Lol I don't think she did her research so the internet did it for her.

CrimsonWing69396d ago

Lol, no kidding. It’s a niche series. I think what she did was looked up VGChartz figures and multiplied that by $60.

Games do not sell at $60 constant. That is why first few months are critical for a game's success and then sales hit sometimes 20% to 75% (depending on the game and company). In theory the figure will be lower than million unit sold * $60 in my humble opinion.

The game needs to be multiplat anyway. If it was on PS5 Series X and Still on Switch maybe the devs will be less frugal with paying everyone involved. The game shouldn't be limited to the switches way less powerful hardware. Nothing against Nintendo but being on higher quality hardware with bigger marketing this game could have been almost as popular as Devil May Cry or at least in terms of Bayonetta being a bigger name than what it is now.

Outlawzz396d ago

Given the fact that nintendo supported it when no other company would it definitely should be on switch and if they choose to, only on switch.

The other companies didn't care enough for it, this has been stated over and over again

FallenAngel1984396d ago

Even that doesn’t make sense because the series would’ve had to have at least sold 7.5 million to have made that much. Bayonetta sold less than half that amount

Lol. Prolly not even half that.

Binarycode396d ago

Never understood the hype of these games. overrated imo.

0hMyGandhi396d ago

No one is conflating quality with sales, but you sure are.
Even though this series isn't really my thing, I can totally see why people love them.

Outlawzz396d ago

I don't even like hack and slash games and I'll say the first bayo was pretty fun. Haven't played the other two but they say they only get better.

Have you played the games ? What's overrated ? Your not saying much

"But, but wait, MS wants to be a third party publisher and then at the same time MS is a monopoly!!"

Which one will it be this month folks?

MS is already a third party publisher on both PlayStation and Nintendo. The question I think was whether or not they would exit the console industry and whether they would exit the gaming industry. Here Spencer is saying that he thinks putting GamePass on PS5 and Switch would make the people who bought just Xbox feel like they were getting a bad deal. Which is easy to understand.

First there is no reason for them to exit gaming regardless of what they do. Even if they decide that GamePass wasn't lucrative enough, they have enough content to sell an make tons of revenue off of.

Will they exit the console industry. Maybe in the deep future but why would they exit it when the MAJORITY of their GamePass subscribers are on Xbox and that is their main income stream?

To understand what the CFO was saying...all he meant was that they would take advantage of the huge PS and Nintendo player bases and sell games on those platforms JUST like they do on PC. Just by doing that alone opens them up to massive amounts of potential revenue.

But the people who bought Xbox are already getting a bad deal.

Sony putting out MLB games on other platforms is because of the MLB. They wanted more money and going mulitplatform was their choice. If Sony didn't agree then the MLB wouldn't renew their deal. Also, releasing games on PC just makes sense. More money and people playing their games.
