Xbox Series X Saw 1000% Increase In Amazon Sales Thanks To Starfield

https://tech4gamers.com/xbox-series-x-1000-increase-sales-starfield/#:~:text=Amazon%20is%20currently%20selling%2010,the%20highly%2Danticipated%20RPG%20release.

Hmmm 🤔 well that's a pretty big jump.

Seems like Bethesda RPGs still bringing the hype train.

I'm not even that excited for starfield, I'll give it a go on gamepass. But damn that seems like a significant jump just for a single title that also on PC. Interesting. Maybe this is from the PS5 owners with no PC caving in for the Bethesda RPGs.

That’s the “movers and shakers” chart… All that movement just to end up here overall. And Starfield is 42nd in my region. Context matters folks…

Lol

Do these people know that the game is running at an unplayable 30fps?

1000% from what ? That only tells me that the xbsex was selling so poorly these past few months

I also looked at the video game sales rankings on Amazon USA.

It's still at #17, not even close to the PS5 at #9, even with the 1000% increase.

But hey, at least it managed to hold its own against the 7-year-old Switch (#19) right now.

Unsurprisingly if you release high profile games more people will want to buy your product.

Well, I didn't. Now that I do, lol wtf.

Nothing a 🐄 sales 🤡 hates more is positive sales on another system,hense the 🐄🐂🐄🐂 stampede to play down this news.

You think that's bad,it's 0fps on PlayStation

lol :P

Dayum! That's huge. Nice work Phil, and thank you!

LULZ you totally got those Sony noobs bruh!

Really though, I'd rather not play the game at all than at 30 fps.

Most games that I have been playing on my PS5 and Xbox Series X have been quality mode 30fps, and I absolutely love it. The only games that I chose not to do 30fps is Forza Motorsport 7, Forza Horizon 5 and Gran Turismo 7.

Starfield is going to be AMAZEBALLS at 30fps on console. I am so damn moist right now, it's crazy. I am ringing out my thong as we speak.

Weird. I find performance more important in FPSs than racing games.

Makes sense, the Xbox goobers love Bethesda slop.

Yup, everyone is different.

@saint-george: 30 fps is literally worse than 0 fps. I would (unironically) not play it at all if 30 fps is the only option.

Luckily I have a 4090 so I'll be playing it at 4K/120 with or without DLSS. but 30fps? Might as well not exsist on XSX either.

@Litchie: I think FPS games are by far the most important to have high FPS in, especially if you use a mouse.

when I use my Xbox controller I can hardly tell the difference between say 80 and 120 in a third person action game. i.e. Dead Space, Plague Tale 2 and Red Dead 2 (my recently purchased action games)

But with M/KB and an FPS game I feel a slight difference between 110 and 120 lol i.e. Cyberpunk 2077, Halo Infinite, Layers of Fear and Metro Exodus (My most recent recent FPS games)

imo the performance in racing games is more important because the whole point of them is measuring and challenging your performance and you challenging your own performance. But I'd also prefer to play FPSs at no lower than 60fps.

As much as I'd like to play no games below 60fps, there are some it probably wouldn't bother me much. Are RPGs not somewhat slow paced for example? Or a Zelda game.

I think even on the PS5 and Series X, you're going to see more 30fps games now. And a performance mode isn't guaranteed since developers don't want to see their game look like shit.

Even on the PS5, this would have been 30fps. I'd suggest people start considering a move to the PC if this bothers them. I always said that a 60fps standard for consoles wasn't sustainable. And the moment cross gen games stop releasing, consoles start struggling and now 30fps is starting to creep back in.

60fps ONLY works on the PC, because people can personalise the settings and can upgrade their GPU. But on consoles, not only can you not upgrade, but graphics sell games and consoles, so 30fps will always be a target so developers can push the GPU.

The funniest thing for me will be watching the console fanboys now having to back track and excuse this after "sampling" the 60fps life and trashing 30fps. XD

I have a series x and was expecting 60fps,ive been playing redfall to get my brain and eyes accustomed to 30,my eyes are like °f#@k's this?°

"30 fps is literally worse than 0 fps"

🐂💩

@ghostofgolden: Here we go again! Yeah, you're such an Xbox fan... LMAO.

Yawn. I have a great idea - don't support Bethesda or MS and don't buy this game! Never play it until all their games are 60FPS.

Go ahead, do it - be that martyr!

Ahhh memories...

Where's TigerSuperman? He could make sense of all of these charts!

Again, using the “movers and shakers” list to illustrate success if goofy. We have published concrete data that details market performance. “Fans” using propaganda as fanboy fuel is what’s wrong with console wars these days.

Being a fan and wanting to be lied to aren’t the same thing…

Digital Foundry was spot on:

Why the return of 30fps console games is inevitable

More ambitious games push hardware further - and something has to give.

People's emotional and mental stability hang on to Xbox selling poorly. Look at how much time people put into it on this thread and who knows where else. Take it easy TC. Think of others.

I really did think with these consoles it was the end of 30fps games.

I think its more of xmas is coming and know its crazy hard to find one then.

most casual gamers don't know what starfield is.

Lol no, Starfield is definitely pushing sales and is very well known. That's some hard cope there, buddy.

cope? its my 2023 game next to spiderman 2.

yes its well known to common gamer.

but you see all three are going to start in sales because of xmas

You said casual gamers don't know what it is, even though all signs point to big preorder numbers and it's the most wishlisted game on Steam... Your statement is ridiculous, the game is without a doubt moving Xbox's and is a huge title this year, for casual gamers or otherwise.

Its just how he is trying to cope with the 30fps cap on starfield. We all know he used Performance Mode when available. Kvally is coping a lot as of late.

🎄is coming,yay...oh wait its still summer 😎🩴🌝,damage control it is then.

@saint-george: damage control what? I want Starfield to come. There are a lot of parents that start Xmas in September. Only 4 months away. Heck both Halloween and Xmas stuff will be coming out.

Now now Hard. This is not the attitude you had when we woke up this morning and you made me breakfast in your apron.

well I go more 30fps for the extra graphics. graphic whores do this.

It's damage control 👍

You are GOD DAMN RIGHT...I am a WHORE!

Nice. Would love to see what the sales bump looks like in next month NPD report.

No matter how hard you cope, 30fps is the maximum you can achieved while i'll be playing the game at 80fps+. THis is sad, real sad.

30 fps literally looks like a slide show to me at this point. Hell, I even consider 60 kinda' mid in 2023.

Well, 30fps will be the new 2024 and beyond. Better get your eyes adjusted to it.

it doesn't matter even if it is. The thing with some xbox games, especially first party games is that they have a feature called play anywhere. Even if the game is low performance now, you can play the game on a pc, or even on the next gen xbox. Either way, you get access to multiple versions. Sadly not all games support the play anywhere feature, because of greed. The developers want you to buy the same game multiple times for different devices. Only saint phil and microsoft allow you to carry their games on multile platforms.

na im sure there will be plenty of 60fps and 30fps settings in games.

im sure starfied will eventually get the 40fps 120hrz mode.

spiderman2 as well.

plus 60fps settings.

they might already have for starfield but cant archive it on series s yet so they are forcing the 30fps.

Are we at a point of relying on a next gen Xbox that isn't even a certainty to come out in 5-6 years to damage control the 30fps that is happening in 2023?🤡🤡🤡

@dabear: Why would I do that? I am not an Xbox peasant, I'm a glorious 4090 King We get 4K/120fps. Not 1080p/30fps!
