Wow so we finally have the full data.

2020: PS 82%:18% XB

2021: PS 83%:17% XB

Literally says sold at retail. Stop trying so hard.

With the data we have now people have nothing to argue about, "gamepass hurts sales" or, "Xbox gamers don't buy games".
Goes to show you cannot look at just physical charts anymore.

With the data of how many games?



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

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.

And that's only so far... During launch week. I'm going to play it to near the end and then think about getting the expansion pass while hoping for some sort of holiday or black Friday type sale.

I'm more interested in what third parties are getting out of GP. Does anyone know how it works? How much are they compensated for giving their games out for free, basically? Is it profitable enough for them in the long run? Is it profitable enough for Microsoft in the long run?

The negotiations and contracts are different for every game, but I don't think any developer or publisher would accept the deal without reaching a number that pleases them.

This means that ps5 is 1.9m and xbs is 0.4m. Roughly something like 5 to 1. Even if half of the UK xbs are series s, and even taking into account the difference in digital ratio , would it spread to 5 to 1?

I would be interested to see UK hardware numbers on VGC if they have them. VGC shows ps5 and xbs as 2 to 1 across Europe.

Oh and we already got digital sales ratio UK 2020:

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%."

61:39

At 66:33 (avg digital rate in 2020), overall that puts PS:XB:

69:31.

70% of all game sales in the UK = 70-80%+ all of game sales WW = absolute domination. Not even Steam or the Apple app store has such a marketshare on third party transactions.

Did I say it didn't. Learn to read.
