Ninsect on 12 January 2015

"Lots of people kept saying "people only play Minecraft in multiplayer", well turns out almost exactly 50% of players are in SP at any moment

It actually hit 1.4 million on Saturday evening. Slightly more impressive, but not that much!"

Wow, that's a lot.

Which other games had over a million players at the same time?

World of Warcraft, League of Legends and World of Tanks for sure, Dota 2 should be there soon.

Woah that's huge. Thank you Microsoft, we are humbled.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

What about angry birds and candy crush ? lulz

Edit : just checked, dota 2 average is 540k atm, peak at 950k. my bad.

WoW had very high peaks when new expansions came out.

Oh, I've read that CrossFire had over 4 million concurrent players.

Well, and there are mobile and Facebook games...

And they say PC gaming is dead and not popular anymore.
