Not shocking. Gamepass was obviously going to cut into PC and Xbox sales. Still cannot believe that anyone took that “Gamepass increases sales” bullshit seriously ever.
Now it’s just a question of if however many new subscriptions there were will stick, or if Microsoft has just provided a discount where the game lasts a month or 2. If Starfield is any indication, it’ll be the latter.

According to the NintendoBase Forum, the total number of COD BO6 games sold in the UK is 450k, with about 315k been the PS5 version.

I mean, do we have any numbers about its Gamepass performance?.
All we know is the game "set a record for new Game Pass subscriber additions on launch day".
Let's say the previous record was 1 million in a single day... what's the new record? 10 million? 1.1 million?
I guess we will have to wait a few weeks until more information comes out, but if we don't hear MS themselves give an update on GP subscribers numbers I don't think they got the result they were expecting.

Why are the numbers different from Install Base?

Any thoughts about the initial numbers we're getting. Your insight is greatly valued.

It's due to this tweet from ERALTD, which provided us with the actual unit sales for BO6 in the UK. I guess Astral_lion02 on Install Base has adjusted his unit sales estimates based on this new data and the percentages provided by Cris Dring on his podcast. The link in the OP now points to this new, more accurate data anyway.
A mod should update both the outdated information in the OP and the thread title to reflect this change.
Edit: Looks like they've changed it.

So, you’re saying these results are bad?

This is the biggest market for Xbox outside of US. Also, per MS own guidance, they are expecting Xbox revenues to stay flat during the CoD release quarter. Now I can see why.

From 833k in 2 years ago to 450k now even with PS5 numbers being up that's a big drop in sales

Yeah, that's a steep drop, no doubt.
This could be more of a waning interest in COD vs just a reduction in Xbox sales. Or perhaps it's both, but I'm thinking that Microsoft expected at least some sort of drop, particularly if it meant Game Pass saw and maintained an uptick.

Magical maths.
‘Just over a tenner’ = £14.99
£70 = 8 x ‘Just over a tenner’ = £119.92
Creative!

I mean, many of us have been saying this for many years now. Gamepass is not what gaming needs! When will people wake up to this?

Aww, just look at the biggest deal in gaming history clinging to Sony's fat spicy tit.
If this trend continues, their ten-year agreement may no longer be viable

Funny I never get any apologies for all the attacks I received any time I tried to give people a heads up on this stuff.
Opinion - Game Pass is hurting day one software sales on Xbox could this push publishers & devs away from Xbox Scarlett or will they wait it out?
Right now Game Pass is hurting software sales on Xbox but if Microsoft is successful in creating the Netflix of gaming it could benefit games in the post physical media era when people are not willing to pay $60 for a download.

That is Installbase. That poster just has a weird pet name for it (basically an equivalent of the "SonyGAF" nonsense.)

Who said they got more subscribers for their rental service anyway? And yes, no one really believed lying Phil when he said that gamepass generates more sales, but this is the bullshit gamepass disciples have been spewing since fat Phil 1st said it.
45k the numbers been updated*Inhales a deep breath and releases*
It feels so good to laugh at Microsoft again.
I wish we could laugh at Microsoft forever.
37k though!
It's about to be some layoffs after this one.

I put just over a tenner as I couldn't remember how much PC gamepass cost, turns out it's a tenner so my bad.
Xbox sales were always going to be down anyway, but for the sake of your crying, lets add "lets hope new xbox subscribers also stay subbed for 4 months."
Both cases extremely unlikely.

As discussed in another thread, the real loss of sales is measured by the people that already had gamepass and normally would purchase the game every year. These people will be a complete loss of a sale now. I highly doubt anyone that only plays cod all year will sub to gamepass, as it would literally make it more expensive than just buying the game full price.
Hey, if they reach a new milestone of subs I'm sure some marketing mouthbreather at Microsoft (i.e. Greenberg) will come out and say something...

And I'm sure you remember what I said very well, but, like that occasion and very typical of you, now you continúe to insist on distorting what I said... Nothing new
.PS. I repeat, phisycal sales data in general are irrelevant and, for a long time, is necessary to have complete data before drawing conclusions, whether for COD or for any type of launch.
A totally innocent comment that you ridiculously insist on distorting and that makes clear what type of uset you are here.

Funny that anyone thought cod would significantly increase gamepass subscriptions numbers when the games audience are the exact type of people that don't even know gamepass exists.
