This is a huge year for the annual franchise, marking the first time it’s been available on Microsoft’s consoles. Not only that, it launched directly into the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Judging by its placement, the impact on sales seems to have been additive rather than cannibalizing.” So he's just guessing as well........ Plus without any Xbox/PS numbers, how can you tell where it sold more?? Edited May 31, 2021 by Snake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t take rocket science to judge that a game which was exclusive & closely associated with only one platform & most likely sold what it had to on that very platform alone because of being a sports title would only “add” whatever it will by being given on a subscription that none of the old time fans of the series have to begin with Anyone who would think that MLB being on GamesPass has a potential to “cannibalise” it’s yearly revenue on PS in the first year itself are on a delusion level of their own & should be given a free hand to give their analytical expertise as much as they want Edited May 31, 2021 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And IMO those who have an Xbox and a GP sub will honestly not buy the game.

Well, the insane vfm factor we have right now will wear away once the 3 years are up. 15 USD per month (assuming no price hike) will still be fine for people who manages enough time to play a lot of games. But for people like myself with limited time, it is no longer a great deal. I would much rather pick the specific games I actually want to play and buy them during sales.
