One of the biggest releases of the year, Starfield, is days away from its full global release, with owners of its Premium and Constellation Editions already having had early access for a couple of days, and unsurprisingly, the excitement surrounding the space-faring RPG’s launch has resulted in increased hardware sales for Xbox as well.
It's to be expected software especially really hyped software always drives hardware sales and that's a fact! Xbox for many years has been lacking the software side so the hardware sales has always suffered..
We’ve heard this how many times?
“UK Xbox Sales Up 1000 Percent Following Xbox One S Launch“
“Xbox Series X sales increased by with 1335% after the showcase“
“Xbox Series X Saw 1000% Increase In Amazon Sales Thanks To Starfield“
Not hard to have a 1,000% increase when the base number is......... 2. I kid, I kid, but it's cool that they sold a couple of thousand consoles off the back of Starfield.
Well provide links if you’ve got them. Those are just quotes with no source lol
PeterOvo and GamingBolt are both as thick as each other. That percentage number does not mean the Xbox Series X has had an increase in sales of 1,056%. It means the percentage increase in Amazon sales rank; in other words if you look at the picture it actually says the Xbox was at 370 in the Amazon chart and now is at 32 - so a big leap to nearer the top of the chart. However this gives no indication of how many units the Xbox Series X had actually sold, although you can infer an increase. There’s nothing wrong with not understanding something - but it’s very wrong when stupid people make a song and dance because they think they are clever when in fact they are too stupid to know otherwise.

Jin,
OK, what is your point? at each one of these points, that was the increase.
"We’ve heard this how many times?"
I have as well, every single time any console gets an increase in sales, again, your point?
@bloop
Exactly. It was at rank “370”, that means sales were very low prior to this state. So 1000% (means x10) is relative to how many were being sold. Also this is a “snapshot”. Its momentary, not over a sustained period of time. Something like this can easily be fabricated by a smart company that holds shipments of consoles and delivers upon release of game. Lets see what the monthly sales say. Will it have “1000%” sales increase? No. It wont. That will tell us how significant the game actually was.
“OK, what is your point? at each one of these points, that was the increase.“
My point is that it only moves the needle for a short period then sales slow again. Meanwhile PS5 and Switch continue selling truckloads.
The metacritic review score for the Xbox version is dropping as well. Maybe they finally added IGN review score on there
They didn't make a good game, they didn't make the game. Starfield was already coming to Xbox.
The only thing MS will see is that buying up the multiplatform industry, locking away games from gamers instead of making them is the way to go.
This doesn’t tell them anything yet. Read my comment above. This is marketing plot.
Not saying good games dont sell consoles. But what Starfield did if anything will be seen once the real numbers come out for monthly sales.
Maybe someone should inform Phil Spencer and make him aware that quality games equals to more sales. For some weird reason this is such a hard concept to understand
I'm curious to what the numbers will end up being at the end of this month. That'll tell the story.
This is only a snapshot. It can easily be fabricated by causing a momentary delay in shipments of consoles for PR purposes. The monthly sales will tell the real numbers.
Amazon is celebrating Father's Day, as they have kicked off a new buy 2 get 1 free sale on PS4 games. Here are all the games included.
looks like amazon is not going to disappoint. Hope they have a PS4 console promo as well...
Anyone know of a sale on ps plus cards?
Everytime they say lighting deals I keep thinking of Final Fantasy 13
Like I am a huge ps vita fan and I want to believe there is still hope but I feel sony is giving up on the handheld. I have bought a lot of games for the system , games such as: AC3 Liberation, DBZ battle of Z, Soul Sacrifice, Street fighter X Tekken, The Walking Dead, Mortal Kombat, Madden, Gravity Rush, Uncharted, Need for Speed, GOW collection, Borderlands 2, killzone mercenary, Little Big Planet, Playstation All stars, a lot of minis and a few psp games and that's too name a few. But even after all those purchases and moments of pure enjoyment I have come to see the push and excitement behind the games coming out as of late nearly disappear all together . Sure indies are cool, some are really good, but to have a majority of games to be indies is unacceptable . Why cant sony listen to the hearts and demands of fans such as me and millions more. The psp had plenty of exclusives for familiar franchises. The psp had yugioh, madden, 2knba, wrestling, baseball, kingdom hearts, naruto, bleach, midnight club, fight night, gta , gow, final fantasy, and so much more. Why cant they duplicate that feeling of when you first bought a psp and was like wow look at this !!! a portable gta. Little moments like that were so huge to many . The ps vita has the hardware , has the audience , has a purpose but not the support it needs. When was the last time you saw a psvita exclusive commercial ? Where are the triple AAA games that we are familiar with here in the states. Japan has games we will never see such as Jstars victory check it out. But all we get on psvita now is jrpg's not saying there bad but we need more diversity. I personally have been waiting for a nba 2k game forever. Or a kingdom hearts game, gta all the games psp had as exclusives but new with a ps vita style. I know some may see this post as a rant or just overlook it all together. But if your a psvita fan and want to see it prevail , I suggest everyone starts sharing there support and take the time out to write a polite comment, post, tweet, etc. of how you feel. Gamers really have to UNITE!!!
Canada f***ing SUCKS when it comes to things like Black Friday or Cyber Monday. We may as well not do it at all. Hell, even our Boxing Day sales suck.
I mean, I want Dragon Age: Inquisition right, here in Canada it's $70 which is absolutely ludicrous. On Amazon.com, according to that article, it's $44.95 which is a $15 drop from the U.S. MSRP. It's not even on sale at all in Canada. AT ALL. And then the worst deal I've seen so far. PSN+ Cards on Amazon.ca, normal price is $49.99 and they're having a sale. Now, instead of paying $49.99, you can pay the low low price of $48.94
WOW!! A WHOLE $1.05 SAVINGS!!
Russell Peters says it best, and inadvertently describes all of Canada, in this video.
