I don't get how that means 500K new gold subscribers?
Tried to multi quote but mobile.
So thanks to the poster above for the link.
As far as SOT maybe it did cause game pass subs to go up or maybe it's just that MS finally started marketing it now that they have a proof of concept game for it. Idk but I don't think "but game pass" is valid for justifying these UK sales. Digital sales I can somewhat see but game pass is too nebulous since the revenue isn't going directly to SOT. Now if gamepass had no 3rd party content I can see the one to one correlation.
Yeah, but we'll never be able to do that with Xbox first party games again. State of Decay 2 will have less sales because of GamePass, but we won't know how much because Sea of Thieves, Gears of War 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, etc. are on it. And it will get even more impossible in a few years time.
The revenue is going to Microsoft, just as it would with normal sales. The third party games kinda ruin the calculation..
GTS never dissapeared from Top 40. At least from individual charts
We don't know how much Microsoft is paying to third party. And how much money they are making on every subscription (without counting 1st party games costs).
Other than FIFA, this is probably true. Can any insiders confirm this?
it's a sales thread, you think SoT is a flop...I don't think GT Sport has done extremely well, its the first true Sony funded exclusive that I saw in the chart. it only really sold any units once it's price had slashed. I think MS needs to slash the price of SoT. It shouldn't be ÂŁ50. Maybe it will see another sales boost at ÂŁ20 to ÂŁ30 like GT Sport did at ÂŁ20
It underperformed compared to prior iterations however it sold <150k before pricecut that not a small amount.
Exactly
SoT shouldn't be ÂŁ50, in that you're right.
I don't see the comparison with GTSz though. I don't think we'll see a SoT 2 for example.
GTS sold much more before the price drop and continued to sell after that. GTS is stronger WW, whereae UK is one of the stronger markets for SoT. One is GAAS and the other not so much. One is a new IP, with a lot of hopes pinned to it, and the other is an stablished franchise
I think overall Sony is happy with GTS performance, and MS can't really be happy with how SoT turned out to be. Maybe because GTS is not as important to Sony as SoT was supposed to be for MS

Oh I am pretty sure SoT will sell well at the ÂŁ20-30 price range. GT Sport and FIFA 18 Switch have shown that they can sell well in the UK if the price is right.
GTS sold below 200k in UK at retail before first price cut. That's really decent number. Anyway, comparing with older titles, GTS outsold individually GT1, GT3 and GT6 in launch week.
I think it's also important to say much of the work put into GTS and SoT can be applied to their sequels (or future updates). It's not like The Order 1886 where they'd need to start afresh for the sequel.
UK seems to hate arms for some reason. It never even charts on the switch charts.
But pokken having great legs is no surprise, especially compared to xeno and bayo. Its usually neck and neck with arms in weekly japan sales and isnt slowing down.
Where are you pulling this stuff from? You think Sony is happy with gt sport yet Microsoft can't be happy with sea of thieves. Is your post the example of when I see people say "tales from my ass"?
I mean seriously you are completely assuming everything. Did gt sport have 2 million players in its first week? I would hope it did to be honest. I'd expect the gt franchise to see that many players.
I hope we don't see s sea of thieves 2 I'd like them to build on what they have
I suddenly like the french a lot more! Men and women of culture. No western garbo allowed~
kids, definitely. And it's still bundled with PS4, right? That's how I got mine

I enjoy that we get numbers like this from Spain. Pretty hard to get Vita figures anywhere else.
Surprising to see WRC5 selling as much as it has considering how crap of a port it was. Same thing with LEGO Marvel I guess.
Last I read GT Sport sold between 900k-1.2m first week, and now has 4.2m registered players (full game).
Going by the various European sales numbers we have (33K UK after 2 weeks, 1K Spain week one), it seems Sea of Thieves likely hasn't passed 300K retail in its first couple of weeks. If it has, the US must account for a good 80%+ of sales. For me, I'd say SoT success (or not) is going to be entirely dependent on retaining GamePass subscribers/active users.
And Japan. (which is the only area that had the original game which makes it notable)
It seems to be showing legs everywhere surprisingly
Lovely!
Good hold by SoT.
Discounts working with Forza 7 (peeps upgrading to 4K?? X1X??)
Crash at 10-god bless you mate!.
Well, 3500 copies is OK, i guess. Never thought that FM7 would be cheaper than GTS one day
You never thought forza 7 would be cheaper than gran turismo? Isn't forza 7 older than gts?
Ok, why did you never think it would be cheaper? It's supposed to be a lot less popular than GT. GT was discounted to under ÂŁ20 within the first month or so, wasn't it? I bought it for ÂŁ18
Because it's a critical and comercial fiasco? 22k sold launch week? 69 opencritic? Youtubers left and right saying is a scam at that price? Twich streamers have already abandoned the ship and surely the players will follow. I'd like to see the daily users numbers, but alas I'm sure MS won't disclose them because they are abyssmal.
Certainly not enough to support a GAAS model
We won't see SoT2, the support will be scant and I fear for the future of RaRe.
But yeah, "over the moon"...
I hope you had a nice weekend.. :D
Yesterday the game was at 10k viewers on Twitch. Not great, but neither death by any metric. The game had 2 million active players within a few days, it is the best selling Windows 10 game from Microsoft since the Play Anywhere initiative. Better than Forza Horizon, better than Gears 4. (These are sales, not Gamepass downloads), it is the fastest selling new IP from Microsoft (so better than Quantum Break, better than Ori, better than ReCore).
The reviews haven't been great, their is not enough content and the game is not as good as I had wished it was. But you sir, are hyperboling on a completely new level.
And so is saying Microsoft is over the moon ;)
I stand by my words, Microsoft can't be happy with neither the game nor the reception of it
