That's exactly it. The downplay by Xbox fans is insane. Look how many say there's not much exclusives for Playstation. Seriously Demon Souls, Astrobot, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade, then add crossgen Spiderman and Sackboy in 7 months and that's not good enough? That's laughable.
So let's replace those 7 titles in 7 months with say Forza, Halo, Ori, crossgen game like Flight Simulator, Gears 5 then add say Mass Effect as a ...
Really? Didn't they Remaster Gears 1 too?
My bet is before Xbox releases 2 AAA games we'll get about 20 different controllers with varying colours and themes before they release those exclusives. Lol. I'm joking, but, the sad thing is it'll probably happen
What? So by June that's 7 months we got Astrobot, Demon Souls, Returnal and Ratchet and Clank. All Only on PS5. Also in under a year. 3 exclusives in under a year for Xbox would be impressive, but, since it's Playstation, there's 'nothing' or 'not much to play. Uhh okay there.
If Xbox had 3 to 4 exclusives within a short period like Playstation you guys would be screaming at the top of your lungs how great Xbox is doing with 'exclusives'...
I don't know. If we look at Ubisoft and EA sales reports Playstation sales are always double or more than Xbox. I wouldn't imagine Japanese games would be any different. Just look at Nier Replicant which also launched to 80% 20% split just like this one. Xbox gamers always say they buy games, but, when it comes to sales the excuse is they bought it digital. Where Playstation digital sales overall literally destroy Xbox completely in every way, so I would be doubtful of the digita...
@Teflon
I pre-ordered mine and when I went to pick up Returnal the sales associate said they only had 3 copies that weren't preorders and they sold out 20 minutes after the store opened. So no one was prepared. They just turned away people after that.
There is no split because the Series X and regular Xbox One release is the only one release. No way to know how that splits, but, either way it only amounts to 20% overall which is pretty pathetic
Probably want to play that one like Nyxus suggested. Not sure why would play the 2nd game and not the 1st one. Especially since you're going to want to understand why the character is the way he is.
Just looking at Nier Replicant sales and yeah that's true. Xbox fans always say we want this blah blah blah, but, when it comes to buying and supporting these releases? Absolutely trash sales.
@Speak and Logic
You guys seem to think it makes no sense for this game to be timed exclusive why?! Xbox fans don't even buy these games in any way shape or form. The vast majority of sales will be Playstation and it won't even come close. Just look at Nier Replicant in the UK which is one of the bigger Xbox markets and what 80-90% of the sales were on Playstation. FF VII broke sales records on Playstation. Guys are absolutely delusional if you think anything h...
It definitely was a failure. They tarnished their reputation and the companies net worth dropped by $1 Billion. If you look at units sold without seeing the rest then yeah you could technically classify it as a 'success'. This bad release may effect them for years to come. Don't forget they're getting sued by 2 major law firms in addition to their networth/stock values dropping.

Its a bit confusing about the constant complaints, do people not think that games go on sale regularly?! Not playing it day 1 isn't going to kill anyone. If $70 is an issue then how the hell did the $500 purchase for the PS5 happen?! It's a luxury hobby here not some necessity like food, but, everyone here is making it seem like they're being starved to death. I would gladly put aside the money I would have spent on junk food for example and save it for a game I want.
"Lol it wwas already debunked about xbox movie their rates down"
Maybe they're waving the publishing fees then? Not sure what has them working with Xbox, but, its great news that Xbox fans can get in more regularly with LRG goodness regardless
Damn. I screwed myself on that Reconstructor and lost all my ether by messing up on the 1st boss back to back. 😓
Damn..... I died 3 times already.... good tips though will have to try to get that astronaut statue didn't know that's what it did. Spending the 6 ether to get that clone is good too. Too bad I had a bad run right after being brought back. 😆
I didn't have a health vial and was a sliver away from beating the 1st boss. 😆
Also thought I got those bats under control..... then the next time I died its like they heard my thoughts and changed it to a small area full of them. Damn bats barreling into me. Plus that mini boss that doesn't show up all the time with those purple barrier lasers fencing the area. Going to beat biome 1 today! Err.... Hopefully
@frostypants
I get that they're charging the same. It feels like to me at least that they're seeing what Housemarque can do. If it goes well I'm assuming Playstation might purchase them and invest I to making them a bigger true AAA studio. But who knows. I'm quite enjoying the experience so far. Finally made it to the boss of the 1st biome and got that sword!
Appreciate the sensible counterpoint! Forgot that the price was in line wi...
The main reason was that the minimum print runs for Playstation and Nintendo are a lot smaller than Xbox. I heard Xbox was planning to drop their minimum, so its probably happening. They actually spoke about this in an interview they did a long time ago about how LRG got started and why they had the small runs. Basically they couldn't afford to sit on product so they went with the companies that had small print runs.
I think the Playstation runs were like 5000 units ...
"Over Time"
Doesn't Gamepass grow its library 'Over time?! Last I checked they did.
Hit the nail on the head, it's a combination of games, graphics and clear path to exclusives. Playstation ends generations with a bang, just look at the end of PS3 releasing TLOU etc then look at the end of PS4 with Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy VII, TLOU2, 13 Sentinels etc. Then to start this gen 7 months into June we got Returnal, Astrobot, Ratchet and Clank, Demon Souls, FF VII Integrade and crossgen Spiderman and Sackboy and according to Xbox fans that's not a big deal. ...
