After keeping tabs on PCgaming/PC Master race reddit the past week, It looks like NMS is only getting it's boost in sales due to those not being satisfied/not expecting what SF was going to be, and as a result they went for NMS.
I imagine people would have gone for Star Citizen, but that game is practically incomplete and known for being expensive, and the game in general is not as open ended/ Easy to get into like hopping into NMS.
That and NMS did release a new wealth of content not too long ago, so it's likely a form of unintended cross pollination.
For me personally, I was never into the SF hype and I know bethesda so I wasn't expecting much. Since I already own NMS, and I'm not up for spending money I don't have on SC, that makes NMS my small fix for space building/pirate life for me until some other space game comes along down the road (last space game before NMS for me was Starbound, way back in 2013).
Until then I await the next 20 years till bethesda decide to release TES VI, and I hope to god that actually holds together this time (and isn't auto generated, I like my lore intact, Todd).
