Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

What should be worrying for Sony (Unless they just plan at throwing loads of cash at shit for years across all their studios) are the lows in concurrent players - That is actually where the lead indicators are of where the game is trending. And that just dropped from 35k to 25k in one night. One would think they would have announced 1 million in unit sales across all platforms as well. Out of 600 friends on PS5 (Finally booted it up) I saw 3 friends owned the game. Zero on Xbox.

There is something unique there though that no one is used to yet, and that is cancellation of the subscription services to enable them to play online - more than half my friends list now do not have a subscription to any PS Plus subscription of any tier which is required to play Marathon obviously. And even more so on the Xbox console. So my guess is what were traditionally strong console sales for bungie is no longer the case as a result of the pay wall for online being cancelled in mass as people are tired of it. That has a major trickle down effect in which games are being purchased.

I end up bringing my gaming rig into the theater room now. I have a small board I place it on so it isn't on the carpet, HDMI Arc Out to my receiver through the OLED, plug in the Wifi 6 antenna and Nova Pro Wireless for when I need a headset, and easily switch sound sources. Xbox Wireless controller - everything works perfectly. Almost getting to the point of selling all the consoles and putting it towards a second gaming rig so I do not have to move it from my office to my other room.
