XxEvil AshxX Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 PS5's attach rate is still about 10% right now, iirc. Games like Spider-Man 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are "under-performing" compared to their prequels, but those prequels released on PS4, which had 100+ million units out there. PS5 has like, half that. Even if a game only has a 10% attach rate to a specific console, that's still 10% you wouldn't have access to. Xbox is somewhere around 25 to 30 million consoles (from what I hear) and that might not sound like a lot, but that's still 2 or 3 million potential copies sold of your game that you're choosing to ignore by not supporting it. If the devs don't see the value in it though, that's their choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the devs don't see the value in it though, that's their choice. Devs and publishers would generally value PC and Switch ports ahead of Series consoles. Larger install bases, and there's still very much a culture of buying all the things there. Plus Microsoft is known to pay for ports to happen to sustain Games Pass. Perhaps that doesn't help the little guy as much now with the supposed low-balling, but the Segas of the world are probably loving it.

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 I know people don't watch videos/read articles and instead just react to the headline. The discussion was around Microsoft forcing developers to make a version that supports Series S, and how that is difficult for some of them, particularly considering on how little some of them are selling on that platform.
