Tbh its not such an impressive number when you take into account Spiderman and Mario Wonder were on one console only.

Only two of the most recognizable characters in all of popular culture... vs.... a new IP nobody had ever heard of before

They are still trying to downplay the numbers

Bethesda is literally the most famous and well known RPG studio in the world. Skyrim has cemented them to the top. Trying to dismay Starfield as just some new IP is dishonest. There's quite the legacy behind the title and you know it. 

 

For the record, Fallout 4 launched with 12 million copies, had overwhelming pre-orders. Granted Fallout is bound to do better than a new Bethesda IP and was on Playstation also, unlike Starfield.

 

However, considering Starfield is on Gamepass, it's a bit of a flop number to have only 14 million different players. Still good but not that great for Bethesda. The bad critical reception must have hurt it's sales and interest in it.

 

Or the Gamepass userbase is much smaller/insignificant than I think it is. The game is there available to download.

Ah, so you're saying 14M despite not being on the two biggest consoles Playstation and Nintendo.... isn't that great huh.  Not impressive at all eh?

 

If it had released on PS we wouldn't be having this conversation at all.

 

And Mario and Spider-Man are still VASTLY more popular IPs, which appeal to everyone... not just RPG gamers.  They have a MUCH bigger addressable audience than RPG games.

40 hour average playtime too. FACTS >> Feelings 😆

14 million for starfield is a flop but 11 million for Spiderman is an amazing success 

 

 

 

 

this is what they’ve resorted to

For Bethesda, yeah. As proven by Fallout 4 launch number, in 2014. 12m copies shipped at launch vs 14m PLAYERS after months on the market? Lol. 

 

Of course the game would sell on PS5 quite a lot. Hell maybe they would start talking about copies sold instead of players total. Lmfao.

 

I'm not arguing on the basis of the obvious popularity of Mario or Spider Man.

No, it isn't.. The fact that it's been played that much, despite not being on the two biggest consoles, is a testament to how impressive it is.

 

We're talking two consoles with install bases 2-5x bigger...

I never said Spiderman was an amazing success. Learn to read or something, I didn't even mention Spiderman in that post you quoted. 

 

The point is Starfield is not doing great currently on PC/Xbox/Gaypass compared to their other RPGs that has been released from the same studio. Being a new IP isn't even that important when it follow the same template as all their other open world RPGs. 

 

Or Gamepass is that pathetic and doesn't have that big of a pool of active players.

Starfield has already become Bethesda Game Studios’ biggest launch ever, beating previous releases like Fallout 76, Fallout 4, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Idiots still expect 100 percent of userbase to play xbox games.

But for PS5, 5 to 10 percent is success LMAO

It was on Gamepass day one. Stop acting like it's like a full price game trying to sell exclusively on Xbox or some shit.

 

Skyrim is one of the highest selling game of all time on Steam/PC. So what's Starfield excuse exactly? Oh yeah, the game bombed and was seen a massive disappointment. TLHBFR

Going to be amazingly hilarious to watch Starfield be the top selling PS game within a year or so

It's available to download to like 40m subscribers. Are you guys stupid? 6m PLAYERS is no where near the biggest launch of a Bethesda RPG ever. This is absolute PR spin and you're dumb as to post this.

 

6m PLAYERS primarily from Gamepass vs 12 million copies shipped (based on pre-orders).
