| Sephiran said: Pretty crazy that MH Wilds can't have a bigger launch on 3 big platforms day 1 than what TOTK had on just the Switch. Is the PC market smaller than most people think? If Steam was much bigger than Switch in terms of user base, how can big Switch only games have a bigger launch than big PC launches (Plus Xbox and PS)? |
Steam has about 40 million active users. Also, why is platform totals your only measuring stick here for software sales, without considering the IPs themselves? It's like saying "How come Splatoon 3 had a smaller opening than Spiderman 2 when the Switch userbase is so much bigger than the PS5?"
EDIT: Actually the 40 million number is max concurrent users so that is not the appropriate metric. Second part of the post still stands.
