Pretty good numbers for sea of thieves. I'd be curious to know how many sales were lost due to game pass.
Also glad to see a way out getting some decent sales. Hopefully both games have some good legs

Supposedly it had about 2m players in the first month?
And we heard that "more" than half of that, was from Free Trail's of Gamepass.
Throw in the non free trail Gamepass users as well and.... yeah that number is probably gonna be alot less.

Just a "guess" by me, but say 35%? of those 2m players within the first month, are actual game buy's.

I feel that is a pretty good guess. Most companies now a days are saying digital takes up 50% of sales roughly, so depending on how accurate vgchartz is for retail copies we will say this game sold about 400-450k FW. That's still fairly solid numbers, though not amazing by any means. I'd be curious to know if exclusives sell more digitally than third party though since PlayStation/Xbox would obviously promote there first party titles more on the actual systems
