Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is selling better on PS5 than it is on Xbox and Steam, analyst firm Alinea Analytics predicts.

A year ago when the Fallout TV show came out, Microsoft had more best-selling first-party games on the PlayStation Store than Sony did. This trend showed the full extent of Microsoft's owned IPs and illustrated PlayStation gamers' willingness to buy Xbox exclusives. The latter is something Microsoft has counted on and PlayStation has now reinforced itself as an integral part of its competitor's business.

While we typically can't exactly quantify the results of these trends in precise numbers, analyst firms track the performance of these games in their respective online stores and make predictions. According to Alinea Analytics, Bethesda's big-budget Indiana Jones game is actually selling better on PlayStation than it is on Xbox and Steam--a trend that may speak to the conditioning of these subset of consumers.

Alinea also notes that PlayStation gamers appeared to wait for the full version of the game rather than buy the premium early access version:

"Ultimately, the PS5 version's sales outpaced the Steam ones as soon as the 'real' PlayStation launch period kicked off on April 17. Indiana Jones has now sold over 300K copies on Steam after four months. We expect the PlayStation version to outdo that."

Check below for quick stats from Alinea's prediction:

"While our estimates show that just under 5 million Xbox players have checked out Indiana Jones & the Great Circle, the overwhelming majority of these came in via Game Pass.

"Indiana Jones is selling faster on PlayStation than it is on Steam so far. While it launched on 8 December on Steam and April 17 on PlayStation, we've aligned the data below to show the period 4 days before and 6 days after launch for each platform:
