No, Game Pass is not counted. Revenue includes physical and digital XB1 sales and digital PC sales. Aquamarine said that the amount of SOD2 PC sales were pretty substantial.

How she would know the PC sales? MS count all the Xbox and Windows sales together since it's the same store across XBO and W10.

She has access to NPD data IIRC and I would assume NPD has the platform splits. Just because the store is the same across XB1 and PC, it doesn’t mean Microsoft doesn’t know where each purchase originates from.

which means it could have sold around 400k in a month. Nothing exceptional.

According to Matt MS does not seperate their digital sales.

In a world where Fortnite is the number one game on the planet, I no longer put value in sales. They mean nothing to me lol.



Man people keep under estimating the zombie genre. But it keeps on selling and if it's marketed right it has its crowd regardless of meta score.

Dying light sold 5 million, so did Dead island. Dead rising 3 sold 2.1 million. All these games had an average Meta score at best. But they sell. They just have to be fun.

I know this is off topic, but I think Days Gone can be huge is its marketed right and gets an 80+ meta.

Even more impressive is the chart is by revenue and this game is only $30
