Nah Win10 since the early builds, but the amount of people who'd buy a game on Windows Store compared to Steam is ridiculously small.
We all know that. And there is still gonna be a playerbase of PC players. Sea of Thieves did pretty good on the Store and so did Forza Horizon 3.
But at the end it doesnt matter. There is only one playerbase because its full crossplay.
Well it's a huge storefront but it doesn't invalidate the WinStore users as "not a player base".
There are clearly people using it, so your definition of a player base is?
Both games sold "pretty good" compared to other Windows Store exclusive games, which probably means something like "more than 100k". This is peanuts compared to other popular games sold in competent stores at decent prices.
No of course not. I just wanted to point out that "pretty good" is relative here. I know you'd like MS' PC gaming efforts to be better as well.
Microsoft doesn't report any WinStore sales, so no, we don't know. Greenberg only said it's the best selling WinStore game, meaning it must have sold more than FH3 and AoE DE.
Also, the playerbase isn't bound to sales only, since many people played the game using (the free trial of) Game Pass.
It was approximately 2 million users. Let's say the Game Pass made up 50% (personally I think that number is way too high) which leaves us with about 1 million, the closest thing to a Xbox/PC breakdown we've gotten is 50/50 from the betas, which would leave it at about 500k.
Not setting the world on fire, but certainly not a bad number
I believe it'll be on steam day and date. Microsoft has been pushing towards this reality for a while.
Are there? The Age of Empires DE doesn't really seem to be supporting this claim. The online on it is fucking dead.
Around 32% of the beta players played on PC. According to PC gamer, that's around 110k.
I'd be surprised of the number of sales on PC even came close to 500k, especially with the ridiculous €70 pricetag in Europe. Many people tried the game with the free 14 day Game Pass trial, several popular sites mentioned this possibility. But without actual sales numbers (which we're never gonna see) there's no way to be sure of course.

Ted Timmins did a PC gamer talk at one of their events and revealed the scale test had a 50/50 split.

Scale test doesn't matter it's still the same point, the player base was a 50/50 split of users. As the scale test was about getting as many players as possible concurrent, so I find it even more surprising due to that.
Just correcting you on that it wasnt the final beta. But the closed beta and that the 50/50 was from the scale test. :)
If 30% of the players are on PC, there would be 600.000 Windows 10 players. But then we still don't know the amount of Gamepass-users. My guess is 250k sales.
That was more of a joke, of course it would sell a bunch of copies in the Store.
Was watching one of the old Twitch streams, and at one point someone asks if it's going to be released on Windows 7, or 10 only. And the developer responds: "The initial release is Windows 10 only".
Which may (or may not) means that the Steam release have a DX11 render.
Around the 29 minute mark.
Later, he mentions that each of the 3 maps are not only similar in size than the 1st one, but also have more density (more things to do), which it's easy to notice on the videos.
