Same source of Microsoft multiplatform push slow downed or paused a few days before Nadella stated the opposite to shareholders?
Wait for something official.
 
So we only believe eXtas1s when the Xbox news is negative?

Got it.

Same as those only believing eXtas1s when the news is positive though. This doesn't pass the smell test to me. If this were true then Phil Spencer would be screaming it on a megaphone so if MS comes out and says it then good news, but otherwise......this deserves skepticism, imo.

If the PR machinery isn't at full force by now is because they are having a real bad time figuring out a way to spin whatever happened with BO6.

Half truths like the "34 million Game Pass" subscribers earlier this year are easily caught nowadays and the "engagement" BS has really short legs.
 
Because they have less than half install base and your numbers show why. Only if they count pc as xbox players.
This is also on the PS4 and Xbox one.

Is it that much of a stretch they added over 6m xbox players dude to people playing it on gamepass?

Unless you believe in unicorns, that's the only way data like what's being outlined in the OP would be arrived at.
That 6m million (Xbox) existing (or new) gamepass subscribers who wouldn't normally buy COD have tried the game this weekend? I don't see that being too far fetched personally.

Some of these numbers just do not add up at all.

Going by extas1 recent record, I would be highly doubtful of whatever he says. Did he get anything right apart from which games are coming to Game Pass that month?
 
THis is the kind of rumour that should ruin this "insiders" account if they are talking shit. So which ever way this goes...It should be a positive.

Either the game has performed very well and is driving some serious "engagement" or this guy loses all credibility and can be ignored in the future.
 
Seems high but will be confirmed in the coming days either way.

I will say don't under estimate the shy contingent who want a good campaign and a good PvE mode for 'free' on their existing subscriptions. Helldivers 2 was an amazing success at retail purely because of PvE.

Amd like alluded above, this probably counts players who just opened COD, saw HQ and uninstall
 
All of this sounds like bullshit. lol
"Best performing" is not best sales. And obv more Xbox players are playing the game than Playstation gamers because it is a free download for 20+million on Xbox gamepass. More Xbox gamers are not buying the game, obv. Way less are because its on Gamepass

Also, the PC gamepass portion is the real number to watch out for. 50% is huge if true. That is what the concern was inside of Microsoft about putting it on Gamepass. That PC gamers would just get it for 10$ on Gamepass and then unsubscribe the next month

Cause he's saying something positive about Xbox.

I guess he was a bit more trustworthy in September.

Its doing bigger numbers on Steam as well though, looks like a win win for MS if all this is true. Short term at least.
 
No matter what Microsoft is going to keep the conversation focused on engagement and game pass. They'll certainly downplay unit sales.

its only been out 5 days.

I'm sure those record engagement tweets are in the post.

I would caution that those that are playing on GP likely won't stick with it. They likely prefer variety over sticking to one game considering they are paying for gamepass.

Lets see the numbers in three months. I doubt Xbox will remain the primary driver of BLOPS6 gaming traffic.
