Just to demonstrate how bullshit those numbers are, here's what our Alinea Analytics had to say about MGS Delta:
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater debuted on August 26 and sold 281 K during the month on PS5. It's now sold 500 K cross-platform units across Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.
Konami has just announced a milion copies sold. Those guys are selling copium for fanboys.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater shipments and digital sales top one million
Total shipments and digital sales for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater have surpassed one million units worldwide as of August 28, Konami announced.www.gematsu.com
Of course it's BS. Everyone here knows Alinea can't be trusted but some people want to run with the info because it's telling them what they want to hear and when Alinea says something they don't want to hear they'll go right back to calling them frauds.

Alinea also said that Madden NFL 26 (or College Football 26) was selling better on Xbox than on PS5….
So yeah, they're Shit

But Gaf said Xbox players don't buy game's
The guys making these claims also said "What we're seeing with Helldivers 2's success on Xbox is the result of pent-up demand colliding with the right kind of content". Kinda implies Xbox fans haven't had games they have actually wanted to buy.
Of course, all that hinges on believing this guy actually knows what he is talking about, which I have serious doubts. So.....who knows?
Unexpected success: Helldivers 2 sales on Xbox outpace PlayStation — what’s behind the sales surge?
In a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom, Helldivers 2 has outsold its PlayStation counterpart on Xbox within days of launch, racking up 926,000 copies to the PlayStation’s 633,000, raising intriguing questions about player engagement across consoles.

If the game doesn't sell = "Xbox players don't buy games, GamePass bad"
If the game outsells the PS5 in the same period = "But HD2 is more popular now, no surprises, it's no big deal"

On the whole they don't. Just look at Final Fantasy 7 remake... Although we were told they weren't buying it cause it took so long to arrive. Helldivers 2 took over a year to arrive as well so I guess that's within the acceptable range for the people who suck at the teet of Phil.But Gaf said Xbox players don't buy game's

Well, the game didn't outsell the PS5 version in the same period.
Their "source" literally just makes their shit up. Which we've always known.
Xbox gamers still don't buy games. Hell, most stores don't even stock physical Xbox games anymore.

When the game is ALSO on a rental service. Is Helldivers 2 available to rent on Xbox Series consoles? For once, a hyped up game is out and not available to rent. They had zero choice.

Post was funny but Helldivers is not even remotely Halo beyond that they are both shooting aliens games. May as well toss in Earth Defense Force and Gears.

Shit sorry- FF16! My bad!FF7 remake isn't out on Xbox yet. What do you want people to look at it for?

What about it? That 22k figure for it also came from the same Alinea Analytics.
If you think that's true then I guess you also believe these HD2 Xbox numbers.

I believe SOME developers when they say it's not a priority putting games on xbox as they don't sell cause of gamepass and the expectations from Xbox gamers is that their games will come onto gamepass eventually. Good enough for you or would you like specifics in every games sales on Xbox vs PS5?

You don't need Alinea to know that the game was going to be a flop on xbox.

But Square have said nothing like that, and you're the one who brought up FF16, or rather FF7 Remake.
Don't just throw random things at the board hoping something sticks.
Charted in the Xbox top 10, despite being digital only, and a shadow drop without any prior pre-order cycle.
Don't tell me you also trust Alenia for this one example now.

Charted for the platform it launched on 2 years later, if it had been a year or so, might have sold as well, maybe even outsell the PS counterpart, like Helldivers 2, right?

I'm just happy to see you expand out of your emoji shell, playstation games doing well on xbox seems to be the catalyst

You're fucking kidding, right? You're showing us all a top 10 sales for Xbox games, and it was number 4 when we ALL know sales are low on Xbox games. Huge effort there from FF16. How many sales did it get, champ?But Square have said nothing like that, and you're the one who brought up FF16, or rather FF7 Remake.

Not too certain why you're trying to push this narrative that games sell on Xbox consoles when they haven't since xbots where trained to not buy and wait for gamepass games. But hey, you do you superstar.

I don't know and neither do you, so I'm not sure why you're so confident calling it a flop when the only place that put any kind of number was Alenia which you seem to be flip flopping on as acceptable or not on a per-game basis.
The game this topic is about has two SKU's sitting at the top paid positions in multiple regions right now.

Do you have an actual point or are you just going to continue running down the twitter bot playbook statements over and over?

Nah you got me. A top selling game on Xbox equates to games sell really well on Xbox. Argument over. I concede. I'll reconsider next time arguing with a master.I don't know and neither do you, so I'm not sure why you're so confident calling it a flop when the only place that put any kind of number was Alenia which you seem to be flip flopping on as acceptable or not on a per-game basis.

At the end of the day, Xbox gamers get the option to buy games or get it on GP. No different than Sony gamers waiting for a game to come to PS+. If Sony gamers didnt care about PS+ games, then all they'd do is sub to the basic tier with MP and thats it.
And guess what? Sales of DVD, BR and music have tanked like crazy too when just about everyone does NF, Spotify or Disney+ etc.... Who cares. People have the option to buy or stream.
Do you care about how much sales charting your car, microwave or TV sells compared to other brands? Of course not.
Helldivers is a top paid seller right now on Xbox. Who really cares. If anything you should be happy because Xbox gamers get to play, Sony makes money, and MS gets a cut too. Why try to downplay H2 on Xbox, and both companies making some money off it?

If games did not sell on Xbox, why do EA, Ubisoft, 2k keep putting up games there?
Why would Sony go through the trouble of getting HellDivers 2 on there?

I was told here that this was a stupid move by Sony and it will show them that it's not worth putting their games on Xbox.
Oops.
Welcome to where these companies don't give a rats ass about these plastic box wars and care about one thing…. MONEY. Exclusive titles are going to way of the dodo. Microsoft realized this awhile ago.

Wouldn't be surprised if these numbers are accurate. The game has been made incredibly popular since the PS5/PC launch.
Sold over 12+ million within its first 12 weeks across PS5/PC. With that said, I doubt it will even come close to PS5 or PC numbers on the Xbox.
This is a Ja Rule moment:
