Yeah PUBG will continue to grow, but Fortnite is far outpacing that growth and likely will continue to from here on out. Player count was 2 million concurrent players 2 weeks ago. Up 1.2m concurrent players in 14 days. They had 5 million new players sign on in 4 days. Over 45 million players. Up 20 million since November. The game hasn't even launched in China yet (the biggest market for PUBG). Fortnite is a much better game all around, better updates, more variety, even a better visual style. The problem PUBG might find on the PS4, is that it's arriving late, an existing game in the genre has had a huge amount of time to establish, and it's not free. |
Can't know what the growth of PUBG is because we're comparing all three platforms Fortnite is on versus only one platform PUBG is on. But I mean... it's the trendy new genre and it's free. Of course it's going to be wildly successful. You can look on Twitch and see all sorts of shitty PUBG clones that have a lot of people playing.
They announced 2 million concurrent players a couple weeks ago but said it hit that "recently", so who knows when it actually did. We can just agree to disagree about the quality, I bought Fortnite day one for the "campaign" mode and greatly enjoyed the BR add on when it came out, but quickly tired of the shit gunplay and shit loot system. I uninstalled it well before PUBG came out, so it's not like I don't play it any more just because PUBG is out. I simply don't enjoy it.
I don't think PUBG will have any issues when it launches on PS4, unless they go crazy and it takes like a year to hit. It's too massive a game. It's sold very well on Xbone and there's a larger audience for online shooters on PSN, it's going to sell a fuckton.
