Lol who was that?

 

[Sentenza]

I think the game may be doing well.

 

[Airbus Jr]

^digital foundry and eurogamer are lost cause now already infected with wokism

Anyway congratulations for hogwarts legacy

 

[Fake]

Physical are dead they said...


This game is a monster.

 

[anthony2690]

The most funniest thing is they can't even complain about it as entire dicussion about game is banned

What's even funnier is the admin/mods are playing Hogwarts Legacy too.

 

[BaneIsPain]

That is some achievement for Avalanche Software especially looking at their past works. Well done
One of the comfiest RPGs out there.

 

[Bekind]

Makes sense. The game is mediocre, but the Harry Potter IP in UK is huge, especially in UK.

 

[Nautilus]

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Digital sales are going to be nuts. Well deserved too, the game is really good, I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

 

[phil_t98]

bought it yesterday for xbox, played for a few hours. so far seems like a really good game. takes a little while to get going but really like the game play

 

[Saber]

My godness, this game is huge.

Big thanks to all soycocks and retards doing free market for it. Streisand effect in full force.

 

[kyussman]

Terf island putting in the work,lol.

 

[MayauMiao]

The more popular the game gets, the more REEs will know that their voice matters very little and how those activists game journalist are losing their relevance.

 

[HotSauceEnema]

But the boycott………

They won't allow a topic on these sales, so to them it worked zero sales

 

[NikuNashi]

82 percent on ps5? That seems crazy high. Do xbox gamers not buy physical much anymore? Combined physical and digital data will be interesting.

Gamepass killing game sales.

J. K. Rowling

She deserves it. She created an incredible universe with so much potential only to get "cancelled" by a bunch of inbred idiots. I wish they made a new HP franchise, but not prequels and shit like that but a genuine sequel, with old cast returning and stuff.

Gamepass killing game sales.

I think it's a mix of all the marketing being for PS5 only, I had work colleagues that didn't even know it was coming to Xbox.

& Digital seems to be a lot more prevalent on Xbox, due to a whole host of reasons, game pass, quick resume etc etc.

I prefer hard copies of games myself, but I feel like the minority.

LMAO I saw someone got banned a month because they listed a code for the game for sale in their Buy/Sell thread. Listed reason was "Selling a code for a banned game"

Gamepass killing game sales.

Absolutely i see Hogwarts Legacy on Gamepass every day.

Meanwhile on another forum....

They'll probably even skip this week's article altogether with this kind of success.

Its not mediocre at all

 

[V1LÆM]

Either I'm completely out of the loop or there's a conversation that's going on that I have no idea about

Lol i was joking with you.

It's because of that Wired review that started off with "Yikes Y'all" and the review was done by someone (a male to female transgender) who had only reviewed sex toys before so it was almost like they got to do the job just because of being trans.

I won't like to the article but here is the thread

[Mercenary09]

I think they meant that Xbox players don't buy games and wait for them to go to Game Pass. I mean I do see a ton of people all the time saying "well I'll just wait until such and such game goes on Game Pass" so.

 

[V1LÆM]

They might as well skip next weeks too and the week after that. Maybe don't even bother doing any sales posts for the rest of the year

 

[Nautilus]

I searched and didn't see one anywhere there.

If they keep this up, they will need to ban sales thread for AT LEAST the next 3/4 months.

Yes lets generalize all xbox players. In my experience most games i want never go on there. But i see it as trying games out i never had on the radar.

Peopld hating on game pass is the dumbest shit i have ever seen.

Imagine hating good value.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Hogwarts 1UPs COD, book it.

Massive goes supernova when this game gets its multiplayer/GaaS expansion.

Edit: 82% of sales on PS5. Sony stalling ActiBliz/CMA just shit the bed. LOL.

 

[DarthPutin]

I'm sure at least half of the Resetera mods bought this game, too. <3

For a short while, discussion on resetera softly slipped from hating on Harry Potter to discussing which house they would go to and how the houses made no sense (don't disagree here))). They are totally playing it.

Also complaining how everyone arounds them talks about the game, which is relevant to topic))

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Up 80% over Elden Ring…

And Elden Ring was also released on PS4 and Xbox One. This one is only on PS5 and Series...and 82% of all sales came from PS5.
Insane!

The fact God of War had a 10% increase in sales this week, added to the previous increases all other weeks is also crazy. February will be huge for PS5 i think.

 

[feynoob]

How does Era feel?

 

[HotSauceEnema]

How does Era feel?

Coping and seething, if they knew

 

[Gideon]

Elden ring sales were mainly digital I believe so I really am curious who sold more digital.

 

[Jaybe]

Probably will be double the sales or more once digital gets counted

 

[Portugeezer]

It's the UK, so...

Someone looking for Sales threads on Era

 

[Tsaki]

Elden ring sales were mainly digital I believe so I really am curious who sold more digital.

This game's sales will also be mainly digital, since this article only includes PS5 and Series X copies. And even if we had the digital data it would still not paint the whole picture since we lack the PS4, XOne and Switch sales. It will definitely surpass ER in total sales in one year timeframe.

 

[Punished Miku]

It's the UK, so...

I'm just relieved Sony wasn't too threatened with Xbox's dominance.

 

[Freeza93]

My Store is Sold out on physical copies, thats insane. Both editions.

 

[BeardGawd]

80% more than Elden Ring is wild when Elden Ring was on 5 platforms and Hogwarts is only on 3 currently

It's

4 Elden Ring Physical platforms (xb1, xb series, ps4, ps5)
Versus
2 Hogwarts Physical platforms (xb series, ps5)

So even more impressive.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

How does Era feel?

No one knows since no one can even mention this game without being banned, lmao.

 

[ExcitableBoy]

How does Era feel?

Most of them are too busy secretly playing Hogwarts legacy to care about sales.

 

[RoadHazard]

It's not even a Harry Potter game.

 

[kyussman]

How does Era feel?

Angry I would imagine......isn't that their baseline for everything.

 

[Freeza93]

It's not even a Harry Potter game.

it is play it.....far enough

Its just 100 years before the movie timeline.

[MasterCornholio]

82% of Hogwarts Legacy's sales were on PS5, with the remaining 18% on Xbox Series S and X. Digital sales will likely reduce that gap between the two platforms as Xbox's digital share tends to be higher than it is in physical (in part due to the popularity of the digital-only Xbox Series S)."

That's a pretty big difference between the two. I know Sony had the marketing deal but it can't be just that.
