoughts?
Here are my thoughts:That seems well reasoned and support the assumption on MS probable digital to physical sales ratio more than arguing that some mysterious unknown factor gives MS a much much higher ratio than Sony or the apparent industry average,
Between saying we cannot know it at all because MS does not give us numbers and not being able to know a rough range well… there is a gulf lol.
Seriously though, we can't know until we get some numbers from Microsoft. It also wildly varies on a per game basis.
If a third party is saying that 52% of all sales were digital and Sony is telling you that 51% of all games were bought digital what can you likely deduce from that?
Seriously though, we can't know until we get some numbers from Microsoft. It also wildly varies on a per game basis.
lol woot
