Scarlet Nexus debuts at No.8, with 58% of sales on PS5, 21% on PS4 and 20% on Xbox consoles.

Interesting that the PS5 version sold the most and the PS platform share is around 80% even with Microsoft marketing the game.

because the game is on gamepass... oh wait...

 

[ethomaz]

Reality.

 

[roosnam1980]

been a trend in the uk lately

 

[YukiOnna]

As long as it sells well enough for Bamco. All I want.

 

[Yoboman]

This makes sense as PS5 has probably sold 80% of next gen consoles

 

[Alebrije]

PS5 is a monster

 

[Skifi28]

Always interesting to see PS5 sales larger than PS4. I guess enthusiasts are a thing.

Sony: Thanks for all the free marketing Phil!

 

[The Pleasure]

longdi , how do you do fellow gamepasser?

 

[M.W.]

Bought PC for $38, steal.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Isn't this a game pass game?

 

[TGO]

Wasn't this promoted on Xbox with a also on Playstation announce later

 

[Yoboman]

Isn't this a game pass game?

No

Maybe this is why no games are selling on Xbox. People just assume they can get it on Gamepass even when they can't

 

[ethomaz]

Isn't this a game pass game?

Nope... well at least not at launch... maybe in some months.

 

[Cornbread78]

because the game is on gamepass... oh wait...

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

 

[yazenov]

Isn't this a game pass game?

No. There was a rumor that it will launch on Gamepass day one but it was false.

 

[Valt7786]

Weebs buy weeb game on weeb console?
Water, wet.

(I mean no disrespect, I am one of said weebs who bought said weeb game)

No.

Scarlet Nexus not coming to Xbox Game Pass, says Bandai Namco

Bandai Namco has confirmed that it has "no plans" to bring its upcoming action-RPG Scarlet Nexus to Xbox Game Pass after rumours suggested it was coming to the service on day one.

(at the moment)

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

I think in the long term that will be why GP will hurt Microsoft if gamers just have that attitude. If enough GP buyers say " I won't buy that game, I'll just wait till it's on GP. "We will have to see if that comes to fruition, by end of this gen.

 

[Exanthus]

Y'all are funny. I bought the game on Xbox and have gamepass so suck it.

Not everyone waits for a game to come to the subscription model.

Even if it won't drop on GP, what point is there is buying new games unless it's a must-have blockbuster? GP has too much value.

 

[Raonak]

PS5 players are thirsty. Nearly 60% is crazy.

Surprised that PS4. Guess userbase doesn't mean much once a new generation has started.

Xbox slowly turning into a gameass only platform.

Grubb is the gift that keeps on giving

He must literally sit there thinking up some stories to make up for the day

I'm just starting to realize that Sony making cross-gen games for their mega-titles is going to be a mistake! Just look at these numbers for many of these games.

Who cares promoted ?

Imagine a guy that created news in a supposed letter of intent to develop a game and called it a key milestone

Number 8 on a chart where number 1 sold around 15000 copies, which means number 8 probably sold less than 3000 copies. Weird flex but ok

The pauperpass mantra.

 

[Banjo64]

So these regular self-fellatio UK sales threads have replaced the weekly Game Pass threads. Got it.

Selling a handful of boxed copies in the UK is the future of gaming.

This man said "paying" and "free" when referring to exactly the same thing.

Just because you tell yourself it's free it doesn't make it so.

Too much salt is bad for your blood pressure.

 

[Danjin44]

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.

A percentage is a percentage.

 

[BabyYoda]

I would say there's a much smaller market for this kind of game on the western leaning Xbox, I admit it, when I see a game like that, it's like it activates Predator stealth to me, might as well not exist. Thankfully not all Japanese games look so blatantly anime to me, it's an immediate turn off.

I say that as someone that grew up collecting Manga (the distribution company) VHS' as a kid (Guyver, Akira, Fist of the North Star etc), something about a lot of modern manga and anime that really puts me off...it's like most settled on the same style and it looks really glossy and overproduced, there used to be more variety of anime styles from my perspective.

A good comparison is the original Thunder Cats, yes the newer version has better animation, but the originals style is less cutesy, more gritty I guess. Also, the original intro can never be beaten!

 

[PropellerEar]

Do we detect a concerning pattern?

 

[retsof624]

Even without gamepass it would've been like this. JRPGs always sell more on PS

If only everyone with a Gamepass subscription were like you

If that were true it would be doing better than 10-20%

I agree with you, although I feel like the real badie here is this GP I think. It does feels like people just wait those games to came on it(maybe people find a new way to avoid "anime" games, who knows), dunno what they were expecting with an approach like that.

 

[FranXico]

It is without gamepass

 

[Syphon Filter]

Makes sense, this type of game appeals more to PS gamers.

Expected 90/10.

It is a very large form factor.

The Metro Exodus flex was wose to be fair, as it didnt even make the top 10, meaning we were probably talking like 400 copies vs 100
As a UK guy though, its nice to see the UK at the centre of the console war.
