Gears 5 sales is bad...but also good?

In UK Gears of War 4 sold 4.5 times better in its launch week

Gears of War 3 sold 20 times better

BUT

Gears 5 brought in over three million players in the first weekend

Microsoft’s most successful first-party launch since Halo 4

Biggest launch week of any Xbox Game Studios title this generation

Nobody is going to buy it when you can basically play it for free.

yes... but this is exactly what MS want. even if a small percentage of those players convert to active gamepass subs they will see that as a win

Not once did I stop playing gears 5, put down the controller and think “ I wonder how many people have bought/ played the game” I couldn’t give a shit about sales or sony’s/Ms revenue,it’s a 1 system,1 brain cell with emotional attachments to a entertainment system fanboy thing(sad acts)

I did however think to myself “ gamepass is sweeeet” keep bringing the fantastic games to it MS and roll on the outer worlds

@with_teeth26: I'm aware.

fair enough, I just wanted to put that in the thread before the dingbats show up and claim its a failure because of low concurrent players on steam

So how much is it to get Gamepass/Live bundled together per month?

@me2002: Already a thread on this so locking this thread.
