UK Sales: Week 40, 2023 (Oct 01 - Oct 08) STARFIELD and Pikmin out of top 40

[Gods&Monsters]

As predicted Starfield, the game of the generation, is already out of the top 40 in its 4th week. No legs at all no matter how clown Chris Dring was shilling for it. I wonder how he will spin this. Pikmin 1 + 2 also came out 2 weeks ago and it's already out. Another flop for Sugarbetic.

Well Pikmin 1+2 already got a digital release a few months ago. At least Pikmin 4 is still up there

Also people seem to start getting ready for FF7 Rebirth, woth Reunion charting again.

Diablo 4 out of the top 40 probably isnt good id assume? I feel like that game kind of came and went. Starfield is a mega flop.

Forza debuts at no 23 in UK and it came out on a Tuesday

Chris Dring stopped doing these rankings after Starfield flopped so now we have to rely on a random Nintendo website.

Rest assured he will be back to doing the update for Spiderman tho

 

[Johnic]

Tag him on Twitter, see what he has to say.

 

[FatKaz]

Looking a his twitter looks like his at egx, probably why his not posting much sales stuff.

UK and EU monthly charts are quite late, they usually come well before NPD.

Starfield out of the top 40 is crazy when Stray, a 2022 indie is in (with all due respect). I guess we're supposed to believe close to 10 million are playing on Gamepass?

Yeah that's expected, he will bend over backwards for positive MS articles.

Sales reports are not kind to MS, so they get pushed back.

His probably trying to find the words to damage control next months sales.

Gamepass (general subscription service) effect

Gamepass (general subscription service) effect

The optimistic case still relies on a huge % of the total users playing Starfield. A sizeable portion of subscribers are probably not using the service at all.

No, that's not the gamepass effect I'm talking about. I'm talking about the "value destruction" that bobby kotick and others have talked about in court. When your material is in a sub service day one, it degrades its perceived value to the point that you no longer want to pay for it, and if you no longer want to pay for it, there's less desire to play it at all.

Yeah, it becomes "content": something you 'eat and throw away' per Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese said the entertainment industry is in a 'period of reinventing' cinema during his Screen Talk at London Film Festival on Saturday.

Forza not doing well in the UK does not seem positive for anywhere else considering racing games do better in the UK vs usa

If starfield and forza arent charting in the UK, how bad is everything else on xbox doing?
