I'm afraid it's true! :o Merry Christmas Systemwarriors!

I hope they’re enjoying it

That's not actually what bluehole said

@Xplode_games: Why comparing an exclusive game to a multiplat game? Apples to Oranges here.

Ewww crapgamer

Edit: Lol at the top comment

"And it still runs like shit."

also, HZD sales were announced back in June and weren't that far from 4 million at the time

Cool another dude-bros mayhem running at 10 fps!!!

And some of 'em dare talking about cinematic experience, go figure ;p

PUBG on PC is way past 26 million units sold, I haven't watch the video (not going to either) but I assumed it referring to the Xbox One version (blerghh!)

30mil combined and steamspy always behind the actual numbers, most likely 2-3mil on xbox

lol Crapgamer. You lems continue to embarrass yourself by quoting that idiot.

At 12fps, it is much more cinematic than HZD. Doesn't surprise me that it sells so well. People like their cinematic games.

Sorry but I really dont see what the fuss is about. The game is as generic as you can get. Boring...

Didn't realize HZD only sold that much. I thought it would of been up in the 7s by now. Sony better get that sucker on PSN freebie to help boost those numbers.

I don't understand how this is so popular... but I'm happy for the devs nonetheless. It's at least different from the COD+Battlefield formulae, and one of my friends does love it.

Not sure why you are comparing this with HZD sales numbers from June, but whatevs. It's still true that this has outsold HZD's 2.6mil in its first 2 weeks.

Is it though? The only Xbox One specific numbers I've seen are 1 million players in the first 48 hours. That doesn't necessarily mean 1 million sales, as one person can buy the game and a sibling or roommate can also play it on that console. Add to this that MS is giving free copies with an Xbox One X purchase and refunding past sales for launch buyers, this would be even fewer actual sales compared to player count.

What does this have to do with Horizon?

Aren’t they giving this pos away with the xbone lol

Lmao...Lemmings twisting numbers of a second rate, flop of a game to try and make it compatible to what is arguably, the best new IP of this generation and one of the best games of this generation.

Keep living that 4k/12 dream..

You're what now??? Developers who put out poor performing trash like this need to die as all they're doing is proving to other developers that people are dumb enough to still buy trash and that is a message we do not want other developers taking note of.

@scatteh316: I didn't realize it was such trash. I've never played it. My friend loves it, so I assume the optimization issues can't be THAT bad. Still, I'm not throwing support behind a junk game or anything - just didn't realize it's such a mess when I wrote that

@asylumni: ah, perhaps not then, lol. Is this just another spin thread? Im on mobile so I can't fact check easily

Ho Ho Ho. 'Tis the season to be jelly.

I don't like comparing sales between games like this, there's nothing to compare. Yes, they're high-profile titles, but that's it. They're two VERY different genres, one is multiplayer focused while the other is singleplayer focused, it's not right to compare.

I dont think it is anywhere near 4 million on Xbox. I would say getting close or a little over 2 million because from what I understand Steamspy can get its numbers way off on games with a lot of sales. It is selling well but no way is it at 4 million. Sorry.

it mean come get some cow tears baby lol

lol that crap guy is a real idiot.

"This is a real system seller" lmao.

like, No! No it isn't, it's just a game that was ate up by a bunch of starving gamers with no other games to choose from. The game is barely playable on xbox one.

lol nothing, xbox fanboys are confused here.

They don't seem to understand there is a difference between a fanbase divided by having the options of choosing several high quilty AAA exclusives games releasing all in the same time period vs only having 1 high profile exclusive* being released at the end of the year that all the users of the system have to pick or do without anything special.

There it is!

Basically MS was only able to put out 3 worthwhile on xbox one all year long and they all came smashed in the 4Q holiday season. One was a 2d indie title, the other was a yearly rehashed racer and the last was PUBG.

Pretty simple, one player base has many high quality game options that split sales and the other doesn't. Not difficult to figure out of something to brag about to be honest.

Tis the season to spin out of control.

The guy is an idiot really. Horizon Zero Dawn landed on the TOP 10 best selling games of 2017.

You wouldn't think the guy would be dumb enough to think the sales are still at 2.6 Mill when it launched back in February but he is an xbox fan

PUBG is massively popular multiplayer game while Horizon is singleplayer and geared towards a smaller audience. Not really fair to compare sales.

TC's source is using the recent press release of 30 million players, subtracting SteamSpy's 26 million and assuming 4 million Xbox One sales and then comparing it to Horizon Zero Dawn's sold numbers from back in June.

People can game share this game with one other person. We can't assume all 4 million uses all purchased a copy either.

Just like we can't assume everyone who bought it shared it with friends, it works both ways.

Also not many people buy a game to share it with other people in the month of release.

For the record I don't care how many were sold, but there's some serious reaching in this thread.

Links a Crapgamer video... watch as all credibility goes out the window.

@BigBadBully: hope that they will invest in optimizing and giving back to the community

Finally was able to play it. Gets pretty damn intense when the ring gets smaller. The stuff you spent doing before that is kinda boring.

Pretty much this. Was going to say something similar.

I vomited a little in my mouth watching that "crap" video. That dude use to be ok to watch. Always for Xbox but that's fine. This video reaked of insecurity. I wonder why he didn't compare it to Uncharted 4's sales numbers?

I tried watching some live streams on YouTube. For 15 minutes you get your character ready for a gun fight... You get shot, die, repeat another 15 minutes of finding random guns and gear, get shot, die, etc. I don't get it... Probably never will.

Xbone fans really believe what Crapgamer said? Didn't know that they are so dumb. LOL

Last steamspy recalibration was 3 weeks ago and added 2.5 million owners over 4 days. With new steam users only recalibrated every 3 to 4 weeks, the numbers are always off for a few million until the new users are added. Surely Steam numbers are 2 million off at least.

So Xbone numbers are floating around 1.5 mil - 2 mil. So, it's not 4 mil. copies sold on Xbone. And also, there a bunch of multiple accounts on XBL.

I think TC mistook Horizon Zero Dawn with Forza Horizon 3. I know, similar names, it happens.

Well it must be doing pretty good because it sitting in the top 100 Best sellers of 2017 on the world largest online retailer. Who hasn't played a crappy game that turned out to be Fun, sure are a lot of them on the PS4.

Unoptimized and early release game for the One X is still stressing the Sony folks.

I'm not bringing that up to deflate the estimate. I'm just saying that we shouldn't hype a game as a "system seller" based on said estimates that re questionable.

Crapgamer is cancer. Don't link to his garbage, please.

So, what we really need to say in this thread:

Sony can't make any super popular multiplayer games after decades of trying, so they are limited to cinematic SP repeats.

Yup sounds about right.

Doesn't matter because it sold those 4 million on Xbox.

how much is pugb? 30 or 60? or neither

MS didn't make PUBG, hell they had to buy first on Xbox rights to even get a super popular MP game.
