Yes its a games sale site, but you are looking far too much into it. MS hasn't signed an oath to this site, they don't even have to tell us anything. There business model is completely different to Nintendo's and Sony's. This day and age, we must start accepting it, a digital world and service especially for the Xbox brand. 1m players is still 1m players who went out of there way to play SoD2 which I would think is a great thing considering the games (Low) budget and sale price.. seems like a win for MS/Xbox. Does it matter if half those numbers were on Mobile phones, free trails, or forced bundles? It seems many on this site excuse forced bundling so might as well excuse the rest of it. Nothing is ever accurate. Just like Wii Sports for the Wii, greatest selling game of all time.. yeah okay. (I loved Wii Sports, just saying) |
It matters because it will influence if people on the fence would buy an xbox or buy the game at all. When a game publisher obscures how well their games are doing, it doesn't speak well for how good the game is. If a game has a price tag, how many people paid for it matters. If a game is part of a games as a service business model then concurrent players who pay matter.
