Fyi QB was the previous fast selling new first party IP . Though Ori probably outsold it in the end.
Yeah, that was my assumption.

It says 500K XBL friends made which means live subscriptions went up because of the SoT too
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.
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).
SoT sales dropped 50% so it sold only 11 000 units. Far cry probably sold more than other titles combined
Whataboutism now? That's were we're at?
Edit: I was jokingly answering to the other guy with the long name that told me that SoT was meh but so was my coment btw. At least my comment had an excuse to be meh, all I was saying. Not sure what GT has to do with anything
It underperformed compared to prior iterations however it sold <150k before pricecut that not a small amount.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 £50. Maybe it will see another sales boost at £20 to £30 like GT Sport did at £20
I mean, Microsoft was also really happy with Quantum Break sales. And we know what happened since then

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.Exactly
SoT shouldn't be £50, 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
poker holding surprisingly well, appearing in the revenue charts... would have expected a game like arms or even the more recent bayonetta and xenoblade to be higher than it.
also, the performance of detective pikachu is so strange to me... i can't for the life of me understand that increase.
Exactly

I suddenly like the french a lot more! Men and women of culture. No western garbo allowed~I don't understand France. Where is FIFA, Call of Duty, etc. Why only Japanese games?
kids, definitely. And it's still bundled with PS4, right? That's how I got mineWho are theses people that keep buying GTA V? Surely everyone with even slim interest in the game already bought it?

Last I read GT Sport sold between 900k-1.2m first week, and now has 4.2m registered players (full game).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
And Japan. (which is the only area that had the original game which makes it notable)Detective Pikachu is doing way better than I expected, better second week than NNK in both Spain and UK is a surprise.
Ubisoft still holds onto the top spot in the UK charts this week with Far Cry 5.
The shooter saw a 69 per cent drop in sales over the course of its second week - fairly standard for AAA games post-launch - but a lack of new releases meant there was nothing to dethrone Ubisot's latest blockbuster as the best-selling game of the week.
In fact, there were no new entries anywhere in the Top 40, and no changes at No.2 and No.3. FIFA 18 is still in second, despite a 26 per cent sales drop week-on-week, followed by the Xbox exclusive Sea of Thieves, which sold 32 per cent less copies this week
Lovely!
The Xbox exclusives are doing really damn well
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?
Exactly

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.
