Will they ever learn. 99% of people don't care about this shit.Days Gone doesn't pander to the SJW crowd. MK11 did, and the sales clearly show this.
Congrats but the Mortal Kombat split on ps vs xbox is crazy
like yo..72% on PS4? Daym...
Xbox people lost interest with MK or what?
Just because something sells well does not make your critical opinion of it invalid.I bet those reviewers who gave it less than a 7 must feel really stupid now. The game will sell good lifetime and I’m positive there will be a sequel.

So critics of Justin Beiber are wrong and not strong enough "influencers"It doesn't speak to the invalidity of your opinion if you give something a poor critique and don't recommend it, yet everyone buys it anyway, it speaks to the paucity of your influence.
Funny how MK dropped to 50 bucks a few days later. On amazon they don't even let you see the price until you add it to your cartUS sales are going to be really good as well. It's even sold out where I live, AAA games are almost never sold out where I live.

I recommend watching Dunkey's video on game critics. Even though it's close to being 2 years old, the problems of game reviews he mentions still applies today.And why's that? Many customers don't care about the review scores no matter if they're low or high. Also the reviewer shouldn't be afraid to give the game a low score (if it's justified by the review) because of it potentially hurting its sales.

True, people overestimate the strength of the xbox in europe. I wouldn't be surprised if the sales ratio on continental europe would be even further in favor of the ps4.Maybe because there are probably much more ps4 owners than xbox outside of US, while UK is "strong" market for xbox, could be still this.
I literally dont know anyone whom owns xbox here at Finland. Stores sell 70-75% ps4 games and then there are small section for xbox/switch
I like days of gone, would give it 9/10
This just proves that dumb people will buy poor products with great marketing.I bet those reviewers who gave it less than a 7 must feel really stupid now. The game will sell good lifetime and I’m positive there will be a sequel.
I know right. For example: Xbox SADThis just proves that dumb people will buy poor products with great marketing.

Talk us about MK wokeness not being detrimental to it's sales, please.
Will be happy to make you guys eat crow or eat crow myself when we get more solid info. Got bits and pieces trickling in for now heh
We have data already, just not the data you like.
MK11 split :
72% on PS4
28% on XBO
In UK? No... no where close to 2:1... more like 1.5:1.Isn't it literally "console split"? Aren't there twice as many PS4 owners, as XBO owners?
I want to hear the mental gymnastics when Last of Us 2 releases, why the zombies aren't tiring and overdone.

But that is WW estimates (and wrong because Sony released data that deny most PS data in that chart... PS2 for example shipped a bit more than 155m units)... not UK.
- DAYS GONE (SONY) / RESIDENT EVIL 2 (CAPCOM) ~ 70k
- KINGDOM HEARTS III (SQUARE ENIX EUROPE) ~ 66k
- TOM CLANCY'S THE DIVISION 2 (UBISOFT) ~ 55k
- ANTHEM (ELECTRONIC ARTS) ~ 45k
- SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE (ACTIVISION BLIZZARD) ~ 30k
- NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. U DELUXE (NINTENDO)
- FAR CRY NEW DAWN (UBISOFT)
- DEVIL MAY CRY 5 (CAPCOM) ~ 21k
- METRO EXODUS (DEEP SILVER)
- YOSHI'S CRAFTED WORLD (NINTENDO)
- Crackdown 3 (MICROSOFT) ~4k
Days Gone, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Kingdom Hearts III, The Division 2, Anthem, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Devil May Cry 5 & Crackdown 3 : They all launched on a friday.
With 70K Days Gone is the biggest launch of the year in the United Kingdom with RE2 Remake (physical only).
I think with the digital Days Gone should not be far from the 90~100K minimum
Well, I did my part, but that was a digital purchase. I rather suspect that digital sales were strong on this one...
That only applied to Halo though, a digital tour de force that..
I remember that quote from one of the days gone threads...... Surely there's no game pass to save this game, what ever will they do.....?

Dang MK11. A $10 price drop in week one? And still not selling out in stores. Weird.
Sales splits like this are not a new phenomenon in the UK, Xboxs second strongest market. Most western third party games see splits from 60-70 percent while Japanese games are 85 percent plus. And the gap keeps growing wider. Fighting games have performed better on playstation even back in the ps3 days, but for MK to sell this well the same week as a big PS4 exclusive, well what you can say?
I dont think people realize how underwater Microsoft is outside of the US. Thats why these "xbox ready to dominate next gen" and "ready for a comeback" articles we see all the time are pure fantasy. The only way that happens is if sony let Microsoft comeback. MS has all the money in the world true, but xbox is a business not a charity, at some point it cant keep bleeding money and some point they cant keep burning billions of dollars. Xbox will do better next gen of course, it couldnt do worse than it is now.
Just checked Amazon and its true, price already down 50. Also saw a gamspot article from last week listing a slew of retailers who had dropped the price in week 1. Here's something else I found interesting. Multiple outlets, as of last week, required you to add it to the cart to see the price. I wonder why that is. I know that's a tactic sometimes used to suggest the price will be really good, but for a product that launched only days ago that seems odd to me. Do you think there is a contractual clause not to advertise reduced prices before a certain date, or just retailer gimmicks to drive up interest?
As for why it dropped 10 in a week, that seems rather obvious. They went overboard on micro transactions from what I have read, and they also changed something that long time fans were used to, and then gave a stupid explanation as to why. Basically, they created a perfect storm for themselves. Shocking really that they did not learn from Dice's mistake and just say they chose a new art direction, and hope fans enjoy it. They still would have gotten micro transaction backlash, but would have most likely avoided the second controversy that way.

Oh no don’t worry, that narrative will change to be all about the stinky lesbos.
Pretty much most top multi's in the UK have such splits.....Actually , there are quite a few games which are much higher ratios in favor of PS4.....You should check out....Dragon Ballz, Tekken, Soul Calibur, Ace Combat, kindom Hearts, Monster Hunter and so many more.......Congrats but the Mortal Kombat split on ps vs xbox is crazy

How is that possible......Phil said gamepass was actually boosting retail sales and not killing it.....He never gave figures though, but I trust Phil........Maybe Gamepass is killing retail sales.
Days gone is an excellent game.......What I've noticed is that PS owners don't just talk about games that looks good to them, they support the games they know they will enjoy......So whatever reviewers say, they test for themselves......I know what games I like more than reviewers, some of these guys don't even finish the games or know how to put a PS4 on......So reviews have never detracted me from a game that always looked like my Jive and it's looking like this rings true with most PS gamers here.......If you follow, I was stoked for this game from day 1.........In truth, I'd really not want a service like gamepass to deter anyone from giving these devs the $60 they so fairly deserve.....This is INSANE!!! WOW!
That was me!
I saw the review scores and felt like a Sony gamepass could get people to at least try the game. I was worried the 75% score would stop people from even trying it out.
Dang MK11. A $10 price drop in week one? And still not selling out in stores. Weird.
But Days Gone came out the same week as MK11. No way should that many more people have bought MK11 on the PS4, than the Xbox One.

Reviews are opinions pieces. The popularity of something has no correlation with its quality - plenty of good things sell poorly, and plenty of bad things sell well. Why would this affect any reviewers opinion on a product?
