What will sell more Spiderman 2 or Starfield?

Yea seem like Bethesda is Phil favorite new toy until ABK got into MS's eyes.
Must be pretty sad for him. 1 year in and Bethesda/Zennimax haven't really made anything worthwhile yet, MS must got pretty fed up about their outputs and pull the EEE card again.
It would be funny seeing all the "Xbox's franchises" they splatter all over the place came collapsed because of creative bankruptcy.
Most hardcore players will go Steam version. Easier to mod will save the experience since it is a Betheseda game.
UWP apps are very restrictive, in gaming it is even worth

Japan and Asia will be the road block for Spider-Man 2 to reach that level.
The reason why Nintendo games are breaking records left and right is because they have Japan and Asia. The install base for four countries (Japan, China, South Korea, and Taiwan) alone is approximately 40 million units, and that's going to help a lot to accommodate first-party launch sales numbers.
Three days sales data in Japan
1. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet - 4.05m
2. Splatoon 3 - 3.45m
3. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - 2.68m
4. Zelda TOTK - 2.24m
5. Pokémon Sword and Shield - 2m
6. Pokémon Legends Arceus - 2m
7. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - 2m
I still don't understand why Pokemon sell that well. Especially since it is boring comparing to other Animal Crossing or Splatoon, TOTK,... Plus no redeeming quality whatsoever.
Franchise recognition off the roof.

There's no alternative to Monster-Catching, breeding, etc. and it's probably one of the few games in this world that's staying true to its roots.
The trailer for Spider-Man that came out yesterday is already a 4.3 millions views.
The trailer for Starfield from the showcase is at 1.8 millions on Bethesda channel after more than a month. All the views for 2023 Starfield videos are low. It's like the hype is fake.

You might as well just say Japan, China and South Korea don't buy consoles and Taiwan is Sony turf.
You misread my post. You might as well just say Japan *comma* the other two big ones don't buy consoles.

They do buy consoles, just not much from Sony and Taiwan is definitely not Sony's turf.
Taiwan hardware sales 2019-2022
Nintendo Switch - 916k
PlayStation 5 - 128k
PlayStation 4 - 119k
Xbox(all) - 13k
Those numbers are ass. Interesting to see how "much" they've embraced Switch, though.
Just to compare, the Netherlands has a similar, but slightly smaller, population but between 30 and 40 percent of households own a console of some kind. Taiwan is at less than half that.
Betting against spiderman has only brought me pain so far, he's always a winner.
So what? I did not know the Switch would be a success either... among many other things.
So I will not take a side on sales predictions, this is useless chest pumping, we should wait after a month or two of sales for each games (whatever relevant comparison stick we can get, console only, in an equal amount of time). Then we can draw conclusions, but then again, this is one game and it's not the only one Sony has... Well MS has RedFall in its recent catalog, but then we have FF XVI and whatever else that releases or released recently on PS5.
So, one blockbuster console exclusive against 5 or 10? and we will only count the one xbox has to offer in the autumn of 2023 because all of 2022 and the first half of 2023 did not count? This is like people who bought the Atari Jaguar for Doom expecting it to overtake the Genesis/SNES.

Lets be honest, no one out side of these gaming bubbles even know what starfield is lol
Spider-man 2 is a gaming event alongside the movies. It had an entire SDCC press event dedicated to it. Not only does it appeal to casual gamers but the same people who play starfield will probably buy a ps5 to play spider-man or already have one.

They really need something other than spider-man for PS5 this holiday. Unfortunate I have nothing new to look forward to till Death Stranding 2. Im sure many will be happy with more by the numbers capeshit but… not me. Not even bothering with looking at screenshots or trailers. Fuck that game and fuck open world super hero games.
I hope Helldivers 2 is great. Not just good. Fucking amazing.

If first party and 3rd party games aren’t enough for you you need another console, and if theres nothing on other consoles worth playing then you need another hobby
For me, i have way more games coming out and have yet to play then i have time or money for atm. This is one of the best years in gaming
