I can see why some might have thought that given the stuff Mat Piscatella tweets out; statistics help him paint these pretty pictures but seeing past the words, checking for context and using a bit of common sense goes a long way with them - so when possible sticking to what the data itself says rather than how the messenger presents it or whips a spin on it. Not always easy.

The crazy thing is a couple of weeks after release the devs themselves stated it was almost 50/50 and close overall 🤔

My bad 🤷‍♂️ though I'm sure the initial split was 75/25. Happy to be wrong and not be a total bitch about making a mistake.

Do we have figures for total units sold ?

I respect acknowledging a wrong assumption even though things aren't finite yet. I wouldn't rule out a 55/45 split or something close.

No, not total sales yet and you know this is only UK.

Gap will probably shrink in the upcoming week 4-5-6, etc...
Because I would expect a MP game with momentum to have to have better legs than a SP game.

Absolutely awesome initial performance for HD2.

You know what pisses me off about this forum and it's the only downfall of it, is that it has the same tribalism as Neogaf, resetera, n4g, ign etc.

I've praised Sony plenty in the past. Gave them great reviews for their PSVR2 and hardware in general.

I won't give them credit when it comes to actively harming their own brand. Especially as they're following the exact same path as Xbox. I was a big OG Xbox and 360 fan, then they dropped the ball and I criticised their direction because it was the wrong one.

Now I'm doing the same for Sony. If you can't see how they're a shadow of their former selves and are currently committing slow hari Kari then that's on you. But don't hand wave away criticism as fanboyism because it then makes conversation pointless.

If all opinions are waved away as hurr durr fanboyism, without trying understand the frustrations, then you're objectively slow witted.

Is saying the split was 75/25 based on nothing criticism though?

these are uk numbers and you're ok extrapolating it to the whole world? but you didn't like the logic of comparing known steam numbers with a known fixed player cap?

Fixed player cap of what?

Isn't steam numbers just players opening the app? During the server problems when it was peaking it could have been just people spamming the server trying to login.

I saw that kari kari could happen in 2020, just because some isn't dooming PS every day (we have nomhnom and danja for that 😂 ) doesn't mean they are happy.

Oh so because there are less Xbox fanboys it must be tribalism. You chose OG Xbox and 360 over PS2 and PS3, this proves your thinking is flawed.

Chris himself said it was 60% on PC. Mat NPD also implied it was selling more on PC when the truth is PS5 is selling more.

Always with the agenda when it's Sony-related. They want to prove the console market is dying when it's Xbox only.
