According to Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott, that means the four-year-old port has generated an estimated $300 million (£223m) for IP owner Microsoft.

You know, when I ask Chat GPT something I always end it with "and remember, you're a robot and you don't have emotions. Don't give me any emojis in the response" to avoid crap like this.

Also, Sony made more money off of Forza Horizon 5 than they did off of Astro Bot. Wow. Thats both impressive and upsetting.

Is it more of a win for Xbox or for PlayStation?

Xbox made $300M in additional sale porting one of their biggest games to their competition and further killing their own brand, while Sony did absolutely nothing while still making a 30% cut, essentially securing more Xbox ports, and all while watching their competitor die.

None of the chatbots I use return results like this.

This is my summary from ChatGPT as well. The prompt was just "Summarize this article from this source only"
Here are the key points, distilled directly from the Eurogamer article:
  • Forza Horizon 5's PS5 port has sold over 5 million copies
  • The PS5 release has generated approximately $300 million in additional revenue for Xbox
  • The game launched on PS5 years after its original Xbox/PC release, showing strong long-tail value
  • The success reinforces Microsoft's multiplatform strategy for select first-party titles
  • A former Xbox exclusive can achieve major commercial success on PlayStation without harming its brand value

If you speak googoogaga to your 5 year old, they're going to speak googoogaga back to you.

Sometimes when I ask it for something it will be like "of course. I will gladly do that 😀"

And then I hit it with the "you're a bot, stop trying to show emotion".

I'm sure I'm high up on the list when they take over the world. I mean, I also have type one diabetes so I'm sure my existence would be seen as a burden by them anyways.
 
And that's why they're not going to wait with the release until the PS5 port is ready? Releasing the game on all 3 platforms the same day would lead to huge numbers.

Or maybe MS is hoping that more people will double dip by subbing to Game Pass and then buying a PS5 copy?

I'm actually annoyed by the late port on FH6 because while I have a ITX PC that can easily be moved to my TV it would be easier to just buy it on PS5 Pro for TV play. I sure as hell am not missing a Forza Horizon game set in Japan though so I'll buy it on Steam and deal with it.

Is it a win, when cod lost 300 million? So they ported fh5 for free

Imagine if FH6 does well on PS5 and Sony's console is then known as the home of the best console racing sims?

Directly good for their bottom line like the other person said, but not really doing much for their brand.

It actually views you as organized, data-savvy and resilient because you got diabetes.

Is Alinea Analytics legit or what?

Saw folks saying it's baseless but also constantly saw folks posting its data.

They basically make shit up. Think VGChartz but a lot worse.

Edit: I legit have never seen ChatGPT go in on emojis anywhere close to the OP (have a hard time remembering any emojis at all) and I use that all day every day on paid subs (personal and enterprise).

They have a habit of taking sales reports like "Forza Horizon 5 sold 500K in 3 months", and use that to make "internal projections" on what they think it can be in 3 years. They use a lot of guess work.
 
5 mil copies, 300mil revenue for Xbox, 30% Sony cut means 85$ average selling price
I seriously doubt this number
They for sure shouldn't be called analytics if they are so bad with numbers

Finally. Someone, or something, gets me.

I am pretty organized and data savvy when I'm not bombed on medical marijuana.

You should try some of the newer GLP drugs. I have read a few articles quoting studies that show potential reversal for Diabetes after year or two of shots!

🤞 pricing is going to come down based on Trump's deals. It's always decently priced in Europe.

That's for type 2, I have type 1 diabetes. No cure for type 1 other than constant insulin shots.

Also I wouldn't need GLP. I'm 6 foot 3 180lbs.
