Indiana Jones is selling more on PS5 than Xbox/Steam

The more users of a particular paltform, the more fanboys of it you will be seeing. It's no wonder that xbox fanboys went the way of the dinosaurs, minus those that evolved into birds.
Thanks for confirming what I said. Maybe if these idiot fanboys spent less time online, they'd actually buy and play more games

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
I think it's an age thing. As I've gotten older I don't care if game's are exclusive or not.
I understand the business side of an exclusive, but it doesn't matter to me if pc or xboys can play some playstation games.
I honestly couldn't care less
 
I'd expect pretty much all xbox games to be multiplatform day one going forward after this latest disaster. Its the only move they have left.

The problem is that a lot of people have a hard time distinguishing between business perspective and a gamer's/personal perspective.
 
As I've said in other threads about Microsoft's long term plan, they're going to be just fine going fully third party and selling to the bigger user bases on PC, PS5 and Switch 2.
 
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.
Indiana Jones had a trash movie recently and another trash one semi-recently but closer to being long ago. It just isn't a strong franchise. The good ones are 40 years old!

Oh i agree with that. Like I say I do understand the business behind them. I just personally don't care anymore.
I do think though that Microsoft are ahead of the times( not by design mind you, but out of necessity by being destroyed ) and that due to the shear cost of making games now, that more Sony games will be going to other platforms in the future.
 
Will any one buy Half Life 3 from Epic games store?

Thats the phenomenon happening here.

Everyone prefers to play Xbox games via gamepass.

There are some PS only players that are able to buy it now. But they are insignificant. Compared to 5 million that were served via gamepass.
 
Really curious to see if someone else will step into the console business with the Xbox brand in this situation, but I wonder if it's just too late in the game for anyone to make a high end console that can compete with the Playstation. You wouldn't just be competing with the PS5 or PS6, your competing against the legacy of Playstation. Feels like Xbox is a publisher moving forward with a console they're keeping afloat, but while I think it's fair to say that Xbox consoles sell to an extent and have supporters, I don't know if MS views the performance of those consoles as successful and I don't know how long this strategy of continuing to make Xbox consoles while releasing all of their games on the competing system as well will go on for.

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.

The answer to this question is also obvious.

They are raking in billions. Thats why they put their games on competing hardware, duh?
 
Sad to see it underperforming. Best game I've played in last few years. I really hope all Dishonored (or immersive sims in genreal) fans pick this up. I need more of this, can't wait for the DLC.
 
They really need to launch these games on day one on PS5. I bet they'd sell even more.

Anyway, abysmal numbers for such a good game. I hope Game Pass is making enough money to justify it all.

Between marketing cost, development cost (hardware and software), and maintenance cost there are only a few companies that could bankroll it. We are talking billions and billions of dollars. Even mitigating those factors there are a lot of looming unknowns out there. There is a big push in the EU's DMA to allow alternative app stores and payment systems, which directly threatens their 30% commission models, if that chip falls, look for it to happens elsewhere. Cloud gaming will most likely eventually become mainstream, its just a matter of when. Now is not the optimal time to enter the console market.

I guess maybe it is an age thing as I recently turned 58 so maybe I too just don't care about the smaller things in life

I know many do, had people on these forums say they can enjoy a game more when they know no one else outside of their platform can play it

I don't understand that but its out there
 
Maybe by now, but the only official numbers are 1+M back in august, 4 months after release:

Still, 2M sales after a year isn't "taking off".

Xbox output doesn't have much pull outside of the Xbox eco-system.

Maybe Forza will do better at least.

Sea of Thieves sold around 10 million copies on Steam alone.

Does this mean you're counting Steam as part of the 'xbox ecosystem' ?
 
Something something Game Pass... Those who play mainly on Xbox and PC will prefer Game Pass, those that play mainly on PS5 and don't give a shit about other platforms will have no choice than to buy it
 
I strongly, STRONGLY disliked this game, and uninstalled it very shortly after it dropped into Game Pass. Got a few achievements and couldn't bring myself to suffer through more of it. Maybe it gets better later, but I'll never know. I'll also echo the sentiments of some others, Indy simply isn't a strong franchise. That's not to say it isn't a good franchise, personally I get the appeal, but

The good ones are 40 years old!
imo this is the biggest reason the game didn't light the world on fire. Way too much negative buzz around the IP due to the most recent movie releases.

That's a bad outlook to have. But I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting a console to maintain a level of exclusives and exclusivity. The speculation was that going day and date would be a failure and it proved to be. A company backed by some deep pockets tried and failed. Just keep selling your 100 million consoles and high profit accessories in an ecosystem.
 
Not being a truly great game is yet even a bigger factor
Its kind of the same factor, thats why you would release day and date so you can ride the hype instead of having to sell in an environment where user reviews have more weight than influencers (oops sorry reviewers...).

Been saying since the whole 3rd party thing kicked off delayed exclusivity is a mistake, the only reason you would push it is to sell consoles, except they aren't really trying to do that so why risk much more valuable sales on games? I think at most they could probably get away with 2 weeks delay and still be in the marketing window.
 
Day and date is a big factor, me thinks.
Yup, Oblivion and Expedition 33 are also multi platform.

Something that's getting overlooked when looking at how great those games are doing.

It shouldn't be shocking that both of those games might sell alot more on PC and PS5. If some ppl still don't understand there are cons to Game Pass on the pros n cons list, I don't know what to say.

It's simply human nature to get tribal.
I think most normal people grow out of it.

sony fans like woke games, not surprised.
Nothing woke about this game.

There's a lesbian character in one of the main hubs, but that character and her relationship (mentioned like a couple of times in the full game) is the FULL extent of it.

We are talking countless text files, characters, a million lines of dialogue.. all pure in nature, driven by artistic intents instead of agendas. And we're surrounded by actual fascists and nazi, it would have been soooo insanely easy.. and yet this game actually respects the player's brain.
Felt so fucking refreshing, especially compared to many games apparently not "woke" on the surface but then plagued by all sort of full blown propaganda in its side content, these are the fucking worst and are everywhere these days.
But Great Circle is about as woke as Raiders of the Lost Ark is; all Gina does Marion did before. As woke as any of the LucasArts old games.
 
We already knew that Playstation fans have bad taste, not a big surprise :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Seriously though, for at least Xbox it's easy to chop it up to PS having far more consoles on the market. For pc I think you have to assume, that either PC players have different tastes, or are PC gamers more careful on what they spend money on at full price. Put it at $5 on steam, and a pc player will buy anything even if they have 0 interest in playing it. But $70, suddenly they are far more cautious then console players imo.
 
No surprise there. Ps5 owners actually support buying games. Gamepass has cannibalized game sales for Xbox to the point of no return. What a time to be alive where PS gamers are helping to support Xbox franchises.
 
I don't believe Indiana Jones is a gargantuan IP anymore. In fact I think there is a case to be made that Indiana Jones is now so uncool and irrelevant as a franchise that the branding may even have had a negative impact on how well this game did.
