>In the media and on gaming communities of late, there’s been a humongous emphasis on Steam concurrent player numbers.
>Now Nacon has hit back at the idea that this data is representative of a game’s overall success, noting that for Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, the vast majority of its players are on PS5.
>“A lot of players are watching Steam [concurrent] numbers because they’re the only statistics available. But the Steam community for Test Drive Unlimited is not the biggest, and the difference can be very big between PS5, which is the most active platform for our game. So, we know people are looking at Steam because it’s the only numbers available, but trust me it’s not representative at all.”
uhhh...steamsisters? I thought we were the most popular?

kids are all ps5/iphone

when they turn teenager they switch to pc

but the demographic for games is still largely kids

Steam is a dying platform, being quickly eclipsed by Gamepass and Epic Game Store. Valve had everything and squandered it.

Sorry, I won't care what anyone has to say until they give me actual numbers like Steam does. If it's not representative then release your own numbers.
Until then, not my problem.

>Microsoft and Ubisoft are putting all their money on their game subscription service
>Retards only ever talk talk about the games selling less copies and how player numbers don't count
You can think that this is stupid all you want. But it is working according to their plans.

Right. Solar crown finally came out, i completely forgot

>like we have tons of players, like... a lot. I can't give you numbers but like... a lot.

Anon, Ubisoft just got bought out by Tencent to stave off collapse.
That's not "working."

Man I hope they price the GTA6 Pro bundle at 499$. I own a Pro and wouldn’t feel ripped off at all, I put a thousand hours on that piece of shit already. Worth every dime. Imagine how good it would sell

Who are these people trying to trick? It's a very poorly received game with barely any players. The fuck are these fuckers on about?

Release the PS5 player numbers, and there'll be an end to the suffering

>>716079320 (OP)
If they don't want people to use steam statistics then maybe the industry should start showing console statistics too.

but we all know they won't. until then it's just 'trust me bro'.

If you lose most of your players on one platform, it's safe to assume that your other platforms aren't doing well either.
They're free to put a concurrent player tracker on their website if those numbers are so great.

Most of those aren't people playing games. It's majority people with valve's bloatware on startup. Could you imagine how many users Microsoft could claim are using the Microsoft store just because they're signed into windows?

I switched from PC back to PS5 once my graphics card aged out. It was cheaper than upgrading my graphics card and it unironically just works
