Might be close but I think ToTk is going to win GOTY. No matter what though - this was one of the best years in gaming history!

I was talking about sales.

Yea it still might be close though.

What’s with some posters here equating Starfield with Skyrim?

Skyrim sold this then Starfield will do the same?

One is a new IP on 2 platforms with Gamepass and the other was an established IP on numerous platforms and generations.

 

[Swift_Star]

Gamepass means low sales.

 

[Nhomnhom]

If Starfield sells well on PC is probably means PC Gamepass will never take off.

It's either relatively low sales or disappointing growth in Gamepass subscribers.

I hope this is going to be Bethesda's Cyberpunk if once again they deliver an uninspired and poorly designed game that is also a technical mess.

 

[BroodCorp]

Not a fair comparison even remotely.

TOTK numbers are still hard to beat. No other games except TOTK and Pokémon S/V managed to sell 10 million copies in 3 days on a single platform.

Given Bethesda's Open World pedigree, I doubt they'll get to CDPR's level of over-promising and under-delivering. From their gameplay presentations, Starfield plays very much in BGS's strengths as a studio and the technologies they've built.

I Don't think we will see the true numbers of starfield

 

[Vertigo]

Starfield would have vastly outperformed Cyberpunk 2077 if it was being sold as a $70 multi platform game. But it’s on gamespass for both Xbox and PC and will instead bring in a fraction of that. Hundreds of millions abandoned.

I’m sure Pete Hines is not happy that CoD and Diablo will be able to recoup their dev and marketing costs with future games and the last 10 years of dev time on Starfield won’t until they started dropping paid expansion and dlc content (which they are already in preorder).

You’re only going to get a unique player stat which I’m guessing is going to be close to 20 million at launch. Exponentially way bigger release than Halo as well.

 

[Remember_Spinal]

Microsoft said themselves they are sacrificing sales to increase xbox ecosystem, which means sales on their own platform as well.

You are either gonna have a major increase in gamepass subscribers or sales, it can’t be both, unless they expect every common gamer to buy an xbox, subscribe to gamepass and then buy the game on top of it, its just not realistic.

I assume once word gets out that a lot of playstation only gamers will just stream the game instead of dumping money on it.

Unless it gets a PS5 & Switch 2 version, I don't see Starfield pulling more than 14 million in lifetime sales. At least 60% of those will be on PC, and then there is Game Pass on both Xbox and PC acting as an alternative which will drive down the need to buy the game itself.

I think it can do a solid 3 million in its first month (1 million on launch day), 7 million in its first year, and then sell the rest over a period of a few years. Again, that's with Xbox & PC, majority of sales on the latter.

They aren't getting Skyrim 30+ million numbers without PlayStation and Nintendo, full stop. You can kill that dream right here and now. Skyrim also benefited from a very different market at the time where there weren't many other WRPGs around, and RPG mechanics weren't as prevalent in other AAA games. That's no longer the case, and it will still have to contend not just with Spiderman 2, but also Baulder's Gate 3, Diablo 4 (which is still going strong), TOTK (also still going strong), and FF XVI (ditto). People aren't just going to stop playing those games because Starfield's now available, no en masse.

TItle shouldve be Miles Morales 2 or Starfield

Cos

Spoiler: Because

Spiderman is the villain in this game

 

[Danja]

Spiderman will probably have higher sales first couple months but I fully expect Starfield sales to be dependent on PC... So that's a wild card.

Yoo putting it this way, it seems untenable not to do a PS5 version down the line. Exclusives are important for the brand, but if you leave 20M sales on the table on a game that probably cost 400M to make, you're fucking up egregiously.
