So he has no data?The data he doesn't share and makes conclusions from his ass. Let's believe.
Is it too much to ask to see the data he's referring to?
If you're going to make data driven conclusions then it's hollow to do so without supporting your statements without said data.
They will... there's no way the traditional model will go away. Ever.I hate subscription services in general but that's just me and my preference. It's always good to have a wide range of options for customers and the subscription models do offer a great value, especially for people who are digital only. And for the companies it offers a steady stream of revenue income opposite traditional purchasing. It can only be a win win situation. If these two models can co-exist it would be great indeed for the industry going forward.
It seems more like a "no duh" conclusion. People are social creatures and have more avenues to let their voices be heard thanks to eight jillion different social media platforms. Game Pass subscriber plays a good game and posts about it so Tweet 1 happens. Conversely if that Game Pass users plays a bad game and posts about it, Tweet 2 happens. Further, Game Pass or other subscription services are probably great even if you game is bad as you get paid to be on that service which is going to make you more money 99.9% of the time anyway.
might not be allowed to share that in the terms of the data, i assume publishers won't be too happy for that information to be shared publicly without their consent.Yeh I see that, due to the increased exposure gamepass offers for the games on the service. However I'd expect someone in his position to still be able to provide people with at least a couple of more recent data points to back up his statements.
Yup, another full of shit gamepass/renting thread.The data he doesn't share and makes conclusions from his ass. Let's believe.
UK sales data? I don't know a good estimate of the number of PS/Xbox's out there in the UK and how many are active uniques?Correct me if im wrong. Does that data mean CoD is selling better on Xbox than on Pstation in relative terms? Wow. Xbox is killinig it. This is going to be a very competitive gen.
I made 2 people buy 12 minutes, a game i never would have known of without Game Pass.
Just look at the Steam top sellers:
- Halo #1
- Forza #5 after a month, #2 if you only count full price sales
- AoE #14, or #4 if you count only full price sales
There’s no cannibalization basically. Forza was #4 in the NPD just below Pokémon.
Same data these analysts pull out to make digital look like its more of the marketIs it too much to ask to see the data he's referring to?

Yeah. It's better that we listen to couch experts from GAF, that don't have even small fraction of data. Don't listen to the guy, who is paid for his analysis and have all important data to draw conclusion from...The data he doesn't share and makes conclusions from his ass. Let's believe.
GP isn’t a platform and is available on PC so I’m not sure what your point is, but I agree that traditional sales won’t go anywhere. Even as an admitted GP enthousiast I still buy plenty of games, it’s not supposed to replace those.I find it interesting that this analysis of Piscatella is always and totally limited to the universe of games that come out on GP and sell on other platforms.
Then..."traditional won't go anywhere"
1.3:1 in favor of Playstation is in my head, but I can't tell you the source since I don't remember.UK sales data? I don't know a good estimate of the number of PS/Xbox's out there in the UK and how many are active uniques?
He also doesn't share the data that show Switch finished first in November. He just said it was number one. I wonder if he pulled all the other rankings out of his ass too? They aren't backed by any data that could be publicly verified.The data he doesn't share and makes conclusions from his ass. Let's believe.
No. Where are you getting CoD data from?Correct me if im wrong. Does that data mean CoD is selling better on Xbox than on Pstation in relative terms? Wow. Xbox is killinig it. This is going to be a very competitive gen.
I could see it in some individual situations (whether it’s an overall net increase, I don’t know).I can fully understand if a game appearing on gamepass results in the game getting more exposure and hence getting more sales for a good game or equally less sales for a bad game on other platforms. What I don't believe is gamepass increasing sales overall. I think he is referring to the former?
Makes sense if you're in denial.
Too many paid shills out there. It will take more than "trust me" for me to believeMakes sense if you're in denial.
I have a feeling though that even receipts wouldn't convince you, so I fully understand that Piscatella doesn't provide any.
Ain’t nobody buying stuff anymore on the Xbox ecosystem. Why would they ? They would wait 9-12months till the game drops on GP anyway
Do we have numbers on how many units Halo and forza sold ?
They actually liked it. Of copurse it's not perfect, but at least it's a clever and innovative game and not another generic 3rd person action adventure or shooter.I hope those people are your enemies.

“Forza Horizon 5 set a new Forza franchise launch month sales record — including both Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport titles — while ranking as the 4th best-selling game of November 2021,” said Piscatella. “Forza Horizon 5 was the No. 3 best-selling game on Xbox platforms in the month.”
Deal with itWhat a shocker. Truly!

Somebody posted that the CoD split was 57 to 43 for Playstation. That means it sold comparatively better on Xbox.No. Where are you getting CoD data from?
I haven't seen another game like this, but even if there is something similar it's not as generic as other genres. But in the end it doesn't matter: I liked it, my friends liked it, end of story.Time loops aren't new or innovative.

Some of you people sound like religious extremists. Is their an automatic switch that turns on in your brain when anything positive about MS comes out?Is it too much to ask to see the data he's referring to?

These guys are aproaching 9/11 Twoofer levels.i like them.Some of you people sound like religious extremists. Is their an automatic switch that turns on in your brain when anything positive about MS comes out?
Like what on planet earth does this guy gain from lieing about subscription services?
