how accurate this source?

Shocked Xbox/PS5 gap isn't bigger, not even 2x

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Wow, almost 10M from Windows based Xbox. And 15M including Sony based Xbox too.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Pretty good sales for Xbox if accurate

 

[//DEVIL//]

how much Black Ops 6 sold? not including Game Pass garbage

I am pretty sure BO7 will sell much less. but I wonder if Actvision still think COD is too big to fail against BF6

Wow, almost 10M from Windows based Xbox. And 15M including Sony based Xbox too.

15 million on Xbox alone, impressive.

As accurate as Stevie Wonder playing darts.

It's made up bullshit.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Was this not on gamepass?

Just goes to show you that Xboxers WILL still buy games as long as they are not on gamepass and ARE Battlefield 6(or 7).

Not much hope for niche games still, but Xboxers will buy gaas shooter games when forced to pay. Interesting. Helldivers 2 also did well I assume.

It's worth pointing out that Valve does not make this data available publicly(meaning, to people other that developers/publishers about their own games). And Sony/Microsoft sure as shit do not share this data with anyone outside of publishers/developers.

So take this with a massive spoonful of table salt.

Based on their reddit account, this is their methodology

When they shared it on Reddit, they got responses ranging from "this is close to what it is for my game" to "this is 25% off from what it actually is for my game". I didn't check if those accounts are legit.

But here are the posts

A website with 3 periods and a not com

It has to be. I'm not sure it's possible for this game to sell 15 million units in 3 weeks.

 

[Mr Moose]

so let's take a macro-look at GameDiscoverCo's estimates

Who? They are their own source of their estimates? Yeah, no.

And I guess that's why those private investors moved in to take EA private the month prior.

Is this alenia or whatever?

If not, the console sales gap is pretty close.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Doubt

Might as well be. I'm sure alinea is using a similar equation to come up with their made up number.

Didn't EA say it sold around 7 million in just a few days?

 

[Fake]

Nah. Don't really trust this.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Given the amount of pr Xbox suffered recently it's really good to see these Xbox copy sale numbers next one is call of duty black ops 7

 

[mckmas8808]

Didn't EA say it sold around 7 million in just a few days?

Yeah, but then to double it that fast?

 

[EDMIX]

lol nah, this sounds like cap

It's available on EA play on pc and Xbox

15 pound a month you get all ea games for the price of subscription

Yeah, this is a complete guess.
