Sales - UK sales Split - View Post

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-06-27-mario-golf-super-rush-ends-ratchet-and-clanks-stay-at-the-top-uk-boxed-charts

"There are a number of new games in the charts this week. Scarlet Nexus from Bandai Namco debuts at No.8, with 58% of sales on PS5, 21% on PS4 and 20% on Xbox consoles."



Around 80% of their sales are on PS4+PS5 vs 20% on Xbox consoles.

Another game with a split where the vast majority of console sales were on playstation.
Its a pattern at this point.

Games sell much more on playstation.
(digital splits, are roughly the same for both, so you cant go "digital sales are higher on xbox")

Its people sub to gamepass, and stop buying games.

(even when games arnt yet on gamepass, they are like "we'll wait".
This has to be hurting devs revenue, from xbox platforms imo, and physical sale stores)


edit:
Supposedly this was marketed on xbox too? and the sales split still looks like this.

Bonus question, does it matter if "Xbox turns into a gameass only platform?".
How big is the effect on revenue for dev studios, and physical stores that sell xbox stuff?
