Xbox Game Pass doesn't decrease game sales

According to what was reported by NPD analyst Matt Piscatella, Xbox Game Pass not only would not cannibalize the sales of the games, but would make them grow, thanks to the networking effect.

Piscatella's words are not to be taken lightly, because they start from precise numbers, which are those in the hands of NPD, the analysis company that counts the trend of the US market every month:

"Still no signs that the Xbox Game Pass cannibalizes sales, but many signs that the Game Pass increases sales thanks to the networking effect. The debate continues ..."




That the Xbox Game Pass is sustainable by now should be clear enough, as it should be ascertained that the sales of the games are not penalized by the inclusion in the subscription service, which indeed helps them (as confirmed by several indie developers). It remains to be seen whether this will always happen in the future, but for now the picture is quite clear and is confirmed month after month by the data provided by NPD. By now those who say the opposite are simply denying a reality that is there for all to see.
