The other day there was a console release of the repair simulator House flipper, a game that became a sensation in Steam and sold in a million copies. It could be assumed that her audience due to new platforms will grow even more.
However plans Playway did not materialize. It is not yet known how things are on the PlayStation 4, but in the first 72 hours, the owners of Xbox One bought only five thousand copies of the game.
The Polish company not so long ago began to release on the consoles its low-budget unusual simulators. And things went relatively well: for example, 25 thousand copies were sold on both consoles in the first 72 hours Car mechanic simulator, and then the game was completely included in Xbox game pass.
According to journalists, the weak console release is due to the fact that PlayWay is not particularly spent on promotion. Steam mechanisms “work” on the success of the publisher’s games: wish lists, discounts, player reviews. On consoles, this works a little differently.
Not so long ago left Thief simulator and Tank mechanic simulator. And if in the first three days the simulator of the museum of military equipment on the PC sold out in a circulation of 39 thousand copies, then the simulator of the thief on the Xbox One scored only 3 thousand sales.
Low console sales may affect future porting plans for PlayWay sims.
