@LifeGirl It's the other way around. Terminally online nerds have convinced themselves these nitpicks matter, whereas in the real world people are seeing a great device with great games being sold for a justifiable cost, and buying it in droves

I am going to be honest, I am already not paying for PS+, and I haven't for a couple years now. The price increases in Canada ultimately caused the price of even Essential to go up to $80 a year, and I am not comfortable paying that much every year for something that I am mostly only using for cloud saves and very infrequent online play.

This is actually an area where Nintendo comes out ahead; NSO's cheapest tier is absurdly cheap even in the absolute worst possible case (single person paying annually), and options to mitigate the cost like the family groups can bring the cost down even lower. It's incredibly hilarious to me that the only online I am currently paying for is NSO, because the couple dollars I pay for it a year is proportionate to my usage for it (which is cloud backup and intermittent online play).

Game Pass and PS+ both priced me out 🤷

No *****? Why wouldn’t it be?

@Amnesiac Hey, I shared numbers for Atomic Heart too, which did better on the cutting edge PS5 than it did anywhere else.

My point was more that PushSquare often tends to be selective with sales charts reporting when it can make their preferred system look bad, and I feel that's just not a good way to report news. And I extend this criticism to Nintendo Life and Pure Xbox as well, fwiw. I just think news should be consistently reported

@Amnesiac the full charts have a breakdown lol

“ Next up, Octopath Traveler II debuts at number six, which is entirely respectable for what is effectively a very niche RPG franchise from Square Enix. In terms of the sales split, the game comfortably sold the most on Switch at 74%, with the PS5 making up 24%, and the PS4 2%”

.
“We've also got Atomic Heart entering the charts at number seven. It's worth noting that the former was a day one release on Game Pass, so Xbox sales only made up 13% of the split.”

I find it fascinating that you happened to not provide platform splits for games like Octopath 🤔

@Fiendish-Beaver Functionally staring at a 55 inch screen from 10 feet away and staring at a 7 inch screen from 3 feet away is more or less the exact same amount of strain on your eyes ¯(ツ)/¯

@uptownsoul I mean you are objectively wrong about Neo sales, but go off

@uptownsoul nope

@Tom-Smo Switch 67%, PS4 33%
