Circana (NPD) US sales October - PlayStation platforms accounted for 82% of COD: Black Ops 6 console dollar sales volume

Yup. Also he doesn't even show splits very much, so this was defintley done to show effects of gamepass, so makes no sense to miss out pc. My guess pc declined aswell and playstation still had a big share compared to the others combined.

Agree.

Definitely trying to sugarcoat the situation.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to Game Pass did a few things in the US... it resulted in a subscription spending boost, shifted share of full game sales to PlayStation, did not appear to result in massive cannibalization of sales, and did not appear to provide a significant boost to Xbox Series hardware.

How does he know about there wasn’t a massive cannibalisation of sales without PC sales/PC Gamepass figures.

Yet say there was a Gamepass subscription boost.

That dragon age debut is weak. Metaphor coming in ahead of it is sorta huge.

If having COD day n date on Game pass ain’t resulting in the avalanche of Series consoles being sold then nothing will.

Dring and him are always omitting information to paint what narrative they want.

We got somewhat of a full picture on the effect of gamepass on cod sales in the UK sales report. But dring decided he wouldn't do the same for the European numbers.... And Mat always does this aswell, no consistency in reporting.

They don’t want to upset that camp.

Dring even left Twitter temporarily because he said something negative about Xbox.

Now he tries his best to keep them happy.

Simple fact is to see the full effects of Gamepass you need to the look at Xbox and PC Gamepass.

Actually surprised how close the PS3 sold to the PS1 and PS4 in the end

I thought Astro Bot at 15 meant it had shitty legs but looking at the games it's surrounded by it's actually selling at a reasonably healthy clip.

 

[anonpuffs]

82% of the sales on Playstation yet he claims Game Pass isn't cannibalizing sales how can he make such a claim???

i mean all of these people are agenda driven to protect the good name of microsoft, it's probably contractual at this point

The PS3 could have sold as well as the PS1 or PS4 if the 360 hadn't been so successful.

Wish it did, still my fave PlayStation era!

I’m glad for Silent Hill. Good remake.

The turnaround was impressive, while Xbox's steady decline has also been interesting to watch.

I think PS5 will hit something around 50 million units in North America. If they box Microsoft out of the next generation, their sales potential becomes significantly higher.
