>b-but muh Steam charts...
Console playerbase is the actually relevant more numerous playerbase, why is it so hard for PC gamers to accept? Steam CCU means nothing and tells absolutely nothing about game's actual success and community.

>the numbers we don't reveal and you can't ever know are great
My dad works at Sony and he says it's true

>>716124398 (OP)
Execs seethe every day over the fact that steam reports player numbers. Yeah I'm sure gonna trust them when they report player numbers no one can validate from their platform.

>>716124398 (OP)
100 console keks are worth one pc god and I'm being generous, it's like comparing filipinos to Americans

>>716124398 (OP)
I think the TDU Ultimate mod has a bigger playerbase than SC

He's right but the indians here are obsessed with muh steam charts. They aren't indicative of anything except how many people are currently playing

>>716124398 (OP)
Holy copium

>>716124398 (OP)
its been like this since the 90s. PCfags got a game or two where PCs had a bigger player base and now they got full of hot air and think them steam charts represent 50% of the market

You can literally log into Helldivers 2 (Sony first party game) and see that it has less than 1/5th of the PC playerbase at any time, and that's ignoring that the Steam charts number only includes people without hidden profiles.

Arguing that console is where sales happen is kind of fucking retarded in a day where every major company from Capcom to Squeenix and even Sony release reports to their investors saying that they're only doing multiplatform because console games don't sell.

>>716125615
All things being equal , other simracers on PS5 should have even bigger audiences then and this is still bottom tier on "community". U less this game is a special snowflake and this whole "ps5 numbers big" only applies to it.

It's ok, they are technically not lying because there are probably 200 players on the PS5 so is by far their biggest community

>>716124398 (OP)
>The players you can't check are the important ones!
Yeh... yeh...
Why is your game played exclusively by spics btw?

>>716124398 (OP)
I like the steam chart threads for single player games the most, really hammers home just how fucking retarded this board is.

>>716124459
lol

And maybe people would care about console concurrent player counts if consoles had the balls to release them.

>>716126005
And how exactly are all-time peak numbers not representative of the launch sales of the single player game. Unless the game actually goes free, the peak always represents the launch

>>716124398 (OP)
>people talk about the numbers they have access to
>people don't talk about the numbers they don't have access to
woah that's crazy

>>716124398 (OP)
Is the ratio of PC racists to PS5 racists disproportionate for this game, as opposed to other racers? If yes, why? If no, then steam charts are fair game.

K. Stellar Blade has a peak of 120k. E33 has a peak of 144k. That means Stellar Blade has about 85% of E33's sales on PC going by peak players.

It doesn't. It has 50 to 65% depending on which trackers you use. Peak players, CCU is just retards trying to bait.

>>716126496
Sorry, I'm an idiot, Stellar Blade has 192k peak players, E33 has 145k according to SteamDB.

>>716124398 (OP)
I don't trust anyone who says anything positive about Playstation at this point, it's a trash platform with zero games

>>716126496
Ignoring the incredibly cunty disingenuous example of a game that had been released for a full year on one platform before releasing elsewhere, would you like to post your supposed sources for sales of Expedition 33 and Stellar Blade? We're totally gonna ignore that Stellar Blade was exclusive for one year, by the way. No need to revisit that one, as much of a cocksucker as you would have to be to use this example. Just want to know about your accurate source for sales, and not discuss the above.

>>716124398 (OP)
As I recall that game plays like ass, compared to racing games 2 generations old.
Just searching up some people playing it real quick... yeah it's ass. Who the fuck cares what that dev thinks?

doesn't ps have that thing where subscribers can play the game for free and sony gives the devs pennies for it?

people ITT are actually getting upset because more people are playing a game on a console
lol

>Veilguard 89k peak.

Brutal mogging.

>>716124459
this clearly has 6 million console players, chud

May I see the numbers?

>>716127049
No.

>>716127378
I don't read the whole tread, just the OP and the latest 5 comments

>>716127049
Absolutely not, sir.

why are PC fags so insecure that they don't even like it when more people play a multi-plat on console?

>>716127642
It's shocking how much of /v/ is playing on a 10-year-old minimum PC, it's just jealousy.

Its true

Every time someone asks why shit like COD or the EA sports games haven't died off yet its because there are like 12 million on playstation alone, xbox is probably roughly the same

Dont know why its so hard to imagine that a console is a far more common gift for a child. Buying a child a pc shitbox that costs tipple the consoles prices is not the road most people take.

>the TDU fanbase is absolutely ravenous for more content, but is generally a super nice fanbase with a deep love for the franchise
>TDSC ends up being a GaaS-loaded, knockoff Forza that's always online with a huge focus on PVP

Man, sucks being a TDU fan, I've had Solar Crown on my wishlist forever and I check on it every now and then, but nope, no good news, ever.

For a time PC gaming was set to overtake consoles, then GPU prices doubled, then shortly after the next gen came around 50% even more expensive for 10% more power.

An RTX 5090 is almost quadruple the cost of a base ps5, triple that of a ps5 pro

What games faggot there are what 5 shitstation games.

>>716124459
So OP's back is blown the fuck out.

TDU PS5 is maybe MAYYYYYBE 1,007 players. Congrats to them, I guess.

Oh! Thats easy
if 20% of the player base is on steam and it only peaks at 20 that means on PS5 it's probably around 100 or so.
Not many games are huge on one system then dead on another outside of rare cases.

Why does Sony hide the numbers?
>>716124459
Oh right kek

PSnumbers are like GamePass numbers, important for tricking investors/shareholders.
6 gorilion players for flops like Assassin Creed Black Lives Matter

>>716124459
Goddamn they got 190 players on console?!
PC players more like #PCREKT amirite

I bet more people play TDU2 than SC on the regular in the pc space.

>>716124459
there are dozens more players on the ps5, dozens!

Sounds like more hassle than it’s worth. You know a steam deck is much easier to that with and can function as a PC, right?

>>716134548
my brother simply has his gaming pc set up in an alcove behind the tv in his living room, I don't and I'd never move mine just to play from the couch. If you're loaded you could justify building two computers I guess, or if you have solid internet you could use something like Moonlight to play on your tv through a much less powerful device

>>716124554
