European video game sales in June jump 20% thanks to Diablo 4, PS5 continues to dominate, sales up 116%

So, it wasn't a free to play ? Anyway, we can't be sure that Ms is lying : these is only european data , it is possible that Diablo 4 XB has sold extremely well in the USA and Canada. After all, they are pratically the only territories where XBox is still relevant...

But DIV is a PC game, 50-70% of the sale is on PC. By any metric there is no way Diablo IV sell faster than Overwatch.

Overwatch sold 7 million in one week, 47% on PS4, 35% XBONE, 17% on PC. That's 2.5M

So it should be best selling BLZZ game by logic, XB is lying as usual.

Yeah if the (Xbox) number for Overwatch really was around 2.5 million, there's no way D4 exceeded that. D4 has had 10 million players so far, so for it to hit more than 2.5 Xbox would have to represent more than 25% of sales, with PS clearly ahead of it, which would put console sales well over 50% of D4's total. I just don't see the PC marketshare for D4 being less than 50%, but it would have to be in that scenario.

Fastest selling is not best selling.

It’s another spin term MS is using to make something sound better than it really is.
