Poor sales

Baldur's Gate 3 is number 2 on the Top Sellers list, but HEY! Starfield's number 32! So that's something :3 Game of the Year numbers right there :3

It's not like the "10 million players" got the game for free through GamePass subscriptions that they already had, right?

Well duh, its like 8 am over here. Just grabing some wake up coffee before real life calls. Gaming is done after that, home gets a mess when one stops cleaning and doing grocery's.

This is the Starfield forums... We do not go on other games we do not like to troll. We game and come here for discussions for Starfield. We are more productive with our lives. Just too many trolls not to ignore.

Huh. Wonder why there are so many trolls when the game is just so amazing? You’d think all the fans of this amazing work of art would drown out the trolls. Is the 63% recent review score from the continued review bombing that’ll definitely stop any day now and go back up to 90+%?

Starfield beat Baldur's Gate 3 in sales and it wasn't even a close competition. Starfield is 7th in the year, Baldur's Gate 3 is around 40 or 50.

I don't use Gamepass because all I really play are RPGs, but Starfield is on Gamepass and BG3 is not. Seems important to mention that.

Delusional. If you really think BG3, which is on console and PC, and is still Steam’s #2 seller a month after Starfield’s release, while Starfield is #32, has sold less than Starfield, you’re inept. It would literally have to come from people choosing to buy physical copies and not just go the GamePass route, which doesn’t make any sense in 2023. There’s no logical path where Starfield sells more than BG3. Which is why Microsoft didn’t tout the sales. They touted the “players”.

But I guess if a research firm told you it’s true, then it must be true.

“PC was the lead platform for the game, which launched on September 6.” https://www.gamesindustry.biz/starfield-helps-boost-us-games-revenue-10-in-september-us-monthly-charts

Oh, wow. Crazy. What service did they buy it on? It obviously wasn’t Steam, with just 330k consecutive player max. So where? How can BG3 have gotten almost triple the consecutive max players, as well as currently being #2 top seller with Starfield as #32, and yet Starfield got way more sales, with PC being the majority of those sales, apparently? So the “it’s on Xbox” argument would account for under 50%, since PC is the dominant sales source, which would mean >50%.

But that’s so weird, cuz it’s like Steam has over 75% of the PC gaming sales market. So where did all the figures come from to account for such a massive difference between BG3 Steam sales and Starfield Steam sales? It’s almost like it’s not theoretically possible for BG3 to be #40-50 if Starfield is #7.

Are you following? Is this too hard to think about?

Poor sales because Starfield is a bad game while BG3 and cyberpunk are great.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you, but a simple "Reeee" will suffice next time. You don't need to spew such nonsense, lmao.

Reeeee

Fix'd it for you.

But just in case you have two neurons to rub together, let me explain how the top seller chart works.

If The #1 Game sells 10,000,000 Copies in the first week, it is number 1, and if the #2 Game sells 40 copies it is number two.

Now if the #2 game continues to sell 40 copies every week, but the former Number 1 game only sells 10, after 10 weeks, which games are now ranked 1 and 2 for the weekly charts, and which one overall has sold more?

Put on your thinking cap.

So let me get this straight. You think the number 1 game will sell 99% of its copies in the first week, then completely drop off, and the number 2 game will be steady sales? THAT’S how you think reality works? In ANY industry EVER?
