Steam Spy is tracking good sales for MGSV. But there were a lot of bundle copies and discounts going around for that game.

Does that mean the X1 version wasn't worth the effort? No. There is a potential million seller there. We don't know digital numbers either.

360 didn't really have a significant audience for Japanese games either. Many of them sold less than 500K while a lucky few passed a million.

Final Fantasy XIII managed to sell 2 million+ on 360. But that game hit the market the 360 userbase was around 50 million. Over 5 years into the life of the 360. 

Ok but the PC version outsold the XBO and the PC version has had the least MGS games on PC. Even if it was bundled they still get money. And if MGSV sells a million copies LTD on Xbox One , for a multi million game seller, that would still be a little and when you compare it to the PS4 which will sell a few millions. If the PS4 version accounts for 69% of the sales and 23%, that's just to much of a difference, and the difference is increasing every month for PS4. And this is just US, what do you think the % difference is WW, a lot bigger, probably around 80%.Even if MGS does sell a million it gives proof to other Japanese developers that Xbox One owners don't buy them when looking at the % difference. And as I said, MGSV is hardly your typical Japanese game, it has a big western appeal compared to other Japanese games.

The 360 had a lot more Japanese games, and 500k-1 million is a lot for Japanese games in the west, the only one that sells more than that is Final Fantasy. And you can give any excuse for the salss of FFType 0 you want but it wont matter because if people on PS4 bought it, there should be no reason for XBO owners not to since your defending its sales on XBO. 


The 360 had a lot of PS2 gamers that moved to 360and remained in it throughout the generation. I would guess that a lot of sales came from them. Whether this group has emigrated to the X1 will probably determine if it can get similar sales.
