It's what I'm guessing what happens when the splits favor the PS5. Not necessarily due to Gamepass but due to Sonys market share.

Publishers/developers are going to put their game on Game Pass as long as MS is willing to pay a high enough premium for it. Most people, myself included, have concerns that it will not be sustainable in the long run at the current subscription model/rate but time will tell. That being said, I am playing Hades on Game Pass.

Given that you are the source of that garbage, that last sentence makes a lot of sense.

Believe it or not, there are idiots out there who want to see Game Pass fail. True story.

But Gamepass is Gamepass of the Gamepass.
Have you heard of how Gamepass is saving Gamepass?

True.
Except for the guy who fucking leads Xbox.........
ROFL.
"In a video interview with levelup.com (as pointed out on ResetEra), Spencer says that putting games on Game Pass actually increases sales of the individual game."
""When you put a game like Forza Horizon 4 on Game Pass, you instantly have more players of the game, which is actually leading to more sales of the game," he said. "Some people have questioned that, but when State of Decay 2 launched, you saw if you looked in the US at the NPD you saw this game selling really well the month it launched on GamePass."
Phil Spencer: Game Pass leads to more game sales
Microsoft VP of gaming says service has been "very healthy for our games" such as State of Decay 2, Forza Horizon 4www.gamesindustry.biz
At some point people will admit to the fact that gamepass has created a scenario where less games are being sold on Xbox. It's ironic because a lot of these very same people can't wait to brag about getting games for "free" and the amount of "value" they are getting.
Cognitive dissonance at its finest.

Also, Hades is Play Anywhere, you'll own the PC version and the console version. Physical discs are a dying breed.

Its an example. They usually do it for $1m-$5m for these games.
Here is what epic spends on small games like hades.

Tons of memes on GAF about Playstation owners also owning gaming PCs.
But apparently plenty of Xbox owners own gaming PCs - despite Xbox 'exclusives' being available on both platforms day one

Are these not xbox users? As long as they can play xbox games day1, they will be xbox users.
as for windows store, we don't talk about that.

This shit again...
Been playing Hades to death on Gamepass. It's awesome. So's Gamepass. No way I would have bought it because it's not usually my thing, and I would never have known I love it.
Thanks to Microsoft and Supergiant for reaching an agreement they are both happy with to provide it to me at no additional cost. What a time to be alive.

So Steam gamers who happen to buy Microsoft games are now "Xbox users"?
That's a reach.

No, those are factually not Xbox users.
The words “On Steam” is a hint.

GamePass increases games sales - except for Hades.
Oh and physical copies are irrelevant - except when we're evaluating the PS5 Digital Edition.
You do know the game released like 3 days ago right?
Phils comments implied word of mouth from Day One Gamepass titles helped said titles gain more sales.
Its been 3 days and we are talking about like 5000 physical copies.
The publisher is Xbox Games Studios and an Xbox Live account is needed for most if not all of them.
So yes you are an Xbox user.
Do you also suppose people who use Xbox Cloud Gaming(xCloud) arent Xbox user because they dont have the physical Xbox console?

An account? Really? The bar for being on “Xbox” is incredibly low then. The console might as well not exist, I guess.

You know the same trends were found with Resident Evil 8 and Hitman right? They've been out longer than three days.
I'm not going to make up a number about the volume of sales though.

bruh I can't download this shit because of 0x800700f1 error and apparently there is still no solution..... It only happens with games you have to download as an administrator....
kingfey

Its same. Pc users, who play Xbox games, using steam, which uses MS windows, Who owns Xbox. Hence Semi xbox users.
Difference is, they dont own Xbox console. But use Xbox accounts to play those games.

According to users, sometimes error 0x8007001F can appear on your PC due to your audio drivers. If your audio drivers are outdated or corrupted, you might encounter this issue. To fix the problem, you need to reinstall your audio driversbruh I can't download this shit because of 0x800700f1 error and apparently there is still no solution..... It only happens with games you have to download as an administrator....
Update your drivers.

Bingo.
If you start with it is the “same” and end with pointing out the difference then….well….not the same.
This is simple. Look at the hardware you are playing on. Accounts be damned.

Famitsu rated the PlayStation 4 version at first place in the Japanese gaming charts, selling 111,171 copies in a week. The PlayStation 5 version sold 38,713 copies, reaching fourth place in the charts.
That is the Japanese market, where RE8 is kinda home game.
UK is lower than that.
Hitman 3 Breaks Series Sales Records With Impressive Digital Launch
Record-breaking sales.
Hitman 3 digital sales. It was much better than physicals.
UK physical charts is low. Its 10k copies sold, which people make it a big deal.
This new chart has 5k copies sold as n1 for godsake.
Playstation would win on the digital sales. That is no contest, due to the ps4+ps5 numbers, compared to xbox numbers.

Now you are starting to get it. Its literally the point
Xbox everywhere was literally a thread not too long ago, the actual Xbox console is but one avenue for MS to make you a user of their services.
Xbox Cloud Gaming - Xbox user
Xbox Console - Xbox user
Steam but require Xbox account - Xbox user
TV App but require Xbox account - Xbox user.
To use Xbox Cloud Gaming all you need is an account.....does that mean people who use Xbox Cloud Gaming arent Xbox users?
You are still thinking in archaic terms where unless i physically have the hardware in front of me im not a user.
But thats not how the world works anymore.
If you need to sign up to their services and give them your data you are a
You dont need a Playstation Network Account to play any of those games.
Ill ask again are people who play on Xbox Cloud Gaming not Xbox users.
Microsoft literally counts active Xbox Live accounts as active users.
So if you want to play XGS games even on steam and you need their account then you are an Xbox user.

RE:Village, Scarlet Nexus and many other games were not on Gamepass, yet the results are always eerily similar with PlayStation dominating the sales.

What is Xbox currently? A console or a platform?
Whatever your answer is, will let you know whether steam users are part of xbox ecosystem or not.

That is because its physical. It will always go toward PlayStation. PlayStation users grow with 2 consoles, which needed physical copies. Compared to xbox, which transitioned to digital super fast.

What was the split for games that ain't on gamepass, like RE village and hitman 3?
Topher

I disagree. You can call it archaic if you want but PC, Xbox, and PlayStation are based in hardware, not accounts. Horizon Zero Dawn is just as much a PC game as it is a PlayStation game. Just as Assassins Creed is. The games listed were on Steam. I don’t care what account you use, those Steam games are being played on a PC.
Steam users are not a part of Xbox ecosystem regardless. How is Steam part of Xbox ecosystem when Microsoft is paying royalties to Valve for selling games in the “Xbox ecosystem”? That is just absurd.

Where do you see those numbers?No.1 sold less than 5500 units.
F1 2021 sold 3400 units and charted at No.6.
That means Hades sold roughly 2500 physical units, PS5 has 93% of these
Congratulations

I guess Sea of Thieves is an iPad game then?
Not sure how playing Sea of Thieves on a remote Xbox makes your point. You are still playing on an Xbox. I do agree that streaming blurs the lines though. But ultimately the hardware is actually an Xbox.
