you're right, it's all about the controllersHaven't you heard that MS doesn't care about consoles?

Great tbh.
The original Octopath charted at number 1 for the month just with physical. For OT2 to be on more platforms and include digital but only be at 10 means I don't think it did particularly well. Its okay.Yes!!!
Makes me wonder then why Square didn't say anything. We are almost at the end of march, it must have passed 1 million by now.
Yeah looking at those LTD numbers and considering xbox biggest market is the USA and they sell more in the USA then the rest of the world, i don't know how folks can think it is at 20m worldwide.
I doubt xbox cracked 10 mill in the USA by end of 2022, and it certainly didn't sell 10 million in the rest of the world.
Sales aren't looking so hot for jan-feb 2023 either.
Maybe shipped would make more sense at 20m, holiday season xbox have alot of consoles in the channels allegedley.
Hpgwarts is clearly a multiplat. The fact that this kid was convinced it wan't on XBOX shocked me. His mother was trying to buy a cheaper version that was the XBOX version but the kid wasn't having any part of it.
Might have been VG Chartz?yeah it makes no difference but we are in a sales discussion thread. im just curious. how did you get 20m for xbox series x/s? look at the leaks that have been posted above. with US numbers, you can get a good estimate of where xbox is worldwide.

Disagree. Elder Scrolls next installment will reach the top of the charts, imo. I just don't see it reaching Skyrim level of success or sales, without it being available on a Playstation console.What Tedd Howard can be sure of is that never again will a Bethesda game be on top of the charts anymore.

Kid was fleecing his mum for another consoleThis doesn't make sense if they was in a GAME store she could have looked & seen Hogwarts Legacy for Xbox
I was thinking the same thing that kid wanted a PS5 lolKid was fleecing his mum for another console
Weird HiFI rush not charting at all.![]()
And the best is yet to come. Imagine what a lower-priced PS5slim would do after this year.PS5 is in beast mode, I expect it to win every month in both units and revenue (except mayyyybe December) and comfortably win the year
I have never subscribed to this way of thinking. And I honestly don't get why most in this industry do it. I believe that the success of any platform while dependent on hardware, ultimately boils down to software. Furthermore, I believe software is what its all about.Conversely, you can see how the slowing down of Switch hardware is impacting software. This is the lowest amount of Nintendo games in the top 10 / top 20 than I can remember for a long long time.
It should be noted that the competition this month was especially fierce, so this month's number 10 is probably much higher than OT's number 10 of that month, with one of the reasons being the wide supply of PS5, driving a lot of PS5 sales, including old stuff, and strong new releases.A few observations:
- PS5 is in beast mode, I expect it to win every month in both units and revenue (except mayyyybe December) and comfortably win the year
- Excellent legs for Dead Space, Ragnarök and the usual sport COD games. You can see how increased PS5 supply is really helping push sales for those games. Forespoken dropped surprisingly little
- Conversely, you can see how the slowing down of Switch hardware is impacting software. This is the lowest amount of Nintendo games in the top 10 / top 20 than I can remember for a long long time. Nintendo not sharing digital (especially with vouchers now back) means that I think they will stop being a major presence on these charts like they used to be.
- I was not expecting Theatrythm to chart at all so its nice its on here.
- The fact we won't get platform specific charts any more is highly disappointing

No, because game pass will now cannibalize a great share of their sales.Disagree. Elder Scrolls next installment will reach the top of the charts, imo. I just don't see it reaching Skyrim level of success or sales, without it being available on a Playstation console.
Elden ring related maybe?Xbox had a great month in March 22? What came out that month?
PS5 is over 533,000 it has beaten the all time PlayStation record and probably the all time Micorsoft record as well.Has someone dug up these numbers and did the math on PS5 sells yet?
Not really, its a new IP on Gamepass whis is $30. There are many factors against it chartingTHIS is my biggest take away about anything MS related. HiFi Rush not being in the top 20 for January or February is NUTS!

I have never subscribed to this way of thinking. And I honestly don't get why most in this industry do it. I believe that the success of any platform while dependent on hardware, ultimately boils down to software. Furthermore, I believe software is what its all about.
eg... if you were to ask any platform holder, would you rather sell 20M consoles each year for 5 years, or sell 100M in one year and 5M more over the next 4 years. I believe they will all choose the second option.
Not charting isn't about hardware sales, its about software not being there.
Analysts on Reeee are saying xbox low numbers are because of SX high demand and supply issue regarding SX .
Why would anyone buy it? It was "free" on gamepass.THIS is my biggest take away about anything MS related. HiFi Rush not being in the top 20 for January or February is NUTS!
I think the game will have good legs too, but I wish that it had done better at launch. But yes hopefully SE is happy with the results.It should be noted that the competition this month was especially fierce, so this month's number 10 is probably much higher than OT's number 10 of that month, with one of the reasons being the wide supply of PS5, driving a lot of PS5 sales, including old stuff, and strong new releases.
But yeah, being at number 10 means that the game did ok to good. But if Japan is anything to go by, hopefully OT 2 has good legs and net month's NPD should keep OT on the list, hopefully high up.
Probably because Phil said games that are on Gamepass have an increase in sales.Why would anyone buy it? It was "free" on gamepass.
Their games are released on Steam as well. I wouldn't discount the PC fanbase showing up at launch.No, because game pass will now cannibalize a great share of their sales.
When was the last time that a Microsoft published game appeared in the NPD, and at what place ?
Ok, notice how when a platform stops putting out massive or impressive monthly hardware numbers, everyone starts talking about how it needs a new-gen iteration.What way of thinking?
Yes software is what matters, but software rises, peaks and declines just like hardware does (though hardware tends to peak first and software peaks later). Switch software has passed its peak while PS5 software is still rising, and that's why we see fewer Nintendo evergreens in the chart in Feb 2023 than we did in Feb 2022 (plus the continuing move towards digital and Nintendo bringing back vouchers).
What was your point about the 2 different options for hardware sales? I'm afraid I don’t understand how it relates to what I said.
Just take a look at the sales drop-off for Halo:When was the last time that a Microsoft game appeared in the NPD, and at what place?
Might have been VG Chartz?
I have never understood this kinda mental gymnastics.Probably because Phil said games that are on Gamepass have an increase in sales.

"When you put a game like Forza Horizon 4 on Game Pass, you instantly have more players of the game, which is actually leading to more sales of the game"
But yeah, I think we all know a lot of people would prefer to pay 10 bucks once and try or beat the game rather buying it, or if you are already paying for the subscription then you don't really have to spend a dime.
Holy crap!!PS5 is over 533,000 it has beaten the all time PlayStation record and probably the all time Micorsoft record as well.

Xbox is ded![]()
2023 year-to-date, the PlayStation 5 has sold an estimated 1.15 million units, the Nintendo Switch has sold 0.71 million units, and the Xbox Series X|S has sold 0.63 million units.Xbox is ded![]()
ThereareDozensofus.gifI contributed to the Forsaken sales, and I am god damn happy about it.
THIS is my biggest take away about anything MS related. HiFi Rush not being in the top 20 for January or February is NUTS!
They can buy 100 more and still be dead last. The brand is useless, people dont care for it. Its like folks that keep relatives on life support for months when they pretty much dead. MS needs to pull the cord and rebrand their gaming division, forget about xbox.Careful. Last time someone said that they bought 100 studios
given his wording I checked feb 2006 -2011, so the ceiling is just under 606k as the ps3, ps2 and psp summed up to February 2009PS5 is over 533,000 it has beaten the all time PlayStation record and probably the all time Micorsoft record as well.
