Video Game Market Analysis Thread

What is this obsession with having ridiculous player counts. Tetris has sold 100 million copies and everyone plays alone.

My point is that a lot of people don’t care about these massively-online games. Hence the super popularity of single-player experiences. Heck I play Monument Valley & Desert Golf on iOS.

The conversation was about Starfield, a single player experience? Total player count was only brought up because it’s an important metric for something like game pass.

Is increasing wages really a big thing? Does not these companies supposed to have yearly appraisals?

Yeah… I was like… ok?

I’d imagine this is separate. So people still have an eval, but they bump all the salary ranges up by whatever percent. Also probably more of an impact for people who might be on hourly instead of salary.

Technically my employer did something like this last year where they gave everyone a bump outside our normal review period.

Edit: yeah this reads as exactly what my company did last year, everyone gets a one time 10% bump that isn’t part of eval cycle. Ours wasn’t that high so I’m a bit jealous.

It’g gone to pass the PS2 lifetimes sales when it all said and done. Crazy since no one expected that from Nintendo after Wii U failure.

it’s so ubiquitous but it’s still FJD 1,499 (~USD749) in my country. I wanted one but they’re never on sale and the online store doesn’t work in Fiji so I gotta buy games for FJD 120 which is like 10 whole meals for me.

Switch definitely getting long in the tooth and demand is slowing.

Not even fully out yet btw.

Imagine if this game had a functional working switch version at release

Eh. Why exclude Elden ring? Even if you get rid of MP. Its gonna pull up those numbers for launch for SP only refardless

It’s the price increase. Series S shot way up on Amazon after the announcement.

Notice that Series X is still nothing.

Series S has always been in stock in Japan since ~September.

Over 75,000 consoles sold in the week but not one PS game sold more than 4,480.

Japan is still very much a physical market so it’s not some crazy 90% digital attach rate.
