Yeah Xbox version would have sold as much as PC + PS5 versions combined.
(Reality: 100k max).

Can't Wait for Silent Hill f. Let's hope Ryukishi07 is still the main writer.

Indeed. But I'm a bit afraid, since they announced it back in 2022 and never gave us an update.
Ryukishi07 is one of my favorite writers. I still remember back in 2014 when I was playing Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. The best 150 hours of my gaming life.
I don't think the 3 people who owns Xbox will make a difference.
Plus, I'm thinking Sony are giving them incentives for exclusivity... like higher profit margin or something.
Dude I hope you are joking, because this is just basic math.
Let's suppose the ratio is:
500k - Ps5
500k - PC
According to vgchartz ps5 is at the moment 60.91 Millions and for Xbox is 29.88
So we have
60.91. 29.88
500k X
X = SH 2 Remake Sales on xbox.
Doing basic algebra we get that:
X = 245k
That's what Star Wars: Outlaws managed in its first month. Tired as I am of all the remakes right now, Silent Hill 2 is at least old enough and good enough to warrant one.

Xbox the saviour of all games with its tiny dead last market share and rental service LOL.
You should feel worried for STALKER 2 devs being locked on xbox for 3 months instead, Steam sales would have to carry that game hard without PS5 sales to help.

I highly recommend this game! Players of the original will arguably get more out of it because they'll clearly be able to see just how many things were modernized compared to the original to the point that you're basically experiencing this game for the first time, but that means newcomers will get nearly just as much out of it!
Unlike the Resident Evil remakes, Silent Hill 2 remake doesn't have the campiness or cheesiness that the RE remakes still retain. Don't get me wrong, I love the hell out of the RE remakes, but experiencing how serious SH2 is presented has a MUCH deeper effect on you. This game is much scarier!
And JFC, the audio design is a damn masterpiece!!! You MUST play this game with headphones on! I'm playing on PC, but I hear the PS5 version adds a lot of ambient sounds (like wind howling) from the DualSense speaker, which I can imagine only adds to the immersion.
The game is definitely in my top 5 GOTY and among my favorite remakes ever. And don't worry about it being a sequel as if you're missing out on important context from the first game. SH2 is a standalone game with standalone characters. So it's a great starting point in the series.

How? Ignoring any possible effect of gamepass affecting game sales ("I'll wait until it's on game pass" etc) - how do you propose that Xbox would match the sales?
You are bound to love Earthbound.

Let's avoid jokes like these. They come off as a bit aggressive and console war like.
There is a pretty big line between "How will this games sales look for 3 months without playstation" and mocking the insult with stuff like "only 3 people have an xbox" and "its tiny dead last market share".
