(GSD) European Sales October 2024: Sharp drop in Call of Duty sales (premium sales) on Xbox platforms as a result of the Game Pass inclusion

I thought I remember an article saying there numbers went up a bit?
I mean this was the whole point of putting AAA on gamepass day 1, increase subs and keep them there. Lol Phil

I remember article about “expecting” to increase around 4 million… after the release everybody gone silent.

Ah, yes that might be it.
Its been almost a month, if there was a 1million increase they would of said something Id thought

I'm sure they probably got a bump of at least a few million. The real question is how much of that bump will exist in another month or two?

This is why i refuse to believe Xbox is at 30M sold or shipped.

They’ve been selling like this for 4 years and being down by large percentages every month and year over year.

The Xbox brand is no longer relevant. If it were any other company the console would of been shut down from the market already.

They were at roughly 25 million sold-through at the start of this year. At best, they're at 26.5-27 million sold-through as of this month.

It's been horrid for them, absolutely horrid on the console sales front.

It is not... best estimates it is around 28m.
And that is the best case.

Remember the comment of 60% more sold by Nadella. Could it be that they used last year sales of cod, but because they launched earlier they compared tail end sales vs new launch?

The consequences seem to be more revenue and higher profits. Doubling switch at double the price and 10x Xbox. Sony look to be doing fine.

Lol if you're talking about their latest results, they refer to Q2 FY2024, i.e. there's no Concord fiasco in there.

Give it a couple more quarters and see how well they're doing.

No. Q2 ended Sep 24. Concord released in August.
