Already sold more than RE4. FF16. MK1, SF6, And AC4 on the year and they’ve been out for months. And it’s on Gamepass

But nah, Sony stan’s said it was a flop:francis:

In one region (its strongest region) , and thats because of the early access.

These sales represent around 500k copies sold

We don’t know Starfield numbers to make this statement. Being number one on the charts doesn't mean you met or exceeded sales expectations.
We do know it sold well because it beat games multiplat games like Fifa, Mortal Kombat, NBA 2K24, and Madden. The game is just on xbox which is a distant third and PC. So, it is a nice feat to get #1 over the titles above. However, as I've mentioned Microsoft will need more than one AAA game to get Playstation gamers to buy their console because most people usually stick with one console or get a Nintendo as 2nd console

They keep saying they aren’t even trying to sell more consoles than Playstation. I don’t even know why people keep harping on that comparison.

If they wanted to sell more consoles, Starfield wouldn’t be available on PC.

Sony was discounting and bundling heavy this month. Their succcess is selling as many consoles as possible. Xbox’s is not.

Yeah, Microsoft is playing a different game because they also leverage PC and will of take advantage of mobile. We have games like RE4 being able to run on an iPhone 15 pro is making me think that mobile market might become a player for AAA in the near future. I assume Microsoft is going to make a mobile store to take advantage of that, so it should get interesting.

But RE4 announced 4 million sales a while ago, and Starfield is sitting higher than that in just a couple weeks.
