Sorry, was just being a dumbass because if they are the new VGChartz they must over inflate like the old one.I'm sorry, maybe I'm a bit confused, are you talking about VGChartz or this new Alinea place? I don't think Alinea has ever been 'known' to inflate Xbox numbers if that's what you were talking about.
Hell, if they're using user review counts, they're probably deflating it. I've got 200+ items on my purchased list, I haven't left a review for a single thing.

The hot takes here from Xbox haters are wild. I'll spell it out:
All the ~22K really shows is that launching a game years late on a new platform cannabilizes most of the demand.
- The game was initially relased two years ago and is now being sold at almost full price on the Xbox store.
- Most people who wanted to play FF16 have already done so on PS5/PC.
- While FF16 was received well by critics at launch, word of mouth after was super divisive. Discussion literally died out within a few months of launch, although I do remember constant threads about how awful the sidequests were.
- FF16 sold 50% less than FF15 did in the same timespan. FF15 vastly outperformed FF16 in almost all categories on all platforms.
- The Final Fantasy name as a brand has lost a lot of its luster. When the last good game in your series was almost 15 years ago... you got issues.

I'm looking forward to it selling 50,000 on Xbox!Thats cos by now everyone knows its shit and not an rpg either....Rebirth will be a different story
Stellar Blade can't be compared with FF XVI for many reasons such as:Stellar Blade says Hi!
If there is audience, there is sales. Even 1 year later.
It's just shows that xbox crowd (and there is xbox-only crowd) has no interest in jrpg. Not that it's something new and unusual, xbox fans ignored jrpg since x360 days.
You green rats always have excuses for everything. Forza Horizon 5 is almost 4 years vs FF16's 2 year late port, $59.99 vs $49.99, that's $10 more even though it released way later too.The hot takes here from Xbox haters are wild. I'll spell it out:

What's the next excuse for when The Outer Worlds 2 bombs, folks saving money for trick or treating?
And people is surprised xbox hardware failed...Xbox gamers have been conditioned to not buy games because of gamepass, so are we surprised that this game tanked on xbox? Now maybe square enix can stop blaming sony/playstation exclusivity for final fantasy not selling to their expectations when the reality is the last two named entries they released in ff15 and ff16 have sucked ass.
Because the vast majority of people who wanted to play the game already have the console they need to play it on. This has been true for almost all once-exclusive franchises. It's especially true as it pertains to the Xbox, which has always sold proportionally fewer copies of all but the most dudebro casual of titles, and even more true as it pertains to JRPGs and Xbox.All the ~22K really shows is that launching a game years late on a new platform cannabilizes most of the demand.
This only reinforce statement that if there is a playerbase - there are sales. SB has playerbase on Steam, FF16 has none on xboxStellar Blade can't be compared with FF XVI for many reasons such as:
1) Chinese and korean players in Steam
Mass market doesn't care about modding. Especially that nude shit.2) Moddable ( I don't think I have to expand on this)
So is FF163) Received good reviews
Doesn't matter. There IS Xbox exclusive playerbase and we are talking about it. That it's not very interested in JRPG and it was so since x360 era where JRPG sold 4:1 or worse despite having close installbase4) It was a PS exclusive, whereas FF XVI has been already a multiplatform title since a year ago
Didn't stop Nier Automata or many other games5) GOOD PORT!
Like Call of Duty or EAFC. Yeah, sure.6) A game on PC will probably sell better than on consoles nowdays
If FF7R bombs, that might be it for FF on Xbox.
No way they are going to release the sequel just so it can sell half of a Bomba.

I don't understand xbots.
Why cling to a dead platform? If the competitive superior platform is same price or cheaper. Why. Just why.
If PlayStation went to shit and Xbox was great, I would be there. But it's dead.
So why make up arguments and narratives. Why. I don't understand it. Sell this shit on eBay and improve your life.
It sold alike shit because Xbox players are gamepass beggars. At least those still there because everyone with 2 brain cells have left with Xbox one.
And it's an amazing game.
All your arguments "oh it's an old game that everyone who wanted to played it" would fall short if bloodborne was ported
Edit: is it money? That 400$ is a sunken cost. Sell what you can on eBay and get a real platform

ZZZ hundred times more popular than SB - number of mods there are pathetic.
Only good mods are those that improve performance or radically improve IQ or gameplay and SB in no need for this.
So is FF16
Doesn't matter. There IS Xbox exclusive playerbase and we are talking about it. That it's not very interested in JRPG and it was so since x360 era where JRPG sold 4:1 or worse despite having close installbase
Even in US sales for FF13 were 3:1 in favor of PS installbase adjusted
Didn't stop Nier Automata or many other games
Like Call of Duty or EAFC. Yeah, sure.
Most games that sells better on PC have significant China effect
MS paid those costs![]()
They might not even make back there porting costs![]()
China effectWukong sold much better on PC than on PS5
How it relate to sales on Xbox? Even being a "failure" it sold 3.5 mil on Playstation. And 22k sales on Xbox is just patheticsecondly FF XVI and FFXV were a flop confirmed by SE themselves
Same as Nier Automata port on PC, didn't stop it from sellingAlso, no matter how hard you try to spin it this is a lazy release with zero effort from SE in every angle: mediocre port, zero advertisement, almost full priced, no physical release, just to name a few.
Says the guy that has a good PC but still clings on to his PS5.I don't understand xbots.

Seriously. Bring over an actually good game and people will buy it. Not XVI, not Wukong. Games with tons of flaws that people have pointed out for a while. I'm glad they got ports, but I'm not buying it day 1. I will get these on sale later.Don't be salty at 'green rats' if there's a much bigger demand for a quality game on one side
Man Xbox warriors being compared to Japanese ww2 islanders thinking the wars still going on is the most fitting comparison.Because their mindset regarding Exbox is still in 2006.
Like those Japanese soldiers they just never gave up and moved on.
I thought it was a total letdown as an action game as well. Most enemies just stand there like training dummies while you cycle through your moves off cooldown and slowly chip away at their health. It was so dull.Square-Enix did the right call porting the game. After all, there are dozens of us... DOZENS!!!!
I really liked the game, i dont understand where these ppl caslling the game trash are coming from, but it's the best main FF game since the PS2. You can argue that is not a good RPG, or not a good Final Fantasy, but it is a pretty good game with a very satisfying action combat system (Once you equip the Titan skill for block/ counter attack) and some sick boss battles and setpieces. Also one of the best FF main characters and pretty nice story as well.

I would probably get Silent Hill 2 for $40-50 though.
I know you just have to follow me around and comment on virtually everything I say, but yes, we all know about review scores. Do you want me to give you a book report on each game or something? I very transparently stated what I thought about all of them so I have nothing at all to hide.Damn Miku, didn't realise you had such high standards.

You've come a long way from your days of defending Starfield and Redfall, to the extent where you got banned for defending the latter.

I'm proud of how far you've come.
this got mehmassive and growing
Quality games like Avowed and South of Midnight right? The same games that released day 1 on PC yet has less CCU than FFXVI combined.Don't be salty at 'green rats' if there's a much bigger demand for a quality game on one side
Also, TOW2 is multi-plat, if that bombs that would mean even the Playstation bros wouldn't have bought it. So I'm not even sure where we're going with this.![]()
It's unfortunate they aren't selling well but both of those are definitely better than FFXVI. A lot better. I've played all 3 to completion. Everyone here knows you haven't.Quality games like Avowed and South of Midnight right? The same games that released day 1 on PC yet has less CCU than FFXVI combined.
Nah, Switch 2 will save them If; it's a high quality port, priced right, and especially if actually on the card.![]()

I'm sure we can trust your opinion, after all you claimed Hellblade 2 was a master piece.It's unfortunate they aren't selling well but both of those are definitely better than FFXVI. A lot better. I've played all 3 to completion.
