Didn't Sean Murray say No Man's Sky is the most successful new IP this gen?
I thought OP meant console exclusive since Sea of Thieves was on PC as well 🤷🏼♂️Not exclusive (Sea of Thieves isn't exclusive too, buy oh well.)
It's funny how people think they the Era actually reflects the gaming market. There was some hype during launch, a bunch of streamers and yotubers played the game, the game seems kid friendly for parents and the coop system incentivises you to convince your friends to play it too... Even though this forum hates it I think it is pretty safe to assume Sea of Thieves was actually a relatively sucessful game saleswise.
I didn't realize that Sea of Thieves would sell that well. Always thought it'd be more niche than Rare even expected. You don't hear much about it anymore.
