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

Funny comment from Resetera on this topic: "It's basically impossible to gauge success for Xbox first party now due to gamepass. Just need to base it on player numbers and Xboxes own metrics."Ah, yes, we should forgo unbiased data for how things are going and just listen to Xbox that they're doing perfect. Who needs console sales, profit, game sales, Game Pass subs, when we could just trust Phil.

For best-sellers of the year in NA market it's barely in Top 20 right now with digital included. However, I think with global markets and adding in digital, it'll most likely hit near or in the Top 10 for games sold (by revenue) this year.

Huh, did Nintendo release digital numbers anywhere? I'm curious to see.

Edit: I think you meant to say excluded, in whicase its not quite top 20 without it. Though it might be by this point, since we are halfway through November.

Resetera: Great success very nice

They are definitely going third party after this gen.


What a total disaster.


They can't even blame Don Mattrick for this latest string of failures. Phil has been in charge for roughly 10 years now and the Series consoles are doing worse than the XB1? Oof!


A really rough week for the Xbox camp. Watching Starfield get snubbed and also getting outsold by Spiderman in days must be extremely rough for them. To also learn that the Series S and X are doing worse than the XB1 launch aligned must be soul crushing as well.

Bradtross and vixopus putting in over time trying to damage control on resetera. Hope MS pays them well for it.

Even now, Xbox exists only as a Gamepass delivery system. Either Gamepass succeeds or they are done.

Resetera sure has overdosed on the green Kool aid.

 

[MaxParrish]

We are reaching the point where the market split will preclude Xbox exclusives from cracking the top 10, and possibly the top 20 after this holiday season.

When your competition has 80% of the user pool, you simply cannot sell enough copies to chart, even if you get an attach ratio of 1:1.

The game is also on PC, and Circana count digital sales, so is not only a problem of installbase, just bad performance

 

[MaxParrish]

Sorry, made a mess while trying to quote twitter for the oost below. I don't know why I finished up quotin your Gif. Anyway is a great Gif so : yeah ?

 

[MaxParrish]

Dollar sales is not the same as sales volume.

It's possible it did, but let's not forget that games are more expensive, and the special edition was also way more expensive.

A later Tweet from Matt say that the higher price is " the biggest factor" in the S2 advantage, which to me seems to suggest that it has also sold more copies, but the percentage is inferior

 

[gokuss4]

There are multiple PS5 consoles in the charts. With the original model alone selling 20K.

Yeah you're right
Playstation is also dominating the GameStop charts too

 

[Vertigo]

Super Mario Wonder is just getting started. Without digital accounted you do not get the entire picture especially when other titles have that included into these sales reports.

It’s not something that we will see front loaded like most other tentpole releases. Wonder might be evergreen like Mario Kart (which has a new switch bundle for Christmas).

Super Mario Wonder will surpass the best selling of those New Super Mario Bros. abominations. In what time frame? Eh, probably 3-4 years.

Which one is the current one for Xbox this is so confusing?

Is the Series below 360 and One or am I reading wrong?

Comparing to 360 is a bit difficult due to some periods of supply constraint when they revised hardware to deal with the defects their shitty engineering caused.

Series X/S are just ahead of the 360 but behind the xbox one.

The hardest thing is not the 36-month period, but to see where they will be at the end of their life.

The 360 made 43 million and the One still made 29 million.

I'm not sure the X/S will do as well.
