Where's the love for Kung Fu Chaos and Kakuto Chojin

 

[Woopah]

With digital switch will be less than 5%, basically irrelevant. Don't know why they even bothered.

MK11 must have done some good numbers on Switch, I imagine the Switch % will be higher outside the UK.

Oh yehhhh I remember those games. Lol those too. But those were back when MS actually did real exclusives. I miss the old days..

 

[yazenov]

Of course gamepass would affect sales. Microsoft even admits to this now don't they?

That comment about increasing sales was from like 5 years ago when it was in its infancy wasn't it?

It was a big fat lie back then as well.

 

[Dynasty8]

I hope Lies of P continues on this success. My God what an amazing overall game. Came out of nowhere.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

But how is this possible ? Don't bethesda games usually have insane longevity ?
The month is not even over yet...

This is very alarming !!!

In b4 boxed sales dont allegedly matter

Some of us were pointing this out two, three years ago to the chagrin of many.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Really?

To my recollection yes. It was years ago.

 

[NickFire]

To my recollection yes. It was years ago.

I wasn't questioning your timeline. And you know that. Now back to carrying the water.

 

[DenchDeckard]

It was a big fat lie back then as well.

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. There were plenty of devs saying they saw a huge increase in sales for being on game pass. Especially smaller indie devs or AA games. I personally think it all changed when they got that higher install base and more people understood the service.

Maybe when it eclipsed 10 million subs or something, and more end users started to try it?

Not sure.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Now they are not even reporting the percentage splits between the different versions. I wonder why?

Gamepass has conditioned xbox gamers to not buy games

[MrTired]

Fighting games usually don't sell well on Xbox. They have also been more associated as PlayStation titles. Not surprised.

The only fighting game I personally ever had on Xbox was Dead or Alive 3 and Tao Feng back in the OG Xbox days.

Tao Feng, that takes me back. Really like the game though, however the roster was tiny (6 characters).

 

[onQ123]

The excuse I heard regarding the huge difference between the sales of street fighter 6 on ps5 vs xbox was capcom/sony's fault for making street fighter 5 exclusive. Curious how anyone can defend this one? It is so obvious that xbox fans are just not buying games like they used to anymore

They ignored all the warnings SMH https://www.neogaf.com/threads/game...ox-scarlett-or-will-they-wait-it-out.1508392/

This isn’t true, fighting games sold well on the 360. Xbox One and gamepass just fucked everything up and now folks don’t want to pay full price.

Yeh just one problem with this notion, they were still stating this and misleading devs as recently as last year:

It's BOX sales tho?? Like....................

I still think xbox will be the top console in September
Also 2024 will be great year too
Xbox cod bundle will outsell ps5
Activision will be a game changer

Clearly you are on some sort of a crusade. I didn't mention anything about Xbox One and Gamepass. I just mentioned a simple fact that fighting games is not something Xbox is usually associated with. It has nothing to do with a a subscription service. Xbox has and always been a dude bro shooter and rpg brand at its core.

 

[RAIDEN1]

Gotta say as movies go, MK1 is a lot more entertaining than the the recent live action MK movie....hell even the last MK game before this was good as a movie as well, I'm currently 3 out of the 4 hrs in....

Ok, now explain why it did so well on 360 compared to one and series?

I did not play fighting games on the 360 as much as I did on the OG Xbox. The only one I did play was Dead or Alive 4 near its launch. The rest of the fighting games I played were on the PS3 including SF4 and BlazBlue were my most played fighting games in that era.

On the 360 I played stuff like Kameo, PDZ, Condemned, Gears of War 1 to 3 , Halo 3, Halo 4, Blue Dragon and Lost Oddysey, Call of Duty, Saints Row and Rainbow Six Vegas. Fighting games in that era were kind of lackluster for me. But the during PS4 and the current era they finally started to pick up again.

Xbox One did have Killer Instincts which was a phenomenal game and is now being resurrected. But that is a very rare case.

You see, this is what you bought and not the rest of the world. Fighting game sales were close on both platforms during the 360 era. It dropped off a cliff ever since the xbox one.

Whats the news about killer instinct? Will buy when it hits $10 again, lol.

Just to prove your point
Mortal Kombat 9: ??? (54% PS3 + 46% X360)
Mortal Kombat 10 : ~ 70k (61% PS4 + 39% XB1 + 1% PC)
Mortal Kombat 11 : ~ 40k (71% PS4 + 29% XB1)
Mortal Kombat 1 : ~ 25k (79% PS5 + 14% X/S + 7% Switch)

To play the devil's advocate, if we were to include digital sales, the splits (physical + digital) would be something like this;

95% Xbox and 5% PS.

Yep. I was there with you. I knew this would happen to MS.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Yeah, let's panic.

The game needed Playstation. Simple as that.

Edit:

Thenn
again, game seems to be mediocre, so nothing would change much.

Small reminder that xbox 360 was the home for Street Fighter 4 back in the day, it was just better (reportedly, I didn't own a 360 to compare) in both connection quality and input lag, if you go check any of the old videos with Mike Ross and Gootecks, it's very high chance they were playing on 360

Stop smoking whatever you’re smoking.

Lies of P is fucking good! Well deserved.

No one expected that Liefieid would drop flat on it’s face.

Also good to see that Lies of P charted this high.

Decent start for MK1

Shame its buggy as hell
