Microsoft seeks to explain its own admission Xbox Game Pass lowers base game sales
Microsoft has issued a statement in response to its own admission that titles entering Xbox Game Pass sell fewer copies in the 12 months following their addition to the service.
Yesterday, GamesIndustry.biz highlighted a line from the UK Competition and Markets Authority's provisional report on Microsoft's attempted Activision Blizzard takeover, published last week, in which Microsoft stated that a title's inclusion in Game Pass resulted in a subsequent decline in base game sales.
"Microsoft... submitted that its internal analysis shows a [redacted] percent decline in base game sales 12 months following their addition on Game Pass," the CMA stated.
