I have to say my favorite part of helldivers (and palworld honestly) success is that (in addition to MS multiplat shift) it makes the COD antitrust arguments looks so hilarious in retrospect.

Remember when PS said they would die if COD was taken away because nothing could possibly match it. And they got the FTC to parrot that

Weird defense of a trillion dollar company buying the biggest third party publisher in the industry and even weirder attack on an antitrust entity doing their job of scrutinizing the biggest transaction in the history of gaming.

It's a travesty that it passed through Microsoft's shady lobbyists and I don't think anyone should be cheering for that, especially since the aquisition already caused layoffs due to redundancy.

So For Feb 2023 I have

PS5: 560K
NSW: 290K
XBX: 240K

Feb 2024

PS5: 360K (-33%)
NSW: 210K (-28%)
XBS: 195K (-19%)

So Xbox is down 19% which means PS5 has to be down the most to bring overall hardware down 30% because it is the most expensive , Switch because it's the cheapest and has to be above XBS in units.

These calculations don't work because revenue is down 19%+ each and overall 30%, not units.
PS5 had a way higher average selling price last year due to the GoW bundle being $560 and almost no cheaper DE being offered.

Astrogamer · Mar 21, 2024

Based on the Sensor Tower numbers from this 4gamer article, we can now estimate the monthly mobile revenue. 17% higher than last year would be around $1.425 billion.

Edit: So this turns the non-mobile revenue to $2.72 billion which is a 1% drop from last year

So how much cheaper on average is PS5 than last Feb do you think? 10% cheaper would mean around 40K more units.

I prefer to base my thinking on law and evidence rather than just demonizing companies based on their size.

What have we seen after the merger?

MS shifting more games multiplat (+)
MS allowing more unions (+)
MS promising COD on current platforms and expanding to Nintendo (+)
MS doing layoffs (-)

I'd rather not be trapped in the mindset of large corporation = bad

For 2023

For an individual PlayStation platform yes.

~1/3rd of PS5 sales were the digital model which costs $450 and 2/3rds were the standard model which costs $500. This means the ASP was ~$483.

PS5 ASP in Feb 2023 was above $500 since a decent portion of sales came from the $550 God of War Ragnarok Bundle and sales of the digital model were tiny.

Kowalski · Mar 21, 2024

Like religion and politics, I don't discuss Final Fantasy on the internet.

However, do yourself a favor and don't try to compare sales of a game launched in 2024 with one launched in 2020 during March or later.

This is one of the things I hate most about Matt's report every month.
With all due respect to his efforts, game performance is just data that is put forward for analysis. Taking into account game fans "feelings" is, to say the least, strange.

Damage2 · Mar 21, 2024

Final Fantasy fans really broke the man.

He should give data about how it compare with FF16, just like the Europe guys did it.

Yeah I think 10% cheaper makes sense.
Average price of Xbox might have changed too, but that's way more complicated due to unknown Series X : S ratio (Series X was still supply constrained last February, while the S still had the $50 holiday discount)

It's not really due to fan feelings, if I had to guess, it's more about his own mental health in using that hellscape of a website. One could imagine that revealing more concrete numbers would likely(almost certainly)lead to more abuse and also more blocking required.

Damage2 · Mar 21, 2024

He did it the same with Xenoblade 3, despite both games not games not having digital to compare lol

Almost all FF threads, tweets, etc end up in warring. It brings Nintendo, Xbox, Sony and FF stans to the ring.

That's not what I'm saying. These games (Helldivers,Palworld, higwarts) show a dynamic market.

The idea that if COD left PS that PS would suddenly die or be unable to find or create a replacement is what is laughable.

The idea that COD alone is sacred and needs to be open to all lest the market be doomed to monopoly is and remains a fiction

The success of Helldivers is in no way, shape, or form evidence that Sony (or anyone else for that matter) can create a replacement for COD. These two games are on completely different planes in terms of their revenue potential.

1: What Acti/Blizz games that wouldn't have been multiplatform suddenly became multiplatform due to the merger?

2: Ah yes, the notoriously pro-union Microsoft, which only started allowing unions very recently due to external pressure, which would come to Activision anyway.

3: CoD would already come to current platformsr egardless of the merger. Nintendo was a wildcard, but if Switch 2 can handle it an it's successful I can't see why Acti/Blizz wouldnt support it... They already currently do with games feasible on the platform.

4' And yes, people lost their their jobs due to that merger.

Antitrust laws exist around the world, those laws are what caused regulatory bodies like the FCC to be formed.

And it's not about demonizing companies because of size (even though we should, as trillion dollar companies and billionaires shouldn't exist anyway), but size is the most relevant point of anti-trust investigation... Small companies buying smaller companies wouldn't even be able to do anything to stifle competition.

By then it was all Nintendo games, since Nintendo doesn’t share any digital. Totk and Kirby got the same thing.

As I've said before I don't want to derail this into another ABK/MS thread but tell you what feel free to message me when we see the stifling of competition from the merger

There is no doubt they exaggerated. But there is no denying a CoD franchise that only released games on PC and Xbox would naturally lead to a decline in Playstation's position and a loss of market share, so of course they did all they could to stop that from happening.

The difference will always be that CoD is guaranteed success, games like Helldivers are never guaranted successes, and that unpredictability is what companies like Sony dislikes.

ps5 is doing really well actually. maybe it’ll get closer to their forecast than i thought.

It was a mistake, meant to link the tweet where he says Xbox series was actually the best performer relative to other consoles.

Xbox is more and more becoming a console just for the US market, where Xbox is now dead everywhere else in the world it is still a viable alternative to PS in the US market. No wonder Sony moved PS HQ to the US, because Xbox has the potential to take market share from PS in the US market.

Yea, it really doesn’t tell us anything. Especially with Jan/Feb being notoriously slow sales months and software being down overall.

Suicide Squad being the next best selling game right after FF7 Rebirth for the year doesn’t install either with much confidence, imo.

Sealife01 said:
Suicide Squad held better than I thought

Really hard to say when all software is low. I mean, how much do we think Skull and Bones sold in 2 weeks?

I'm not the one you replied to, but ~410k in February is historically extremely good. And March will have the big US discounts.
Together with the EU + UK discounts it's not far fetched to expect 4.5m+ PS5s this quarter, which would be higher than any other Q4 for PS4 and PS5 (except the insane Q4 in 2023)

Flakster99 · Mar 21, 2024

Helldivers 2 is a fun game, nice to see it perform this well.

Kowalski · Mar 21, 2024

Overall, it seems that the PlayStation 5 is continuing its exceptional performance in the US if it has really sold 420-450k units.
The console has been performing better than any period for the PlayStation 4 since the second half of 2022. I hope Sony finds a solution for the device's pricing to continue this momentum.
As for Helldivers 2, it is an amazing and well-deserved success for PSS and Arrowhead team, who would have expected it?! Overall, a great month for Sony.

Whats a Gyme · Mar 21, 2024

Amazing performance for Helldivers 2, and Rebirth. I like that Rebirth placed twice, at #2 and #8 (due to the twin pack, but still).

Sharp drop for hardware, unfortunately. Though over 400k for PS5 doesn't sound that terrible.

Switch 2 can't come soon enough.

what the other user said. these are astonishingly good sales for feb, and only a little down yoy from an absolutely crazy Q1 last year. i thought it would be down a significant amount more, and im kind of confused as to why it’s doing so well tbh (helldivers is huge but majority of its sales are on pc & i really doubt ff7 is driving anything)

Ah ok. Yea if they can actually sell 4.5 million ps5’s WW this quarter that would be a good sign and unexpected considering the last financial report. I’m still skeptical about that though.

Damage2 · Mar 21, 2024

Suicide Squad is doing better that expected in the USA, probably the biggest market for the game, its outselling Persona 3 Reload, for example .

it is more possible for Cod to decline very hard in the next 5-10 years in terms of sales, popularity and revenues (and even that is not guaranteed at all, personally I expect a decline but not a huge decline in this period of time ) than for someone to replicate his success

StrazakGoz · Mar 21, 2024

I would say that:
-Xbox Series S/X unit decline % > dollar decline %, based on the fact that last year they sold more Series S units since the X was still hard to find;
-PS5 unit decline % < dollar decline %, digital PS5 reached more than 1/3 of the overall sales, last year they sold much fewer of them and I assume GoW bundels were the majority of sales.

The problem for that is the PS5 needs to be up in some territories or flat in nearly all territories to reach 4.5 million. Currently, sales seem down. Unlike last year, there was a noticeable amount of stock leftover from Q3 so being 25% down does not really equal the same level of shipments.

Geno062 · Mar 21, 2024

Special or collector editions of games are included in these rankings ?

I think bundle (sold with console) are not so maybe Rebirth is actually a bit higher ?

You are not wrong, but I still expected it to do worse. Ranking wise it did a lot worse in other markets for Feb didn't it?

I think he has a pretty good point there. FF7 Remake was at the start of the pandemic when everyone was looking for games to buy. Rebirth doing slightly worse shouldve been expected on the back of this alone.

Yeah. Its cool that a multiplayer game can get this sort of crazy success, but it always happens that a new CoD will come out and people will go back to CoD. Its stood the test of time for two generations now.

Magic · Mar 21, 2024

The Xbox performance this generation in the USA has been very disappointing. I really thought they'd be more competitive with the Series S at $299 and Game Pass.

Malden · Mar 21, 2024

Those are some pretty decent holds like Tekken, Suicide Squad, and Persona 3. Shoot Mario Kart is even back up a spot. Skull and Bones did ok given its development hell. Mario+DK good start for physical only and I think $50.

Forgot about the twin pack for FF7 so seeing both versions chart is a welcomed sight. Just hope it has legs.

I'm not against his point, but I'm against not presenting the information.
Of course, fanboys will try to twist any information to fit their narrative, whether it's with or against the game.
This should not affect the matter of presenting the information to those interested so that they can benefit, analyze, and discuss it.

You both misread what Mat was saying in that tweet. That first part is mostly a joke and you two are kind of proving the point unironically...

The second part is about the comparison between Rebirth and 7Remake is flawed because 7R was at the start/boom of the pandemic spending, so Rebirth isn't going to be in the most 1:1 comp.

Josh5890 · Mar 21, 2024

My random thoughts for February:

It cannot be said enough but congrats to Arrowhead for their success with Helldivers 2!
Despite not having Hogwarts Legacy launch this year, games sales are slightly up for the month YOY.
Hardware was a bloodbath though. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S desperately need a price cut.
Point to the above point, the market really really needs Nintendo to launch new hardware.
Didn't expect Mario vs DK to chart.
Skull & Bones at 4 is a surprise as well.
The PS Portal seems to be selling decent enough.
At what point does Mario Kart 8 stop charting?

Jin+Jang · Mar 21, 2024

Despite drop in sales, over 400k during Feb. is a very good result. Happy for Helldivers 2 and FF7 Rebirth ( with few days of tracking )

Josh5890 said:

XSeries was on sales throughout the whole Feb in Best Buy and Walmart IIRC. PS5 received 50$ price cut during mid Feb. But surely +400k during Feb. for PS5 really isn't bad by any means

I wouldn't exactly call putting the PS5 digital version back to it's original launch price from Nov 2020 a real price cut.

GamingCJ · Mar 21, 2024

The $50 discounts on PS5 (Disc and DE) happened in March, not February.

For context:
PS5 sold better this February than PS4 did in February 2017, when it got a $50 temporary price cut on top of the $100 price cut from several months before.
PS5 ($499 + SM2) > PS4 ($249 + Uncharted 4)

It happend in the last week of February for the Disc version in some places like Walmart and Best Buy.
