Absolutely, I'd say that's part of my point around marketing deals with the big third party games.
The numbers are from SELL which tracks the French market. It is likely that smaller publishers don't share their data with the tracker, but from the games you mentioned the numbers we do know are:
Last gen when they started with consoles, Mat made a comment that it was done behind corporate paywalls to satisfy their partner(s). The only one not releasing units sold was MS. Again with the software splits situation. They are PS2/OG Xbox era dire, and that new hiding of info came just weeks after MS announced that GP is cannibalizing game sales to regulators.
NPD stopped revealing hardware numbers in 2010, at a time when PlayStation was being consistently being outsold by Nintendo and Microsoft. Microsoft would continue sharing Xbox hardware numbers for another 6 years.
So what partners wanted it shut down then? Considering Nintendo and Sony were releasing numbers to the public on their own still after? Must have been the Ouya.
Very impressive Cyberpunk sold better on PC than PSN where it ran so poorly, Sony forced them to stop selling it altogether.What can I say when someone tries to make fun of CS GO when the biggest Playstation game is a kiddie game like Fortnite

Not when it's less than PlayStation. But when they were ahead, Aaron Greenberg was tweeting them several times a day.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo were all releasing hardware numbers afterwards. Microsoft announced it would stop sharing 5 years later.
Here's the article from 2010 https://www.eurogamer.net/npd-to-stop-publishing-us-sales-figures
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this will be the best selling game on the ps5 and xbox sx probably would be 2 or 3 on the switch 2 as well
I would buy that it was a third party publisher, if t wasn't for the fact that all of then share their splits when they publicly release earnings reports.
Hardly any third party shares platform splits for games in their quarterly report. Most of them don't even share sales data for individual games.
When did the splits stop then? We used to get Activision and Ubisoft splits all the time.
Do you have any links to that? I don't remember seeing Ubisoft or Activision break down sales of games per platform on a regular basis

Thanks, that's really useful! Though as they use %s and not actual numbers, they still could have wanted NPD to stop releasing the figures.
You're welcome.
NPD used to share actual software numbers, and break them down by platform. See here for example https://www.neogaf.com/threads/npd-sales-results-for-november-2009.381970/
NPD I would say.
Right, but NPD get more money if they convince more companies/investors to subscribe to get data.
That would have happen with or without GP.
Possibly, but there'd be a greater chance of it charting without Gamepass.

Witcher 2, yes
I don't even care about what you 2 are going back & forth about but this is PS4 & Xbox One in 2020 when PS5 & Series X/S was out & the next gen patch didn't come until 2022What can I say when someone tries to make fun of CS GO when the biggest Playstation game is a kiddie game like Fortnite

Simple. The reason they didn't announce it, is because it is worse than you think it is.
What would be the benefit to us gamers to get that information? Would it make their games more fun to play or help them release titles more frequently?
It would build (or lose) confidence in the brand going forward. That's why these companies shout the numbers from the rooftop when they're good and keep their heads low when they aren't.
If the numbers are really high will draw more third party releases
I'm don't think that's how it works. They have already stopped making X1 titles and they are well aware of how the X Series consoles are selling currently.
Microsoft's own shareholders aren't given the numbers so other companies can only make estimates
what is Valve's valuation? Epic got a valuation because it went looking for outside funding, which to my knowledge Valve did not do. The estimates that have come out over the years are totally meaningless because nobody is putting up cash based on them.
Pretty sure shareholders are concerned about profit margins over individual unit sales of a single series of devices. I don't think MS gives unit sales of Surface tablets just like I don't think Apple gives sales numbers of iPhones either. Pretty sure Apple shareholders aren't up in arms about that either. At this point console sales numbers here are just used for forum war fodder.
Saying console sales don't matter is just what people say when their console isn't selling. And to make it worse, Xbox has now stopped updating Gamepass subscriber numbers too. Basically no good news.
Like imagine trying to figure out if you want to port and optimize your indi game to a platform, and you go to look at numbers to figure out if it's worth it. and the numbers just say "we doing ok". I wouldn't be confident.
Xbox probably has to tell developers the real numbers, it would just be confidential. If you want to be paid for releasing on Gamepass, for example, you would ask about expected returns, and Xbox has to give you an estimate. And you would likely give similar requests to Playstation. You just can't release the numbers to the public as a developer.
I would hope so
