Circana (NPD) US Sales April 2024 - PS5 (#1 for both) NSW (#2 units, #3 dollar) XBS (#3 units, #2 dollar) / Stellar Blade #1, Sea of Thieves #4

[Jim Ryan]

Stellar Blade did incredibly well, Sony need to listen and embrace what demand is there.

They need to understand that Playstation is and always has been a platform for adults as well as other age groups.

There is no need to censor anything. It's up to parents to protect their children using the parental options on the console.

BTW it debut killed the franchise because Prototype sold 600k at retail in debut NPD... Prototype 2 was a big flop.

Yeah, I liked Prototype 1 much more than 2.

Funny how he failed to point out it had one week of sales.

Stellar Blade was released on one Platform???

 

[Thirty7ven]

If that’s an Xbox game does he reminds us of Prototype?

Stellar Blade was released on one Platform???

And? I thought we were trying to figure out the sales~ figures for Stellar Blade based off information since Circana is not giving any concrete numbers anymore.

He really had to tweet something to take away from the game huh? Funny how he failed to point out it had one week of sales.

Stellar Blade was in two tracking weeks while Prototype 2 was only in one.

PS5 : ~250K
NSW : ~140K

People were celebrating Stellar Blade at number 1 and now the narrative completely changed after his tweet. The sales are low and he had to pull a random stat from a decade ago to prove it

Did buddy ever downplay starfields sales compared to Skyrim?

Never. After the acquisition, none of their games were compared to previous games. Even Chris Dring used some weird metric he never used before or since to celebrate the initial sales.

Jesus Christ, 3 cods and fallout 4 in the top xbox games. These fuckers have nothing new to play.

I always felt that Xbox players have the worst taste.

 

[Gods&Monsters]

A console is selling 8% more than last gen but consoles are a dying market

Xbox at - 13%

 

[Dabaus]

Console sales are for CHUDS! Only engagement matters!

 

[Vertigo]

Ronin has some kind of legs … not bad

 

[anonpuffs]

Damn the switch was -70% and still sold more units than the xbox

 

[quest4441]

He said that 60% of the series sales were for the S, yeah there is no hope for xbox

 

[Cool hand luke]

Prototype bros catching strays

1 platform vs multiplat for Prototype 2, but I guess that puts the resurgence of Microsoft IPs into perspective. Extremely weak even when going multiplatform.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Last was the worst gen to lose but losing this one by an even bigger landslide is totally ok because consoles are dying.

 

[Cool hand luke]

PS5 : ~250K
NSW : ~140K
X/S : ~100K

@Welfare estimates, which means X/S is about 20% too high. Sub 100k is just awful for Xbox in its strongest market, and considering the USA is about 60-70% of Xbox sales, it's barely over 100k units sold globally for the month. Def under a mil for the first 4 months of the year. Might creep to 2mil before they pull the plug this Christmas.

They all glazed tf outa starfield

 

[Cool hand luke]

They all glazed tf outa starfield

They never failed to add the context that it was also on gamepass so lower sales were excusable.
