NPD: March 2022/ 1st Quarter 2022

Did MS release Deathloop sales numbers?

@x_hedon: Sony probably won’t allow it. Sony always doing scumming shat like that.

@x_hedon: lmao

I would like that too. But Xbox has been SUPER secretive about their numbers. So much so, that they combined first party software revenue with subscription and services revenue. This is a clever way of hiding the impact of Game Pass on comparable first party software revenue of the past. And Xbox fans are so happy to accept the PR releases about how successful Xbox is, they don’t ask any questions. It’s funny that NOW that PS has a more comparable service launching, Xbox fanboys are demanding their PS+ services breakdown… “Keep that same energy,” right guys?

But really, I’m not as concerned with the promo vs reoccurring sub breakdowns. That stuff should level off as the promos dry up. We kinda get an idea from the lack of info surrounding the Game Pass sub totals in 2021. We were getting damn near quarterly updates at one point, and then had to wait a year to get the 25 million number. A number that even Xbox says missed the target. 🫢

Well, I wish the cows would keep the same energy. Xbox keeps knocking it out of the park, but cows want MORE. And yet, they don't even want the console, lol.

I am also concerned about MS finances. So, concern.🤭

Start a Go Fund Me for them?

😂

i think Xbox fans are happy about the end-user experience that Xbox is providing along with the positive outlook moving forward.. good hardware options (across Series S, Series X, and PC), a great value in Game Pass, and tons of 1st party studios working on games.. exactly what "questions" should anyone be asking beyond that?.. again, are we back to being "concerned" about Microsoft's financials?.. 🤔

and it's really funny how you keep pretending PS Plus and PS Now are the same service and have always been the same service.. again, since your reading comprehension seems to come and go depending on the topic:

with zero breakdown of the 25 million Game Pass numbers, we still know there's 25 million Game Pass subscribers.. if that number goes to 40 million, we still know there's 40 million Game Pass subscribers..

with zero breakdown of the 50 million PS Plus numbers, we have almost no idea how many PS Now subscribers there are.. maybe it's still 3 million but who knows.. if that numbers goes to 65 million, we know even less about how many PS Now subscribers there are..

see the difference?.. a breakdown of Game Pass numbers would be interesting.. a breakdown of PS Plus numbers is essential to knowing anything about PS Now..

@x_hedon: FF Origins is available on Xbox. But GT7 and Ghostwire Tokyo are not... even though Ghostwire is owned by Microsoft.

Wait, what?

Xbox won because PS5 shortages. LOL.

You'll be f****** up soon, Xbox fans. Don't worry

sounds like a sore loser.

@mowgly1: I’m not concerned about Xbox fans.

Looks who is talking about being loser. Xbox, the loser console since 2001.

Lest we forget that MS is paying BILLIONS just to have a name in the industry. No one cared about Xbox like that. They have to brute force the market to get attention. Xbox has been the only console regularly available the last two quarters and the games STILL don't chart very long, or don't altogether.

It's crazy tech bro mentality. Doing anything to win over profit. Xbox and Xbros like clockwork care about sales when Xbox is ahead. Only this is an empty victory when the other platform holder is hobbled right now. 🤣

Yep, everthing about Xbox is empty. Empty sales, empty victory when others have shortages, empty games, empty and brainwashed community.

Cows be trippin’ still? Halo and Xbox rent free yo!

Damn the butthurt duo needs ointment 🤣

I like how this happens in the UK over the weekend, and we didn’t see/hear ANYTHING about it across the boards and social media…

All Nintendo with a little PS sprinkled in there… “Dead” PS games at that

This is why I said we needed to wait for the NPD before calling Horizon dead. Top 3 YTD and top 5 for March. That kinda disproves the narrative going around on this board and Twitter…

I see a lot of Nintendo and Sony made games on those lists. Where are the Xbox games??? Y’all said you’re still buying them… Wouldn’t know from the charts…

Ever heard of gamepass?

@Xplode_games: You are trying to educate willful ignorance.😂
