    Analysis Xbox is on track to knock Sony PlayStation down to third place for the first time in history

    It just annoys me how all the supposed ‘analysts’ on Twitter act blind to the actual data. They continue to eat Microsoft’s spin and credit Microsoft’s vision and success when the reality is the growth of Xbox is purely down to huge acquisition fees. Microsoft’s actual vision of series s, cloud...

    Analysis Xbox is on track to knock Sony PlayStation down to third place for the first time in history

    What’s even more funny is how Microsoft used newzoo when acquiring activ/bliz to show that Sony would still be ahead even before Sonys bigger forecast and growth. That included hardware revenue. But now since the deal is closed the metrics which newzoo made are now changing to try and build a...

    Analysis Xbox is on track to knock Sony PlayStation down to third place for the first time in history

    I like how jez doesn’t add anything journalistic wise to the graph shown, instead a clickbaity headline which isn’t true. It’s like they skew everything to try and create a narrative which isn’t there. This quarter alone Sony brought in $6.6 billion, this graph tells me this is removing all...

    News Circana - Spider-Man 2 is October 2023 Top 20 Best-Selling Premium Games - U.S. (Dollar Sales, Excludes add-on content)

    I think the more interesting thing on that year to date is that mortal kombat 1 jumped over starfield. Both launched in the previous month…shows the legs of starfield is terrible as mortal kombat sales haven’t been that impressive

    Discussion Starfield is the fifth biggest game launch in Europe this year (so far)

    As expected Chris was way off with the Diablo 4 comparison. This is also by sales units not by revenue. The two weeks of tracking instead of one aswell due to early access, so it seems to me the ‘upgrades’ count towards a full sale, so that skews it even more as that was like $30-40 Notice he...

    Discussion Starfield could be biggest launch of 2023. No. 1 in the UK boxed charts

    ‘An impossible job’ lol They threw their parents money at the situation and underdelivered on all fronts, what have they actually succeeded in? Maybe PR media spin 😂 I also remember this tweet from him:

    Discussion As of this morning, #Starfield has already surpassed 6 million players, making it the biggest Bethesda game launch of all time

    Npd is really going to be telling considering Chris Dring is spinning a ~15 k physical launch in the UK as a possibility for Starfield to be the ‘biggest launch of 2023’. There was no reason for him to think Starfield is similar to Diablo 4. There’s a possibility that Starfield is 4th on NPD...

    Discussion Starfield could be biggest launch of 2023. No. 1 in the UK boxed charts

    Yeah look at how Chris reported ff16 sales too for its first week. He called it not strong and compared it to ff15’s launch with it being 74% lower. But now he’s spinning starfield’s ~15k launch which is way below other Bethesda titles and is making huge assumptions that this will be similar to...
