With the 10 free hours with EA access, I'm surprised the Xbox One version wasn't on top.


Why? A good amount of members got their fill before the game even came out.

That's lower than I expected, and Xbone number is closer to PS4 number than I expected.


Exactly! Especially when you consider the.much larger ps4 user base and the fact that many XboxOne players also have Halo 5 to play. Sales for the ps4 version should be obliterating the Xbox One version and not be this close. Quite disappointing really.

Lol dat exaggeration.

Also, it's called EA Access, and XBO owners are more prone to play shooters than PS4.

Just how long do you intend to downplay everything in PS4 threads?

Until Xb one wins of course, which means forever.

Those low numbers are good. That means the young generation of gamers are expanding their taste in gaming.

It's no longer shooters all the time.


These numbers when looked at alone merely imply one of two things 

 

A) Battlefront 3 underperformed sales wise.

B) Battlefront 3 is having a tough time retaining its user base.

 

However, when you look at the sales of other first and third person military type shooters there does appear to be an overall decline in sales. So where are those sales going? This is the gen of the RPG.

 

Fallout 4 just destroyed its predecessors launch sales. It will undoubtedly surpass them lifetime.

The Witcher 3 just destroyed its predecessors launch sales. 

 

Dragon Age Inquisition was met with critical acclaim this gen.

A 'niche' RPG known as Bloodeborne was met with critical and commercial success.

 

So looking at the bigger picture, you're probably right

God Frikken damn I hope you're right!

Actually not an exaggeration at all when you consider that the game was exclusively advertised for the PS4 and that as the post above me points out, EA access members have had some time to get their fill out of this opportunity.  And the old xbox have more shooters argument is becoming redundant - just look at destiny.. In all honesty the game should have perfomed significantly better on PS4 (based at least on the stats presented on this thread).  Again, Given that many xbox owners have already been treated to the highly anticipated halo 5 shooter, the xbox gamers propensity to have engagement stats nearly as high as PS4 for this game (for Battlefront) is somewhat dissapointing for Playstation which should have completely eclipised the xbox version, - especially considering there is no halo type exlusive for playstation this holiday period. Think about it for a bit yeah....

Look at Destiny? You're basically proving my point, it sold quite a lot on Xbox One and even that was advertised by Sony. PS4 owners are playing more of Fallout 4 than Xbox One, probably by a lot. 

I remember seeing those hardcore Xbox fans on twitter and when CoD came out no one was playing Halo 5 anymore, people have moved on from Halo so you can't really use that.

No, ALL multiplatform games sell more on PS4 than XBO. Doesn't matter what excuse you give.

I really hope this is a gen of RPGs. There weren't enough last gen to my liking.

I've had Battlefront since launch, I've not bothered playing it until 1am yesterday where I played for an hour or so. Not having an sp made me lose all interest in the game.

I wonder how many other people are there who bought the bundle for the console and just have the game sitting around doing nothing.
