PS5 & PS4 Dominate Ubisoft Sales, Digital and physical.

I mean, PS4/5 are the most.popular consoles.byna wide margin and given ubisofts general track record with PC games, I wouldn't touch it with a pole. So that kind of adds up.

I will say, far cry 6 is killer. It’s a game they actually spent time to polish.

Interesting. Xbox had a better attach rate than Playstation for Ubisoft games.

PS4 and PS5 simply had more consoles out there.

Imagine if they brought out a good game

They did in 2012. But they’ve been pretty lazy since

I can't be the only one that doesn't like these types of posts. Hey mods, maybe there should be some type of flair, flag or tag to be able to exclude these types of weird self-congratulatory sales posts?

A large proportion of the PS posts that make it to my front page is another cheap "record breaking best selling console ever" posts. It's some cringe fanboyism "look ma' we're winning" shit.

Ps fanboys is almost like a cult

Lol have you seen any of the xbox's subreddit? They are either circle jerking gamepass, how much money Microsoft makes compared to Sony or praising their "Uncle Phil". There's circle jerking everywhere and fanboyism, but it's far more restricted on the ps5 sub compared to xbox sub

I was here for new cool PS tech and game releases, not for daily sales reports. I don't get it. I have a hard time believing people would upvote this garbage. It seems fabricated and manipulated.

It is weird. And it’s definitely fanboy nonsense. People try to justify it like “people like to know the console the bought is succeeding” or some nonsense like that. The funny thing is if people are complaining about a business decision like upgrade paths or whatever and someone goes against the grain and says they are ok with it, they’re a boot licker defending a mega corp. Then we have these mega corp praise threads.

Love seeing PC looking so strong, outpacing Xbox in every quarter.

Not that strong. PC actually dropped from 32% down to 20%.

Better then Xbox every quarter, which is the point I was making.

i love Ubisoft games so i probably contributed a lot to these sales.

Is gamepass eating away at game sales for Xbox? Many sources have Playstation games selling many times more than the Xbox version. What effect could this have on 3rd party developers?

Edit: ofcourse ubisoft titles aren't available day one on Gamepass. What I meant if you're getting AAA games day 1 on game pass from Microsoft then you're less likely to pay 50-60£ for 3rd party games.

Edit 2: my point is are game pass subscribers buying more games now than they would have if game pass wasn't available?

As far as I'm aware, there aren't ubisot titles in the game pass, certainly not the latest AC:Valhalla and Far Cry 6

I think a key thing to remember is that PlayStation currently has a bigger install/user base than Xbox. So if 20% of PlayStation and Xbox players bought a game, PlayStation would have more sales. As for game pass, here's a recent article of some devs talking about their experience.

I think this is a good quote:

“The effect that we see is that people are playing on Game Pass, they're telling their friends: ‘hey come play this game with me’, they don't want another subscription, so they just go buy the game. We end up getting a ton of players on Game Pass, and we sell a ton as well.”

Also most games (outside of Microsoft owned ones) will leave Game Pass at some point, depends on the deal. So if you are enjoying a game on the service you might be inclined to buy it to keep playing in the future. Game Pass members get discount on games and DLC purchases so that probably helps too. Microsoft want to make money off the service eventually so driving game sales will be part of their plan.

Always in a very roundabout way never directly saying "Gamepass has increased sales for x game by y percent", or that the people who have Gamepass play more games and spend more on games. In the instances where they said that sales went up they were talking about indie games with no marketing budgets, which were then put on the Xbox dashboard because they were featured on Gamepass.

I completely understand your logic on this, and I'd say yes. I know personally I use my Xbox for the free day 1 games, and the PS5 for the games that aren't free. Thus, I'm making all of my purchases through Sony.

No it's not, findings suggest that game pass subscribers even spend more on games than non subscribers, here's one article :
