No news here, when we see these numbers from multiplatform AAA publishers or games traditionally PS always has the biggest market share.
As I remember they didn't say that. I bet they said that on average their GP users bought more games than the users without GP.
Because there are some players inactive who don't play the console and don't buy games anymore. There are players who are active and only buy a couple of games per year: the average gamer. And then a small subset of gamers who are active and buy many games per year. That last group would be the one who pretty likely are interested on GP because they already spend a lot of time and money on games so GP makes sense for them.
According to my theory people who get subs like GP already were buying more games than the average. It isn't the service what makes them buy more games. In fact I think that if the service offers them a lot of interesting games to play they'll buy less games than the ones they bought before having the service.
This is me.
I bought the MCC, Recore, Quantum Break and Crackdown 3. This was before getting GP, and I had a chance to not buy CD3 because I got GP a few weeks after. (I had no intentions of getting GP when I got CD3.)
Since getting Game Pass, I didnt have to buy Forza, Gears 5 or 12 Minutes. Since getting Game Pass I specifically check to see if a game is on there. If it is, no need to buy it. I would have probably bought 12 Minutes if not for Game Pass. So yeah, thanks MS!!
console warrior: “The PS4 outsold the Xbox One by over 2:1. Hehe. Also, the PS5 is outselling Xbox Series”
also console warrior: “ Ubisoft game selling more on PlayStation than Xbox is clearly because Xbox gamers don’t buy games, hehe”
Estimated 129million PlayStation consoles (116m PS4 + 13.3m PS5 consoles) out there, vs possibly 58 million total Xbox consoles (50m XB1, 8m Xbox Series). Why the fuck do you expect sales parity, or anything close to that?
Between this and your posts wailing about textures in Forza Horizon 5, you haven’t exactly covered yourself in glory. Do better. Be better.
So...in other words...console/hardware sales do matter.
Because it gets kinda confusing when we talk about things like this and folks mention console sales dont matter, its an outdated metric, etc.
