It's amazing how well skyrim sold. Oh wait. No, it's not. It was a good game that was released on absolutely everything. Funny that.

Starfield will sell well too, maybe 8m total first 2-3 years? Mostly on pc ofc maybe 10m totall including some goty/remaster editions, ofc it wont be anywhere close to skyrim or even fallout, still much better from most/all microsoft first party games if we count current and last gen, i think

They are in for a rude awakening with Starfield's sales data.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Fallout 5? They mean 4, I reckon.
Also, this slide is so old they still call Arkane Austin by their old/original name.

It's from 2020 right before the Zenimax acquisition. That's def FO5 and not FO4.

The assumption column reads like they were expecting to end Fallout 76 support 4-5 years after the acquisition.

Then maybe they're calling FO 76 as Fallout 5, cause that's the only thing that came circa FY21.

Unless your Mario Kart that's very hard for any game to do. That's only because Nintendo barely puts their games on sale.

It still sold very well. Not sure why you're trying to downplay its success.

? I'm not? I'm just taking a jab at Bethesda/MS for making es6 console exclusive. As the leaks have said. Multiplatform games like these sell better. I probably could have worded it better.

Fallout 5 is probably nothing more than some random thoughts scrawled onto a cigarette packet at this stage. It's absolutely not seeing the light of day before 2030.
As others have said, these figures are old. There is no way ESVI sells 40m copies in addition to being released on Gamepass.

It's the 7th highest selling game of all time, reportedly.
Not too shabby.
Tetris: 520 million
Minecraft: 238 million
Grand Theft Auto V: 175 million
Wii Sports: 82.9 million
PUBG: 75 million
Mario Kart 8 + Deluxe: 62 million
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: 60 million
Super Mario Bros. (1985): 58 million
Red Dead Redemption 2: 50 million
Overwatch: 50 million

They're mentioning it here on a different page in the EX PX1050 pdf. Don't think it's a mistake.

These are all pre Game Pass projections, right? Looks like really old data.

I wonder if Fallout 3 will still come 2024.Yep, exactly, some very interesting assessments and projections in there.

Most games release on all platforms. Most games don't sell 40 million units lifetime.

I feel like modding tools might make the game jump a bit. It's why Skyrim on PC is still relevant today. Modded properly Skyrim can look like or play like a completely new game.

Well the estimates obviously changed after the acquisition.

And future games from this studio won't either. That was my point. Not with it being tied to just Xbox and pc.

They expect to sell 40M copies of TESVI with it being on GP and also not being on PlayStation? Lol, good luck.
Edit: This was before the acquisition? Hmm ok, but they seem to be talking a lot of Xbox already here.

I don't understand how they expect these same numbers, when GamePass exists on both console and PC.
Like temper your expectations because Starfield's sales is gonna destroy any prediction they have had.
I think it sold ok, but not nearly as well as it would have if GP wasn't a thing. So either GP cannot sustain these predictions or they need to change their metrics altogether.
Where's the mention of how they expect GP subs to increase? Isn't that what they actually care about?
