declines from 3rd party titles, which is logical : gamepass

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Wasnt B4B on gamepass?
Either way I stand by what Ive said earlier. GP is likely affecting software sales.

GP is likely the main reason but Id say the Bethesda acquisition as well. All those sales would now be considered first party, or are gone completely since they are on GP.

Well yes. That's what everyone is saying. Its only logical. But some here bought into the PR spin that third party sells more after being on gamepass.

Definetly.

LMAO so much for Gamepass does not tank software sales.

Btw the idea Xbox has a far bigger digital ratio than Playstation and so physical sales don't matter has been DEBUNKED a while ago.

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-01-08-43-million-games-sold-in-the-uk-in-2020-uk-annual-report

"If we purely look at digital sales, PS4 had a 41% market share, ahead of Xbox One's 26%."

That's 62% skew for PS4 in digital only, very similar to the physical skews.

People just choose to ignore reality.

62% of sales is in line with the consoles total sales split.

And its fairly obvious GP would affect sales.
There is a hugr catalog of games to choose from monthly. Not sure I would buy many games if I had GP.
Microsoft wont mind the lowered software sales as long as the revenue from GP remained high
