Indiana Jones is selling copies on PS5 faster than it did on Xbox/Steam.Our estimates show that just under 5 million Xbox players checked out Indiana Jones. The VAST majority of these came in via Game Pass.

There hasn't been an Uncharted game in awhile so I imagine PlayStation users are thirsty for some adventuring.

 

[Mortisfacio]

I would have never guessed the console that's sold more is selling more copies of a game. Going to have to rethink my life now. Thanks.

 

[Eastwood_333]

One has gamepass, the other doesn't.

 

[clarky]

Pretty terrible numbers either way.

 

[Skifi28]

Steam copes confirmed.

This feels like a "Well, yeah" sort of power point.

1) There are more playstations than xboxes, by a huge number.
2) Indiana Jones is available on PC via gamepass, so the need to "purchase" the through steam may be drastically reduced.

The real question is how much money is microsoft making with gamepass vs how much they are potentially losing from sales.

One has gamepass, the other doesn't.

One also has twice the install base. Nothing about this should surprise anyone.

edit: didn't realize the tweet included Steam while the thread title does not

It also includes steam with Xbox.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

No shit.
Not even taking GP into account, 1% of PS5 installbase is almost 3 times the size of 1% of Series installbase.

Also, did I read that correctly?
Only 117K copies sold after 7 days?

Ah.....was just going by the thread title. That needs to be fixed

 

[winjer]

I would not be surprise to see news that Microsoft is making more money selling games on Playstation, than on XBox.

So... Bomba?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Glad it's selling. I just assumed the Console Warriors would patrol around keeping people from buying.

 

[Goalus]

I don't see any Xbox data in the graph.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

The subscription cannibalisation is real... wow the perspicacity on this guy.

 

[roosnam1980]

todd is pleased with his lengthy tool

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm glad the game is getting sales. Should have never been a staggered release in the first place. The days of Xbox selling hardware through exclusives is over. Their hardware pitch now needs to be power and convenience.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Lol I got dogpiled by quite a few Gaffers for saying Indy would sell maybe 1-2M copies on PS5 at best.

 

[Fabieter]

One has gamepass, the other doesn't.

The tweet which was posted says the same thing so yeah we know.

 

[Horseganador]

It was clear that Indiana Jones was going to sell better on PS5 than on Xbox or PC, even MS knew it and that's why they promoted it so much.

It was on Game Pass on PC too. The game didn't look alluring enough to purchase but looked like the typical Game Pass offering.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Aww, precious.

It's that white line at the bottom

All I care about is getting a sequel, don't matter where it sells. Just please sell enough!

With only 117k copies.....

At least Concord had the excuse that nobody cared.

 

[Steve Holt]

No surprise Microsoft wanting to sell to the biggest market after all.

 

[seb85]

Stupid post

 

[yogaflame]

PS owners really buy there games.

 

[Skifi28]

Stupid post

Don't be so hard on yourself.

 

[baphomet]

So 5 million PLAYERS is equal to less than 100k sales.

 

[Nydius]

117.2K sales in a week on a platform with ~70 million units sold, for a game based on a gargantuan IP, that reviewed well with both critics and players, has won several awards and was nominated for others?

Doesn't matter how you slice it, those are abysmal numbers, almost to the point where I have a hard time believing them without disclosing all his sources.

 

[FrankWza]

Stupid post

 

[Hari Seldon]

Word of Mouth effect is big here.

 

[touchfuzzy]

100k sales in a week probably doesn't even cover the porting costs anyway and it's not like it will take off from there. Big time bomba.

Lost the war so attempting different ways to fight/survive

Personally I want exclusives to die off and this is coming from someone mainly playing on PC and the PS5 Pro

When Forza Horizon 6 launches I want all Playstation peeps playing day one, lets make a huge GAF club

 

[CrimsonTide]

numbers are awful all around if indeed this is true

ALSO, everything is an xbox. So technically a PS5 is indeed also an Xbox

 

[Topher]

"Indiana Jones has now sold over 300K copies on Steam after four months. We expect the PlayStation version to outdo that."

300k. 117k from PS.

Expedition 33 did 500k in one day.

The franchise just doesn't have the appeal they thought it did back when it was approved. Or maybe it's the direction they took. Glowing reviews aside, I can't help but feel that if the execution was more inspired by uncharted it could have been a lot more successful.
