I've seen games where there is achievements for pressing start on the title screen and that only gets unlocked by like 95% of people so 5% of people watch the publishers logo screen and turn the games off.

They see the developer logo, realize it wasn't made by the CoD guys, and dip.

This is a bit disconcerting, at least on Steam. Looking at Halo Infinite's global achievements percentages, only 8.6% of players that have ever played Infinite on Steam, have completed the Lost Contact achievement. Considering it's a story achievement for literally just completing the first mission, that tells me not many players on Steam have actually purchased the campaign.

Not really worrying.

8.6% of 10 to 20 million players are 1 - 2 million buyers of the solo campaign, so similar to the FH5 sales on Steam.

Many Halo fans are more interested in the multiplayer and will get the campaign later.

This is fascinating, where is that graph/where are those numbers from?

Depends on the game. If it has local co-op then it might just be that a 2nd player has signed in with their account mid-game.

Actually, it could be that someone accidentally signs in with a secondary account before or during any game. In many games your account name is displayed on the title screen so maybe people really only notice it there after watching the splash screens and switch their accounts before pressing start.

This helmet seems very popular for a paid cosmetic, every match I played tonight had at least 2 cat ear people.

Finally, I've been waiting for this. Sucks that it's paid, but whatever



 

Another day of massive restocks on the Series X in the UK with Amazon having it available to add to basket for delivery tomorrow and GAME also having it readily avaliable to purchase both for over a hour now some people going to be happy just in time for Christmas, I wonder if Microsoft can keep this going or if it's just a temporary holiday boost and their quota of chips goes back to low amounts in the new year.

You Americans actually getting any restocks?
