We don't know how many copies Sea of thieves sold at 60 dollars till NPD

they said 2 million users could be game pass could be a free trial we don't know.

who cares if its the fastest selling new ip it still could be a flop in sales since all the other new IP's flopped by microsoft so that tells us nothing at all really this crap needs to stop.

tell us the god damn numbers of sold copies instead of PR speak sony tell's us how much their games sell if its doing good.

I've never seen sony go its the FASTEST SELLING NEW IP from sony only microsoft does this garbage!

I say we just wait for npd numbers the U.K numbers were super low for its first week so i expect this will also be a low npd number as well i doubt many people bought it digitally when they could gamepass it.

Damn cows are shook

People are gonna say.. Well Aaron greenturd said... But that's not what he said... What he said had nothing to do with 2 million players.

Why do you care? Plenty of mediocre games sell like absolute gangbusters. Doesn't make them good. If the game is good, that's what we, as potential consumers, should care about. Mind you, some degree of sales is needed for an MP-only game like this to be worth owning, but still

for the billion time

isn't this Microsoft's ONLY new IP for this generation?

@ProtossRushX: Yes, yes...it's a flop. Sleep well, and hope the farmers hands are too chilly on your udders tomorrow...

well, they wanted to use the game to push Game Pass, so even if just 10-15% of the free-trial users turn into paying Game Pass subscribers I suspect MS will see that as a success

see and that is where they are failing.

the catch phrase 'its in the game' is really true. it actually IS why people buy.

They would have been better off making Sea of Thieves an actual good game and then the rest works itself out

No. Quantum Break, Recore, Ori are all Microsoft Studios Games new to this generation.

Holy shit, this game is causing Cows to run amok.

2 flops and an indie game?

? Man, Sea of Tears must have bombed really hard. I can’t wait to see the NPD numbers lol.

ok thanks!

i wasnt sure, I asked many times got an answer :)

to be fair I wasnt asking for quality, I just literally though it was the first one.

So there is no speculation..

There you have it!

Quantum Break, Ori and Sea of Tears.

So to be clear MS Studios has had a whopping number of 3 new IPs released since this generation started!

Quantum break which was a game hyped since launch, Ori which is and 2d Indie although still a great game and SoT.

TC has fvck-ton more threads on this game than hours logged I'm sure

We need more Sea of Thieves threads because we must dilute the saltiness.

To be fair, Sony fans have to make up for the years of delays and cancellations on MS's part level any criticism on any hyped xbox game, so they are getting it all out on this one.

The Last AAA exclusive hyped by xbox fans from MS for Xbox one was Quantum Break! Let that sink in!

Lemmings on the other hand are spamming the board with salty threads crying about Sony exclusives like GT Sport, God of War, TLOU2, Detroit Become Human, Death Stranding, Spiderman ect. on a constant basis because Sony actually has hyped games to talk about.

You xbox fanboys gotten so deluded because of the fact that you gullible smucks have next to no games to talk about and enjoy bashing Sony exclusives 24/7 that you actually FORGOT that xbox games are also subject to criticism on this board.

Surprise hypocrite, yes xbox games are still subject to criticism on SW. I know you probably forgot.

I'll repeat this ad nauseam... Yet people talk about how Nintendo doesn't have any new exclusive games. I don't know why people let Microsoft get away with this shit for so long. Though now I'm glad the Sony fans (and some Nintendo fans) are getting on to them about this.

Yeah... they'll all be waiting on the edge of their seats waiting for those numbers. Lol. So sad.

@tryit: They had Quantum Break, Recore, SoT, Sunset Overdrive and maybe Ori? not sure if they own the Ori IP or not.

Lmfao...

Maybe MS will release numbers at E3 in that tiny bathroom you mentioned, oh wait nevermind they will be in a whole building to themselves, oops does crow taste good???

Game pass here, haven't really touched the game since launch. Mainly because none of my friends have an Xbox :(

ROFLMAO! Cows the biggest hypocritical fanboys in gaming.

Sea of thieves, lives rent free in you and your ilk's head. lol

Next up to move in for some that sweet rent free living in the heads.... State of Decay 2.,... Goof stuff. :P

I know EXACTLY how many copies Sea of Thieves has sold but I’m not telling.

NO

Again blinded by sales and doesnt understand there are other avenues generating $ and getting people into the game besides sales.

If Sony had a multiplayer game and PsNow was viable, wouldnt you be

Ecstatic with a large player base or would you still complain about sales?

Imagine MLB The Show 18, ps4 play anywhere title, psn game pass compatible with pc, the game would def be higher on twitch and see more activity than top 40. Sony would have stronger backing to develop multiplayer titles.

Now this thread is funny. Kudos ProtossRushX.

No. Recore, Quantum Break, and Ryse were new IPs. I'm sure there are others, but those two pop in my head.

Shhhhhhhh...........Don’t tell anyone but NPD doesn’t accurately count digital Xbox sales.

As always any MS number should be taken with an ocean full of salt,they are masters at spinning news,""like best selling new ip release under the last snow fall in winters end""

When in reality they simply add those who download the game cheap because of the online pass.

And after Halo 5 shitty numbers who can trust them,they would account for games on the retail channel and count them as sold.

@i_p_daily said:

Exactly that is the salt we need to take any claim from MS that isn't back up by actual real and clear data.

Sony does the same crap.

They ram "console" in everything to exclude them from entire markets just to hype there plastic box.

I'm sure Microsoft would prefer all of those sales to be new Game Pass customers anyway. It's going to be difficult to judge NPDs given game pass now. It may be an outdated way of viewing things in the near future.

A year ago Sony pr and fanboys were saying the same thing about Horizon, while the other side was saying "no duh, it's their first game they've released since Uncharted 4 which came out 6 months ago"

How quickly we forget
