| Norion said: 2023 was not down from 2022 by 30%, it was less than 15% down actually and the lying going on is saying that someone is ignoring a trend when in fact their expectations are right in line with it. And again, Starfield had weak reception so you're exaggerating the positive impact it had on Xbox Series sales last year. The tweet I posted clearly shows that CF 25 is undeniably boosting sales right now so there's no argument to be had over that part, it's either accepting reality or denying it. Never mind the fact that January being the best month of this year so far for the Xbox Series indicates that Palworld probably gave it a boost that month. Also the COD on Game Pass part isn't gonna turn things around or anything like that but that's not the argument I'm making, I'm saying it'll help it sell better this holiday season which is a given really. |
I'm not saying that 2023 was 30% down from 2022. I'm saying that -30% YoY is the trend without internal or external factors and what to be expected by default.
Q1 2023 = -30%
Q2 2023 = -13%
Q3 2023 = -7% (Starfield)
Q4 2023 = +3% (offset by the massive discounts)
Q1 2024 = -31% (guidance calculated = -40%)
Q2 2024 = -33% (guidance calculated by Welfare)
Next earnings call is 10 days away anyway. I'm done until then.
