Why are there quotation marks in between bought?

Im not sure... but yeah over 300k+ have bought this at full price.

Still thats alot of money, rare & MS are probably pretty happy with it.
Assumeing like ~1.4m unique gamepass buys (300k are shareing the game, ect).

1.4m x 9.99$ + 300k+ x 60$ =  lots of money.

You forget that the 300k (according to VGC, so SALT is needed) are retail sales If I am not mistaken.

300k retail ($60)
200k digitally ($60)
1 million game pass ($10)
150k Win10 PC ($50)

Rest = Account sharing.

Might this be reasonable?

 

Anyway: Sea of Thieves really did its job. It pushed GamePass sales big time.
