| trasharmdsister12 said: In addition to other great points brought up (better sales performance because they're released day and date, the genres/gameplay loops span more interest from the PC crowd, the multiplayer focus encourages a longer tail end) I think one major consideration to make that makes this entire comparison somewhat dubious (especially if we compare 24h peaks) is that XGS very recently (ended yesterday) had a publisher sale on Steam. So the player stats would be inflated over this time (especially near the closing of the sale) as more people are motivated to purchase these titles on sale and check them out. |
That's a good point. I was not aware that there was a sale recently. I will check back in a couple of weeks to see how the player numbers is affected.
But I will say though, SoT, FH5 and MFS have all been in the best selling top 100 for dozens of weeks now (with SoT being in there for more than 120 weeks in its previous round). That's not something that can be achieved with a couple of weeks promotion.
