Quantum Break biggest-selling Microsoft Game Studios new IP this generation for Xbox One

It sold 25k physical copies in light of this, I have no doubt that this is one of the very few or only games which very likely sold more digitally than physically.

If this was just a standard release then physical numbers would be a good metric for sales, but in light of the above it's not, unless the digital numbers can be brought to light the physical numbers have absolutely no point of reference, the digital incentive was much too high and no doubt largely swayed purchasing decisions towards it.

This means absolutely nothing without numbers to back up your claim.

It sold 25k in UK based on the numbers we have, and that's a flop.

Yes, let's just imagine like the above factors and digital sales don't exist, get out.

Physical sales for this games launch are a terrible metric for judging how much it actually sold.

Are you saying this game sold ten times more in digital than retail because that's the only way this would't be a flop.

You're a clown lol.

There's no way of knowing, we have to wait until numbers from all sides are accounted for, it could be months, but until then any early sales data for this game is rendered largely incomplete.

There's a way of knowing, it's called looking at the charts, and based on the charts it's a flop. Anyone without lemming blinders can see this lol.

25K in sales in the UK is abysmal whether you like it or not. Digital sales don't make up for 900% of any major retail game's sales. It never has this gen and it never will.

Has any game had digital incentives of this magnitude? That's a resounding no, I can't think of any that have come even close.

So lock that "it's never happened before" shit up because it doesn't apply here.

I gotta give it to you, you are relentless lol.

Keep that dream alive, it won't stop the rest of us from laughing at you though.

I can't wait for your inevitable meltdown in upcoming NPD threads when its shown that it flopped here in the US as well.

Of course I'm relentless, logic doesn't stop because it's opposed by idiocy.

If you have A. car dealer on one side of the street offering you one car for $60,000, and B. dealer across the street offering the same car, plus another, and two other cars valued at $20,000 and $10,000 all for your initial $60,000, what car dealer are you going to buy from?

The one offering you a car for $60,000, or the other offering you $150,000 worth of cars for $60k?

Use your fucking brain kid.

Sorry bud, but you have nothing to do with logic. You've proved this time and time again.

Where is the lack of logic here, point it out.

Wow, this is comedy gold!

Sound analogies to prove a point, hilarious.

Your analogy is one of the most idiotic I've seen, and that's saying something considering this is SW.

Jesus, do you actually believe the bullshit you type?

Saying something is idiotic doesn't make it so, you actually have to provide some kind of refuting statement, that of which you've done in zero capacity.

You're unintelligent and incapable of rationally breaking down logical arguments so you shit post.

Hell cow alt #832134

Yea, I think we should be feeling sorry for him and probably not laughing at him. The guy really needs help.

yeah...that's a bad analogy.

It's absolutely not, it conveys the point exactly.

Provide explanations or be quiet, it's that simple.

• Quantum Break (physical pre-order) $60 value
• Quantum Break (digital pre-order) $150 value

Lol, obviously not the same person, but DC sounds a lot like tigersuperman at times. And that's no compliment.

Well essentially OP was destroyed with MS's own employee tweet. If you think of it that way, it sure is ironic. I'm sure MS was grasping at straws to get sales, but its sad they tried to deceive customers for their own corporate greed.

If you give it any thought it's a rather dumb analogy

Again, no explanation, your devil's advocate shitck has runs its course.

Well if you actually took a bit of time to think things over we wouldn't be in this situation. We wouldn't have this thread or your terrible analogy

Again, nothing.

and the entire Alan Wake franchise is on sale for $40 on Steam. Is it really $50 more an Xbox?

I bought retail myself, those incentives did not mean much to me because I already owned the AW games, but I'd still get retail as to me it is a better value than DD>

Xbox One version of Quantum Break $60, PC version of Quantum Break $60, Alan Wake + Signal/Writer $20, Alan Wake's American Nightmare $10, total value = $150

Well for starters, pretty much everyone would think something shady is going on if someone is trying to sell you 4 cars for the price of one. Also, someone interested in getting a single car, probably doesn't want to deal with 4 fucking cars all of a sudden. And then I'm sure there would be some significant tax issues. Also, comparing cars to videogames is dumb

Those are illogical interjections and the result of over-thinking an analogy as something literal, you're stupid.

You asked what dealership someone would go to, those are all reasonable considerations when answering that question

...or just see my last point that comparing cars to video games is dumb

The analogy works fine, again, you're trying to make literal comparisons to figurative examples, get lost freshman.

it obviously doesn't work fine, those points applied to the question you were asking. And it's flawed regardless because you're making assumptions about the value to people. Yeah that may be the MSRP of those items, but that may not be what they actually end up being worth. For example, if someone is an X1 gamer and they can already get the physical copy for 20% off, what the **** do they care about the PC copy with the $60 digital version. Also, people view the worth of digital and physical goods differently. It's a flawed comparison, no matter how many insults you try to deflect with

Xbone has no games so is it any wonder it sold well

@blessedbyhorus: No it didn't. Spencer took full responsibility for that deal and he bought it to compete against Uncharted.

Even more annoying was how he tried to pretend it was a real exclusive and was never coming to PlayStation. He is as shady as any other suit.

@dynamitecop: And next time they say something misleading you will swallow down again without question just like you always do.

Single player only games with low replay value do not have high digital attach rates. This guy is claiming QB has higher digital tie ins than games like Destiny and The Division. Quantum Break is the type of game you play once or twice then sell or trade. There is a good reason Remedy is considering adding multiplayer to their future games.

He's a paid shill. I'm surprised no one has realized he's Mooch by now.

You forgot to mention that car dealer B gives you a digital car while car dealer A actually gives you a real car.

Yes because MS didn't money hat Capcom for Dead Rising 3 before Sony did right.?

And lol capcom say the same shit about Dead Rising 3 to..lol

You people have some shitty memory.

Who is forgetting anything, both of these stupid ass companies do it, the problem is the denial from cows.

10/10.....pretty good backfire thread.

Nyadc makes another one of his ridiculous threads.

Hey, it's not his fault he didn't actually read the article.

@Chutebox: I hear that's how it goes.

I'm going to remember that one, for sure.

Says the biggest xbot on this site.

Didn't he make it a point to say it was a timed exclusive? And I could have sworn that the deal between MS and Square Enix took place before Phil was put in charge, Just that Phil took over And I could have also sworn that Phil stated that he not only disliked third party timed deals but no longer wants to do them.

He said something about spending the money on first party instead, so far it hasn't panned out too well. The real reason is third party exclusives are too expensive for Microsoft, for any publisher to bite they would have to cover the lost sales on PS4, so Microsoft would have to stump up the cash for 2 copies of the game for every game sold on Xbox One for anybody to even consider it, you can see how that would not be viable.

@blessedbyhorus: He compared the ROTR deal to Dead Rising 3 and Ryse...meaning he tried really hard to imply it would come to PC, but not PlayStation. It was slimy.

I think I remember that. Not good.

but it was a tweet from Greenberg himself
