Its more about progressing the generation, its not the best business but it always happened. Casuals will follow like they always have. Companies like EA make so much money from Football games, I dont care if it makes money for them or makes sense
Sports games don't progress shit, it's why they're crossgen for years and years just like Ubisoft's Just Dance series.
It makes casuals move to next gen if there football game isnt there on there PS4/Xbox anymore. This happens every gen

I know people already explained but I wanted to add....
There a chart with digital + physical that is supposed to be out on Friday every week from GSD but seems like Chris stopped to share it for whatever reason (or he just post the monthly chart now).
In that chart I believe Helldivers 2 is doing pretty good.
This is the May UK digital + physical... Helldivers is 5th.

People said I was crazy when I said PC is barely better than Xbox when it comes to the vast majority of AAA gamesUK Sales : Week 25, 2024 (Jun 16 - Jun 22)

What an overrated market
This doesn't include digital.. there is no physical on PC.People said I was crazy when I said PC is barely better than Xbox when it comes to the vast majority of AAA games
That is the reason there is no % PC in most games in the chart @Evilms posted.... the ones that had is due special editions that are sold at retail (that are just a digital code inside a disc lol).
In Elden Ring DLC it is that is being counted on PC:
PC sales are bigger than Xbox in most games we have data but it is still lower than PS.
For games that launches only in PS5, Xbox and PC the ratio is normally around: 40%, 30% and 20% respectively.
But that was when Xbox's gamers used to buy games... today probably Xbox is below 10%.... so maybe PS is near 50% and PC near 40%.

70:20:10 more like. PC is nowhere near consoles (or PS5 alone) in any of the European charts we have hard data forThis doesn't include digital.. there is no physical on PC.

For Elden Ring digital + physical...
What changed is that Xbox probably is closer to 10% today so any of the others needs to rise.... PS5 + PS4 being closer to 50% or PC being closer to 40%.

In fact including Switch by the graph it is no lower than 16% for PC and depending how much of physical is PC it go higher.
But let’s pretend PC had no physical (it had like Elden ring showed) that means 84% needs to be split between PS, Switch and Xbox.
Let’s say Xbox is 10%… that left 74% to PS and Switch… around 37% each?
Now let’s remove Switch… you have 37% + 16% + 10% = 63%… 16 / 73 = 25%.
So between PS, PC and Xbox… PC has at least 25% of the sales.
Remember that not including PC physical and assuming PS had at least half of what of PS5/Switch %… if Switch is higher the PC % increases too.
So ~40% PS, ~30% PC and ~20% Xbox I showed is pretty close to what that graph shows.
