PS4 install base was not 116m in 2018. 
fail comparison. 
 

& totally fail analogy to judge a game’s success with it’s platform’s instal base.

 

Millions & Millions of PS users buy it only for FIFA,CoD or F2P games.

 

I’m sure many do that on Xbox too but not as much. 
 

 

Halo & Forza didn’t touch the figures of Sony games while they were on sale(along with the platform) so it’ll be idiotic to call them as successful as them now when they are not on sale!!! & millions are just booting to have a look. 

I am not calling these games as successful as Sony's games .These games were highly successful in their own right.  

And no you can't compare relative success without taking into consideration the total addressable market .

 

Also GOW war didn't sell 20 mil in 2018 either by that logic .

All figures are lifetime sales . 

It's not a fail comparison - it's the only factual comparison you can do.

Job of an Analyst - is to use data and draw conclusions. Not to draw conclusions based on emotions ( which are almost always biased )

 

Also Millions of users also buy Xbox to only play FIFA / COD / F2P games . Hence these games features heavily in top 10 best selling games of xbox .

Ok compare PC sales with it’s install base in mind next time….if you think it’s so logical to do that without considering the fact that these systems have multiple demographics & not just One.

His point is that as the install base of any system increases, proportion of casuals increases. Thinking that the sales would increase in the same way the install base would increase (after a certain threshold) isn't correct.

All the ghulams -e- gamepass here heap sh*t on radical but when it comes to this guy it's all ok I guess :giggle:

 

He maybe an Xbot but unlike Radical and few of his PSbot friends he doesn't post stuff praising Xbox or insulting Sony on a daily basis . He doesn't make fun of the neutrals ( Ghulam - e - Gamepass ) for playing Sony's games or praising them unlike some of the PSbots who call out neutrals when they praise gamepass like you are doing right now .

 

Nor does he advise anyone here not to Buy PS  . Radical/Hope/Ank have here multiple times said one shouldn't buy XSS/XSX cause it's no good / has no next gen games / is nothing but a 57.5k scam . Hope - even made fun of others (including me) who were suggesting yeah its a worth to buy XSX/S . 

Now its okay if they were genuinely giving advice without being biased but we all know (and they know) they are biased and hence they shouldn't advise anyone to begin with .

 

These guys don't even leave Xbox Threads alone . You will find PS bots making slight fun of Xbox and MS every now and then when they have no business at all being in that thread. I don't see Xbots doing the same in PS thread .

540p ?

- sales don’t matter

- exclusives don’t matter

- resolution doesn’t matter

 

 

 

 

 

WTF 540p?! Infinite isn't even that good looking.

Same applies to Xbox (maybe to a lesser extent ) but it does apply .

So the comparison can be done and nothing illogical about it . It may not give you the most accurate result but does give a fairly decent idea .

 

You can't compare direct sales of a game on different platforms where one platform has 3x the prospective users compared to other .

The fact that Series S can play Flight Simulator ( a game in which decent PC rigs struggles ) and supports 120 fps on some games makes it next gen . Not to mention Quick Resume. 

 

None of the crap posted by PSbots would make us XSS users feel otherwise. Also posting one Screenshot where XSS is struggling doesn't mean the game runs like that only throughout.

When you can get a ps5 digital edition @40k which is 1000 times better than a series s, not one should even look at the system @32-35k 

 

 

the ideal price of series s should be 20-25k (for a somewhat new unit). 

 

I think that part is universally agreed that XSS is badly overpriced at least in India.

 

 

Not believing that is frankly delusional.

This exactly. 

There's so many better games to buy, why the f**k would anyone buy a mediocre indie.

 

On the other hand, GP users get the mediocre indie as part of their sub, no extra charge and they're bragging about more players.

 

And this 400 vs 12k number is from a trophy site?! Most PS users use Psnprofiles not true trophies, what dumbass made that tweet :rofl:

 

The point of that tweet was games are less risky on gamepass, and Dev's get paid. 

 

It has nothing to do with quality of game or no of players on system.

How is PS5 Digital better when

 

-No availability

-Overpriced subscription service

-No day one first party games unless you shell out 5k per game and keep it forever.

 

Get disc model unless you have specific requirements like me.

For your requirements (540p gaming), even a ps2 should suffice.

No, the point of the tweet and the reason it was shared was to compare current users on both platforms. It has everything to do with number of players. 

And the reasoning is nothing short of nonsense.
