This just in... My prediction was wrong. Off by 70,000! Damn, close though (Still have tomorrow). Still standing by the 2 million - 2.5 million this weekend.

Blizzard games have a community for decades. Warcraft III is still played by about 7,000 people on weekends 15 years after release. Starcraft was huge for 12 years before the release of Starcraft II. I still think Starcraft original is big. Same with Diablo, Diablo II, and World of Warcraft. As for sales I'm sure PUBG will blow Overwatch out of the water and no way Overwatch will hit over 1.5 million concurrent players (maybe at release on all devices). Overwatch will last longer, PUBG will grow huge fast and probably die fast.

PC gamers are fickle, one wrong move and your game is hated by everyone. (Happened to COD, happened to GTA, and will most likely happen to PUBG)

Well PuB seems to be what those gamers wanted out of a BR game, meanwhile I'm expecting the next iteration of Assassins Creed to both run and sell poorly on PC, mainly because Ubisoft doesn't give a damn and they've burnt many bridges over the years. They can be fickle at times, there is sometimes loyalty within some groups on PC, but it's often true that if you burn them a few times, they will most definitely hold disdain for you for years if not indefinitely. 

I think PuB has done quite well for itself so far, though it's likely to taper off at some point, it will still have sold better than most other games on the platform this year. I don't expect Destiny 2 to rival and outsell PuB on PC, mostly because it's been delayed, it's awfully generic for an MMO FPS and it's locked to Battlenet.
