XboxEra Community Hangout |OT10| Insert Catchy Quip Here

The install base of the Playstation is high but misleading as those players regularly only play a few games. The attach rates must be low is millions of players only use the machine for CoD.

Late ports won’t cut it either, multiplat and day one has a huge impact especially on Steam.

They should. These staggered releases are stupid. Now they have to do marketing again for the PC release. Thats unnecessary expensive.

Exactly!

I say let’s have them announce FF7R, FF16, Trials of Mana, Live a Live and any other quality games at TGS for Xbox and PC and future release day and date. It should be a given, but it really isn’t, yet. It does seem more hopeful than before however.

It’s very hard to tell to be honest, i’d say 650-800K range, but it could end up beating BG3.

A LOT of people spent 60$ on Larian’s game just 1 month before Starfield, this won’t help, also the game is very very long, so many of these buyers will still be busy on early September.

There’s still a lot of people who either don’t know about Starfield, or haven’t heard enough about it, the E3 presentation was perfect, but that was 2 months ago and they went completely silent after that, i also don’t expect a very big marketing campaign for the game, except on USA maybe.

I think Bethesda’s game will have much better legs over the years tho

Some of you got to move passes marketing like it’s the 19 fucking '90s or early 2000s Sony goes balls to the walls and what just to sell what 5 million units hell you sell 20 after 2 years we got to move past that it ain’t the early 2000s no more marketing tactics have changed

I think it will largely come down to how well it’s received, it will be huge regardless but early access/extra costs is a bit unpredictable

Without early access and just a simple Day 1 release I could easily have seen it do Cyberpunk numbers even with PC GP being a thing but early access could eat into that

But ultimately I think it will come down to it’s reception, if it’s received extremely well I can see it doing insane numbers even in EA but I also think doing FO4 numbers would still be really good considering it’s EA and is basically twice the cost of what FO4 was at release

Imagine this was the rumor led to…

Yeah I see no point in comparing these. With Game Pass in the mix as well as staggered release it’s just not very useful.

LMFAO what a fucking joke. No enhancement, no nothing.

It’s just a straight up port. You have got to be mad to buy that crap again.

When BC proves why it’s consumer friendly.

Well, glad I wasn’t too hyped for this. This just showed that too much speculation isn’t a good thing. Many thought this was going to be a remaster, some even entertained the idea it being RDR on the RDR2 engine. :joy:

Xbox somehow wins without doing anything. The biggest loser however is PC. Like wow…

How is that game not on PC? But they did bring 2 to it…make it make sense.

Might be true that the game’s code is such a mess that they can’t work it on PC or make a remastered

$50?

For a straight up port of a 12/13 year old game?

The Switch store page says they removed the multiplayer so the 360 BC version remains the definitive edition

A BC being a definitive edition was not on my bingo card.
