Microsoft CEO says sales on PlayStation and Steam were up 60% compared to MWIII
Biggest release in what sense?
Maybe I understand your question but this is in OP "Black Ops 6 set records for number of players on launch day and amount of new Game Pass subscriber in a single day Microsoft CEO says sales on PlayStation and Steam were up 60% compared to MWIII"
I can almost taste the shareholder value
Ram it together properly like everyone else.. "Blops"I'm immature. I know this. But I've stopped calling it Black Ops Six and resorted to just ramming (giggity) the words together calling it Black Cocks. Appropriate that this is being declared the biggest one yet...

And 60% increase on Playstation and Steam.So number of players only?

I don't particularly care about Microsoft (although I do like them as a brand) but I don't think that chart means what you think it means.
You can check their stock behaviour here and see that they are at their highest historic value:

Don't think it has to do with CoD but whomever is holding stock right now and thinks Microsoft is not performing well, should sell right now and make bank.
Much more anticipated game vs MW3 DLC feel to MW2What would cause sales to increase 60% on PlayStation and Steam?
Combining the two like that while disregarding sales on Battle.net makes it difficult to quantify
Dude, my reply to Ass of Can Whooping was a joke. It wasn't directed at you, relax.
So basically Sony and Steam won big here over Xbox because isn’t this game like $69 on PS5 and Steam while it’s zero for existing game pass members lol.
People could sign up to game pass for like $5-$15 beat the game or play MP for a month and cancel.
Game pass really screwed them up IMO. They should have gated the content early and not have day the day one thing so Xbox gamers would have continue to buy games full price in their ecosystem.

They get a 70% cut from every one of those PS and Steam copies sold and the largest single day increase in GP subscribers.
I don't think they'd be seeing this as a loss at MS right now.
Yeah, reminded me about Starfield reporting a lot.Sure but they said the same thing when Starfield released and we know that didn't do much. One of the biggest issues GP has is people signing up and then dropping it.

Is this the 5 minute timeframe chart for dramatic effect?
Very cringe considering.Congratulations team Xbox.
Another fantastic first party release.
Jesus. You're sad as fuck. Imagine pretending xbox had anything to do with this.Congratulations team Xbox.

I do believe that's the plan here. Effectively, purchases on PlayStation and Steam are subsiding Game Pass for Xbox owners. However, if every PlayStation and Steam player became a Game Pass subscriber, the amount of money Microsoft could generate each month would be astronomical. That won't happen, obviously, so I would expect Microsoft's practical plan is for the value difference between their platforms to create a conversion engine that drives PlayStation and Steam players to subscribe to Game Pass. Once in the ecosystem, the extensive back catalogue and AAA hits keeps them paying. Come for COD, stay for Xbox. Is it a solid plan? I have no idea - but it's undeniably bold.So Steam and PlayStation pay for the MS players?
That's fine for now but if more people switch to MS then eventually it would collapse like a pyramid scheme.

Thanks to PlayStation, Steam, and PC.

I'm sure Blops 6 sales are fire because this time CoD is truly great, but I doubt that it will move a needlie for gamepass after the inital 14 days/1 month subs spike will expire.
Starfield was also a single player only game, so much more likely to be beaten in a month by most people then move on unlike COD which most people continue playing for multiplayer,
Time will tell on whether it has a longer-term GP gain I guess.
This is where people are off. The big money comes from the Blackcell’s and cosmetics sales. Those micro transactions are a license to print money. Gamepass does not include any of that and I suspect the attach rate of the blackcell passes is very high based on what I see in the last two COD’s.So basically Sony and Steam won big here over Xbox because isn’t this game like $69 on PS5 and Steam while it’s zero for existing game pass members lol.

I dunno, for online game it's especially cheaper to pay $70 upfront than to shill $20 a month regardless of a platform. Another hot take is that SP games are more suited for GP model in general, not premium MP titles.Single player game vs live service game that’s typically played for months…until the next one releases.
Not exactly an apt comparison
Much more anticipated game vs MW3 DLC feel to MW2
I agree its the best COD we have had in awhileYep, wouldn't be possible if the game wasn't a genuine improvement over the last couple of entries.
A much superior SP campaign, refined MP and Zombies. A legitimately big improvement YoY.
