GG CoD.

Also, SH2 numbers being lower than two multi-platform releases should not be a surprise.

"If you focus on PlayStation"

 

[clarky]

Seems like a success on every metric

Yeah so weird for him to word it that way.

[Saber]

Happy for DBSZ. Its a nice homage to Akira, maybe the few rotten apples who tried to downplay him on his passing day should learn a thing about respect.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

He's a weird dude...

What's the original version of this gif?

 

[Ronin_7]

No hardware?

What's the original version of this gif?

Not sure, I just know it's from MK1, here's another.

"That is also an XBOX"

 

[Woopah]

Lots of successes there, which is great to see.

We know Jamboree is selling faster than Superstars, so the digital ratio must be higher.

GG CoD.

It's not surprising, he's just comparing 3 AAA horror games.

I want to see the Xbox percentage for cod. If Chris didn't mention it, it's probably a pretty big decline.

 

[adamsapple]

It's not surprising, he's just comparing 3 AAA horror games.

No no, my point was that the other two examples were on more platforms so it makes sense that they sold more, while SH2 Is PS and PC only.

 

[Horseganador]

And the percentages of COD sales or console sales?

 

[Woopah]

No no, my point was that the other two examples were on more platforms so it makes sense that they sold more, while SH2 Is PS and PC only.

It does make sense, I don't think Chris would argue with that.

 

[Danjin44]

while SH2 Is PS and PC only.

I’m curious why SH2 didn’t come out on Xbox? Was exclusive deal or something?

 

[mckmas8808]

It's not surprising, he's just comparing 3 AAA horror games.

But one missed a whole console platform.

 

[adamsapple]

Yes, 12 month console exclusive.

 

[Fake]

Dragon Ball kicking asses.

 

[twilo99]

Like I said BO6 is easily the "game of the year" ...

 

[Woopah]

But one missed a whole console platform.

It did, and that will be a factor affecting its sales.

But that doesn't mean you can't still compare the titles. Just like it's fine to compare Rebirth to Veilguard and Dragon's Dogma 2, or Astrobot to Crash 4 and Sonic Lost World.

So PlayStation saved it

Call of Duty sells a lot of Sony boxes

 

[Calverz]

More playstation buyers. Interesting.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Call of Duty sells a lot of Sony boxes

It does, which is why it would never have been exclusive and can't be without it.

 

[XXL]

Dude just "girl mathed" COD sales.

 

[ProtoByte]

And this is in Europe, where Xbox has almost no presence, with the most critically acclaimed COD in a minute. The sales impact must be more pronounced in North America, and it's not a good sign for the future.
