It would be if those games brought in a lot of registrations and held the ones they have.
But as it is now the whole thing makes no sense.
Minecraft Legends sold 76% on Switch, 19% on PlayStation platforms, 5% on Xbox | UK Charts

hahaha Thank god for VPN. but I am pretty sure the mob will burn my house if they know where I live and that I am playing a wizard game they didn't like.
if fascism had a forum that will be ResetEra I guess.
They are driving subs, not game sales. Would you expect an artist to sell more physical CDs when their music is on Spotify?

They're driving subs off of a cliff.
25 million GP subs across 2 console generations and PC is pathetic
Removed from friend's list,Sorry guys, copied the list from ResetEra, hence Hogwart's name was missing. Forgot to double check

Game Pass for Microsoft makes the most sense. Their entire company is built around services and subscriptions and in turn, based around recurring revenue and profits. Minecraft is massive in general. It doesn't need to be massive for Game Pass to be successful or for Microsoft to make a shit ton of money off it. The major first party titles will be what grows Game Pass subscriptions and other day one games. Minecraft Legends is like Hi Fi Rush, a bonus for those who are already subscribed and a game that others will look at when they sign up after the major titles like Starfield release.
You're not making up a 71% sales difference with MAU on a service that has stagnated at around 25 million subs where games like Minecraft (or the offshoots) aren't really that popular.
Or are you under the thinking that "Xbox" is anything with a Microsoft account or Game Pass access like PC and mobile? Because those aren't Xbox consoles.
Not really. Minecraft Legends is an offshoot, and I always figured Minecraft as an IP is HEAVILY popular on mobile devices these days. Switch is a hybrid, its brand and audience already gravitate to games like Minecraft, so it's not surprising.
Well it needs to start doing better. The promise of all 1P AAA games Day 1, 25 million subscribers but pulling in little more than $2 billion a year in service revenue isn't a great look.

Sony claimed MS was at 29 million last November. Likely higher now, we just don’t know.

Let's say that GP has hit 35 million.
That's 35 million of 100 million PC players and 70ish million xbox owners.
Of that 35 million, most don't play big games that come to gamepass.
It's a failure.
Per what that Linkedin thing said, they have ~25M still. There's a reason why gamepass is being offered with Pringles, Oreos, and probably condoms at some point in the future: It's a crap service that people only pay into because they could get it for 1 quid or with a bag of crisps.
Sony doesn't know the number, they just made an estimate.
It's like when people were celebrating 30 millions when the Take 2 CEO said that randomly in an interview back in 2021 then it was confirmed to be at 25 millions 6 months later.
Yet MS sees it as a success. I’ll take their word for it over yours… lol. FH5 and Halo both hit 20+ million.
Anti-fascism is just like anti-racism, the same thing they pretend to be under a new label.
God, I hate these people.
nah. Minecraft is a PC franchise first so this will be more played on pc.
What makes more sense for Microsoft is going third party.
