Re: What one can learn about Xbox vs. PS players from looking at the K/D leaderboard
@VOLBANKER_PCYou forgot the most obvious one, PS5 simply outsold Xbox, so there simply are more PS5 players.

This is my read too. I'm a big fan of Xbox, but PlayStation does outsell Xbox so the liklihood is that there are just more players on that platform.

Was going to say, the numbers between the two are so different that you'd have to start looking at what % of the playerbase versus just stock numbers.
- @RanzigeRidder2 Yes! I didn’t think of that. I did however write this about # of copies sold of the game:
“ The more players on a console platform, the more players will have a K/D of 3.50 or above, all other things being equal.” - @VOLBANKER_PC Number of copies sold of the game would be per rato related to the number of consoles.
On top of that, I don't know if Xbox has something like PS+ where the game has been on offer for free? As on PS there was a month you could pick up a free copy of the game for a full month, which would've boost the # of copies on PS even further. @RanzigeRidder2 I can't remember if it's been given away free yet like it was for PS+, but we can access a version* of it through Gamepass.
*Might be the last gen version. I can't remember for certain and I'm at work so can't easily check.
- @Anobix Thanks for that info dude. I get a bit mixed up since I've got multiple copies of the game kicking around (disc, digital, EA Play).
Just checked EA Play on my Xbox and can see the X/S version but not the last gen one. Unless it's just showing me that as I'm on my Series X. Thinking about it I could swear that one of my friends plays the last gen one of his XB1X, so I think you're right there too.
Sorry if I'm not making sense with this reoly btw. I'm exhausted right now.

Thanks and here's hoping I can.
- @ElliotLH Look after yourself buddy!
- @ElliotLH The only one who can take care of you, is you. Self care is not a bad thing.
I was reading today that Microsoft is looking to do less exclusive to XBox games, and wants more cross platform sales. It’s a defacto white flag to Sony, who based on consoles sold clearly dominates the market. Was surprised to see the Switch up there at #3. Some Xbox players are POd because they got the console to play those exclusive games like God of War. If they could play them on anything they’d have got a PS lol. Console wars! - @ATFGunr Thanks man, but I'm fine other than being tired.
It's really interesting hearing that about Microsoft and while it is a white flag, the less exclusive games the better imho (I doubt Sony will stop with them though). Then again going back to the 90's/00's for some old school console wars sounds entertaining.
