In one month Marvel Rivals made is estimated at 100M+. 54.M on Steam alone.

One thing to keep in mind, if a lot of population for the game is coming from China, is that console user base there is pretty small as compared to to PC.Well if this was the split for every game then PC is way more dominant than everyone thought. It's making more money on Netease servers in China alone than Ps + Xbox combined.
Of course, these are all estimates anyway so grain of salt. Anecdotally a ton of my Steam friends list which is mostly irl friends and FGC bros are playing this.
You can see that kind of a sales pattern with Wukong.

That's because for a long time game consoles are "technically" illegal in China. People still play them, it's just never officially made legal until 2014. So only 10 years of history of console gaming of the official legal sort.

If these are accurate numbers. Steam is dominating all platforms. Xbox is basically dead.

Xbox players probably turned it off when they saw a female ass. Only Master Cheeks is allowed.

Game is literally mediocre. Plays like a f2p mobile game. This is targeting the Fortnite crowd, and super hero nerds
Also funny everyone bashing Xbox numbers, but it's a f2p game…. So now microtransactions are good? Xbox fan base not foolish enough to buy a marvel skin

I had to go watch some videos of the game because it's the thing rn. I thought the gameplay looked great from what I saw. I don't even play that kind of game.
If they just gave everyone guns, this would not be as successful.
If you tell a kid about a game where "all" of the marvels characters go at it, they're in on the concept. They have probably dreamed it up with their friends already. I can see how this game could live up to that.
The characters do the things they're supposed to do, and they do them a lot. There's a lot of projectiles but there's a lot of other stuff, too. One of the first things I saw was a clip of wolverine and he was just going in on a gunfight with his claws lol. He's out here doing his mvc2 moves. So in 30 seconds my eyebrows are raising.
Remember when everyone was saying '*feel* like Spider-Man'? God that was annoying.
This game looks like you can *feel* like whatever character you want. Looks like they nailed that. When I saw storm on screen for the first time I thought "you know what that means" and then she goes on and does exactly what she's supposed to do.
As for the design, the characters look great. Not a fan of that style myself but overwatch is one of the best and this is on par. The source material for all of them is obviously good, so they have most the job done and done well. The personalities come out right.
Gotta say, seems like a winner. I might even try it.

What's funny to me is that for as much as people claim that F2P GaaS and the people who spend money on them are cancer some folks sure are dragging Xbox for gamers there not giving into the MTX buying spree at the same rate as PC and PS5 gamers. I thought spending less money on GaaS was good, but apparently it's not.

If you refuse to pay for anything, you have no say in the market and on what gets made. Your money determine if your favourite franchise lives or not.
In the case of Xbox, the entire console died.

All those figures are just a guess? Where did you find that?

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
It's in their methodology. In fact I think they guestimated Steam from user numbers and past games then just guessed PS5 as half of that and then Xbox 1/10th of that.

Bought bo6 cause of coworkers. 1st multiplayer in years.
At the end of season 0 I finally tried rivals. Alot life overwatch which is probably the last multi I played before bo6.
Definitely getting the sue storm alt costume. Nom nom nom. Plus she's a good character.

The returns from selling at such puny numbers won't be enough to recoup the cost of porting to Xbox. No wonder Game Science put Xbox on ignore for Wukong.

They also didn't want to try and make Wukong run on a Series S when it barely runs on a base PS5

The way they estimated the Xbox revenue figure is embarrassing. They went on Marvel Rivals' PSN US store page and looked at the number of reviews (64k) and then Marvel Rivals' US Xbox store page and looked at the number of reviews (~6k). Because the PSN US page has about 10x the number of reviews than the Xbox page, they just did 27million/10 = 2.7 million.
Never mind that this not a great way to conduct such an estimate, but they also disregarded the fact that Xbox reviews are compartmentalized by regions while PSN does not and shows reviews from all regions of the world no matter your region; so really they were basing their estimate based on the number of reviews on the PS store (worldwide) vs Xbox (US) and couldn't even be bothered to check if their methodology made any sense.
It's written right there in the second image, but too many people just lap that number up without even thinking critically for a second because ''Haha Xbox bad''.

LOL, in the comics, Namor is a total tool and creep (and a cousin fucker, no kidding, his late wife was stated to be his cousin) who tries pathetically to be a homewrecker through kidnapping and threats. Even Steve Rogers once said if word got out that Namor was taken prisoner, he and most of the Avengers would be like:
So it's fitting in this game that if a Sue K.O.'s a Namor, she says, "you have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that."
Glad they dropped that angle for the MCU version of Namor whose obsession is entirely focused on protecting his own nation no matter what he has to do to achieve that.
I have heard writer Jason Aaron is improving him in the comics, having him go ever further off the deep end but just results in him failing pathetically, and now he's an exile from his people who are done with his bullshit and he has to actually legit work with the Avengers now instead of being a backstabbing asshole.

Xbox users too busy playing great games like STALKER 2 and INDIANA JONES, while anticipating the release of exclusive Obsidian RPG, Avowed.
Game Pass freebies* like Call of Duty also keeping XBOX gamers satisfied

Publishers must be starting to wonder if releasing their games on Xbox even makes any sense at this point...

Zdarsky's Invaders comic tried to explain that Namors sometimes irrational way of behaving is some kind of dementia induced by being away from water for too long.

I'm tired of almost everything Marvel and have been for a long time, that aside, is this game at all worth checking out?
