I meant Worldwide ( With PC) , EA expects 5-6 Million by end of March.
I would agree....
except Mario Maker is on the way and will totally cannibalize it's legs.
I had to lookup Jump Force to even know what that game was...
That is the #2 game of the month?
My buying habits have become completely juxtaposed to the market.

We'll see but it will be difficult imo
Worldwide
Well there goes Crackdown's chances of being a pillar Xbox Franchise. I'll be surprised if they even make DLC on it.
Does Crackdown 3 MP have MTX? It's gonna need it.

How? They're nowhere close to that by all information released.
To be fair, Crackdown 3 was going to comb with or without Gamepass. This is too small of a polling sample to determine anything. And I'm one of those people that isn't fully on board with the idea that Gamepass increases retail sales. I'm still waiting for more proof one way or the other.
2 mi WW? I can see it. Probably even more, I wouldn't be there surprised if it crossed the 3 mi mark, although not by much.
Won't get anywhere near 6 mi though.
You need to check the pal charts for some clarification because it's doing abysmally there.
How are any of y'all surprised Jump Force charted well?
I get that Era is historically terrible at predicting sales, but Jesus Christ guys, look at both the total views and like/dislike ratios of any Jump Force trailer on YouTube. Look at the properties that were most prominently featured. It'd be a bigger surprise if Jump Force didn't do well

Crackdown 3 is one of the most poorly received exclusives of this generation.
This isn't damning to Game Pass or Xbox or whatever, it's just a reflection on the poor quality of Crackdown 3.
It was already known that they won't reach it. Nintendo revised the forecast to 17M.
Then what's the explanation for 'Crackdown 3' charting so low? It doesn't even appear in the Xbox One TOP 10.
The bad critical reception is not a valid argument, because other games with bad critical reception like 'Fallout 76' or 'Anthem' charted much higher.
And let's not forget that this was a game featured through various E3s, Microsoft conferences and that was anticipated for years.
Bad critics and bad word of mouth can affect the game, sure, but not as to chart so low.
And I was putting the example of games with its main focus on the single player, releasing day and date on Game Pass.
I'm sure that in other cases, like legacy titles with various years in the market, Game Pass will have the opposite effect, of rejuvenating the popularity and increasing the sales.
If US sales from 10 days were in the 1+ million range discounting PC digital and only counting the United States, then globally, tracking across Feb+March it's conceivable that they will reach that goal, or at least not fall too far short of it.
It really doesn't. We had other examples that did well (Mutant Year Zero was a financial success according to Funcom and that released on Game Pass day 1). This result is more due to Crackdown's 3 reception, both in public perception and by the critics.
You have absolutely 0 evidence to support this idea besides 1 flop.
Are you actually saying that a game that spent most of it's time in development highlighting the MP and it's cloud tech had a single player focus in marketing?
You just seem ill informed here. All of MS's first party games had strong single player components (besides SOT) since Game Pass inception, and all did well. You are (apparently with a heavy bias) jumping to wild conclusions here.
bad games can sell good
bad games can sell bad
depends on how you market them
That is the meat and potatoes for me, this game was suppose to be the highlight reel for the Azure cloud. But is that tech even in the same place as when the game was first announced?
It's Crackdown 3. The game was poorly received and most didn't care even before that. Do you really think the game would have done much better if it wasn't on Gamepass?
We know Japan was around 100k roughly to date, UK is around maybe 100k (last I saw was 40k physical). That's an extra 200k from some of the biggest markets. Even if you double the US sales for PC digital, which is being super generous, you're still getting to around 2.4 to 2.5 million. It's just nowhere close by all known metrics.
"Jump Force debuted as February's second best-selling game. Launch month sales volume of Jump Force is the third highest total ever achieved for a title published by Bandai Namco Games. Jump Force is currently the fourth best-selling game of 2019 (year to date)."
I suppose it at least launched better than DBFZ.
Am guessing the first two spots for Bamco games would be Souls.
Oh I didn't know they moved it to 17 I had just heard they wouldn't hit 20. Where are they at now?
