4000 for sf. Any idea what games normally sell there?

Week 25 FF XVI sold 25 000. IIRC

 

[Gods&Monsters]

Are they counting the Starfield bundle as a game sale too?

4000 is low but still too high when the actual console sells so poorly.

Dat starfield sales bump

Depends with what you compare….

For Xbox games it is a good number.
For PS games it is utter bad… even failures sell over that.

Starfield, with 4,000 copies at launch, does slightly better than Halo Infinite 2,800 and the latest Forza Horizon 2,000 in this market.


Hardware

1-PS5: 12,000 (12,500)
2-NSW: 3,300 (3,000)
3-X/S: 1,200 (1,500 the previous week before starfield)

From a ratio of 8:1 (PS5:X/S) to 10:1 for the week of starfield!

And on the article they state :

What's clear is that, even if this is the most important Xbox launch of 2023, Starfield hasn't convinced many people to buy an Xbox series. Without any big releases this week, we can't say that these almost 4,000 copies of Starfield (including the three editions of the game) are a success.

Always in Spain

Always in Spain

Nice! FF16 is number 4 already and it's the most recent release on that chart

I am worried I just bought a VR device that is being sent to die. Really disappointed with Sony in not trying to push PSVR2

 

[Evilms]

Switch and PS5 games in physical format will account for 71% of total sales in Spain for this year.

The remaining 29% must be for PS4, XB1, Xbox Series and PC.

And that's with Starfield, imagine without it

Dat MS monopoly!

They should be allowed to buy more publishers, right Yuri?

Absolutely. When you fail at your job, don't you get paid more? Isn't that how this works?

sadly plenty of people in the c-suite fail upwards

Bigger news is 75%-25% split between Series S and Series X for total Series install base (someone should make a thread- too busy). Overwhelming majority of Xbox fans are gaming in 1080p in 2023. Add to that the 125m Switch owners....

This industry is moving at a snail pace.

Starfield has had an impact on Xbox hardware sales.... again, games and exclusives do matter, despite whatever BS PR industry suits put out, or media personalities parrot. An insult to anyone's intelligence.

Will the bump be enough? Absolutely not. MS needs consistency of output, and consumer trust and they have neither outside their limited core base, and confused casuals.
