Where it’s at.
They only brought up SFV to console war and shit on Sony. Now the franchise is back and barely anyone bought it.

The same thing is happening with Persona, Yakuza and every franchise they rage about.

Square is the only company with a brain, Sega will learn the hard way.
SEGA pissed off a LOT of old-school Yakuza fans with the shit they pulled on Y7 for PS5 and it seems to have taught them nothing at all.

Not registering among the top 49 most played Xbox games is indicative of low sales, irrespective of its placement on top paid. Game Pass is effecting a majority of paid titles, not only SF6.

Game Pass can be good for studios who are chosen. Not so good for everyone else.

It is exactly that which you say.

Notwithstanding some anomaly in which it’s not being tracked… which I haven’t seen happen before.

Why did this thread even begin? Lol
Literally SF6 is in the top 3 under “Top Paid Games” just behind Diablo IV and NBA2K23.
When your platform is on the short side of 85:15 sales ratios, being the top seller doesn't mean shit.

Also, this thread exists because the grown-ups want to discuss the topic. Run along if you don't want to participate.

One thing I do appreciate about the digital age is having public access to data companies once paid decent sums of money to obtain.

I’m waiting for it to come to gamepass because gamepass has taught me that I don’t need to buy games. Just wait and get them free*.

They are training their users so well to not buy games, but only on their platform, i have never bought a game on the xbox app on pc but i still buy games on steam/gog and just like that people who have both the consoles are still going to buy games on ps5 but not on xbox, their gp strategy has only put themselves in the corner

In Steam right now is top 5 in best selling games.

It continues with 40K-50K concurrent users, didn't drastically drop from the launch peak (70.5K), showing a great user retention typical from a very successful and healty multiplayer game.

Early user reviews initially got boycotted due to Denuvo inclussion, but later as normal users started to review the game the score made a comeback and it's now at 90.63% positive reviews.

There are 10249 Steam user reviews, which leads to think it sold above 250K in Steam.

If it keeps selling on steam it’ll beat its peak concurrent on a random weekend. It’s growing.

That is also why SF6 missing from Xbox player charts is weird as hell. The game is thriving on other platforms.

I think the game not releasing on last gen xbox consoles unlike playstation where its available on ps4 also and the textures on series s being worse than the ps4 version could have played a part in the bad sales, also you can't forget that as bad as the ps5 controller pad is xbox pad isnt any better and no one is willing to put in the effort to learn it
