Lmaooo, this dudepasterpl really said that Sea of Thieves retaining 20% of its 69k max ccu is better than Helldivers 2 retaining ~12% of its 458k ccu 11 months after release. This reminds me of when Xthots say shit like "God of War *only* sold 25 million, that's 1/5th the total PS4 install base, that's really not that impressive" Remind me which was the last Xbox game that surpassed 5 million in sales? Was it Halo 3 or some shit? In 2007?
They try to downplay PS first party sales by making it seem like PS players only play COD/ FIFA/ NBA or whatever, but I seriously doubt any of those games sold what GOW did in any given year, and even if they did, that's got nothing to do with the abysmal state of Xbox. Clown shit.
Behavior
Halo 5 sold 5 million in its first three months of release. No clue what the final total was.
Then their minions shouldn't bring up sales numbers or Steam ccu numbers in arguments, since they use Game Pass as a cover for both.
Is that confirmed? That's a good reason to return a bit sooner. Lol
Kinect AdventuresLmaooo, this dude
Xbox is not worth it.
What does not worth it mean? Sony made an Until Dawn Remaster, i bet Helldivers could make more money than that.
It’s all just Microsoft employees swayed by PhilYeah, almost 30m non-existing people
It's already dead, but still 30 million Xboxs out there who can spend some money. I think they could sell a couple of 100k copies + a Game Pass deal in the future.
Potential PS buyers, since Xbox is headed to the exit.
It makes absolutely sense, because Xbox is no longer competition. Sony loves easy money, this is easy money. But let's not overdiscuss it. You say no, i say yes.
With Xbox dying, their userbase will be moving onto a different platform.
The person who started this rumour, Special Nick is now saying it's been cancelled.
Why would existing Xbox owners sell their Xbox and get a PS5? There is no reason and the casuals don't even know about console sales. All the important games are still coming to Xbox and as long as it stays this way, they won't move.
Wasn't there data that showed a significant portion of the PS5 userbase was completely new to Playstation, which falls in line with a steady decrease of the Xbox installbase compared to last-gen?
I didn't say anything about people selling their Xbox.
No, casuals are ignoring Xbox lately, as word on the street says Xbox is dead and all their games will be coming to Playstation anyway.
Again, Sony wants people on Playstation consoles and Xbox dying is pushing people away.
I still don't get how porting an old game to a dead platform would stop people on that platform from buying a PS5. I don't see any disadvantage for Sony whatsoever. But the game day1 on pc on the other hand probably cost them some console sales.
It's about incentive, dude.
Sure, but the economy is terrible as well.
We are still talking about a then 1 year or older game with a then >90% player decline. This wouldn't have any impact on PS5 sales, that's no rocketscience. either.
Sure, those poeple didn't get a PS5 on Helldiver's release and waited a year to get a PS5 to play the still full priced game with 10% of the player left.Unless it helps get people to buy a PS5 alongside their Xbox.
And Xbox doesn't get HD2 after a year with 10% of the players left.
Legendary Phil and his legionsIt’s all just Microsoft employees swayed by Phil
So from the initial players only 0.84% are playing. Imagine thread about any other game titles game XYZ lost more than 99% of their player base 8 months after launch, how would you cal, it? It is nowhere to be found it top ten played charts on PlayStation, Steam seams the only one holding the fort.
According to SteamDB, HD2 currently has about 17K CCU on Steam.
I am sure that Sony and Arrowhead are very happy how the game did, especially after achieving 12mln sales after 3 months and becoming the best selling Sony game this gen (I mentioned that multiple times), so I am sure what you are suggesting. I never said that HD2 was unsuccessful (it is probably one of the most financially successful games they have ever done within this first 3 months), but as I said, proven by numbers, is the fact that huge part of that initial player base is not longer there. So no, my point still stands. GaaS game is SP where you relay on huge sales in initial period to generate positive ROI, GaaS game objective is to become “evergreen” money printing machine without frequent major overhauls.
Then you didn't listen to Ryan when he discussed their Gaas strategy and he stated that Sony's criteria for a success isn't a binary one.
Uh....35 or so million Xbox users. I think Sony would like a few million more users don't you think?
Define Xbox users.
Anyone playing a game anywhere on anything.
not if they don't pay. And if they're not paying for COD what makes you think they want to pay for helldivers?
