You can't extrapolate numbers but the division across different heads would be almost identical. UK charts show Nintendo and Sony games in top 10 and no Xbox games even in top 40, so its like a Kryptonite to Xbox fanboys They do insane mental gymnastic to show that UK charts don't matter (just like Japan).

gecko89 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 This GaaS route isn't something to be worried about. As long as they keep giving us their top notch first party titles I'll be happy, they can try their hand at GaaS or turning their IPs into movies/shows or even enter the EV industry for all I care. Only ones bothered should be competitors already trying to enter the games as a service business, which explains the khujli some bots are feeling here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no set template for what a GaaS title is. The next sony Gaas title is releasing next month and people might not even know what it is. Even games like AC and dreams can be considered as a GaaS title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respawn weren't generating that revenue at the time of acquisition AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
