(https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/wolverine-lifts-ps5-but-xbox-struggles)Xbox's sales are getting worse, even after the launch of console exclusive Gears of War: E-Day.>UK data from Nielsen IQ showed that Xbox hardware sales fell 22% in October, while Circana is seeing no uplift in the US. And that's not just with the Gears release."All of the new programs they're putting into place, at least in the sales and engagement data that I look at, I'm not seeing [them] have any positive impact," Piscatella said. "The disc-to-digital program hasn't changed their sales of new physical software trend at all."Saying Gears is going to be exclusive hasn't made any difference in terms of the hardware trend. In fact, it keeps getting worse."[Xbox] took Call of Duty out of Game Pass on day one. And in the engagement data I'm looking at through our player engagement tracker, basically you lost a ton of engagement on Xbox because it's no longer on Game Pass, and you got no benefit. It's really hard to find any signs of positivity or hope on that platform right now."He continued: "Everything they're doing seems to be getting Twitter likes from the most passionate part of their fan base, but other than that, in terms of actual results, I'm not seeing anything right now. And I'm looking really hard."And Gears is a gorgeous game. That is a Gears-ass Gears of War game. But by making it exclusive, you chop the legs out from under its potential as an individual title in order to to boost your platform, and at least in the short term, it hasn't made a difference.">Xbox says that "console sales remain constrained by supply", and that demand is currently exceeding availability. It expects a further decline in console revenue over the next three months, which covers the release of GTA 6.
>call game exclusive >not actually exclusive i wonder why. maybe advertising a popamole reboot wasn't the smartest idea either
This snoy really wants to make himself important but no talking will change that uk sells like 2k videogames in a month and is irrelevant.Thinking that fucking wolverine raised pis5 sales instead of gta6 anticipation is also hilarious wrong and should disqualify you from ever giving your opinion on anything videogames ever again.
