Still not there.

This is the very best example of Xbox not being able to sell games.

It charts on sales but not player metrics. And that’s bad for a 100% online driven game that banks on player engagement. That indicates sales for software are low across the board.

RE4 and RE8 suffered similar fates but SF6 is the big case study IMO. I expect the fake games press to slowly start picking up on this.

This trend is becoming more obvious. Xbox players only consume gamespass.

Wow, after all the years complaining that SFV wasn't on Xbox..... saying that SFV was a failure due to it being console exclusive.

Guess all of that was bullshit and they wouldn't have supported SFV anyway. You'd think they would jump at the chance to show Capcom how important their platform is.... but nah.
Most of these "the game has failed because there isnt a. Xbox versión" are stupid takes, fuckers dont buy games
 
Calling it now. Megaflop on Xbox hardware.

The Xbox version of Street Fighter 6 has failed to even chart in the XBL top 50 at all… at all whatsoever … just 10 days into its release.

:..Welll now it's 12 tops on top paid right now so....🤣
 
For new releases? Most do for a quick second. Like Jedi Survivor is still hanging around. REmake4 only showed up its launch week. Dead space also a moment’s appearance if at all….

they’re very short lived tho… to the point where you wonder if stuff like RE4 and Dead space bombed on the platform. Which of course they did…. You wonder if performance is similar on PlayStation and there’s surely some overlap but this is a huge discrepancy. SF6 is doing exceptional on PlayStation.

It’s gamespass… it’s totally fucked their consumer buying habits; because they no longer exist …. It’s just gamespass handouts
to be expected after whole gen of exclusivity but lets just forget tht ig 🤣

Where it’s at.
we xboxers dont play gamepass. After $1 I've never used it wasn't my style, but i damn well will in the future. It's false asf that we don't buy games especially for a game tht was locked for an entire gen smtg y'all convenienly forgot
This isn’t Twitter, but I imagine that even on there, your posts are crap.

If you aren’t paid to be a shill, it’s even more embarrassing.

  • Offer a subscription service with a box of pringles
  • Condition your fanbase that this service is all they need
  • Games stop selling in your platform, causing developers to not even prioritise for it

Peh!
Deals to thm are their business, to us? More options. If the sells sells so poorly thn ight free upfront gamepass money. Either way the devs benefit from the plat. After all can't expect allat from some 3rd place

That's actually not a great sign. We already have UK physical sales splits for Diablo 4 and it's very much almost 3:1 in favor of PlayStation. Even with digital, at best you get a 2.5:1 ratio still in favor of PlayStation. UK market trends likely mirror in the US, and Xbox is basically a non-starter in other markets around the world, especially when it comes to software sales.

So the fact SF6 is only #12 on Top Paid and it's behind a bunch of old games (and annual sports releases) isn't the best look for Xbox. And as others have said, the player metrics don't look good at all since it's not even in the Top 50, so chances are MTX/DLC sales are very low on Xbox for the game.

Devs benefit so much that gamepass cannibalizes game sales. They benefit so much that some of them are not even porting their games to the platform because there's almost the expectation that everything is gamepass day one. Your choice is between supporting the devs proper or to accept that you will be getting more and more shovelware riddled with mtx.
