140K for Vanquish? That kinda bums me out. Half a million for Jet Set Radio though? Gimme Future on PC please Sega.
Deadfire is so, so, so low. I didnt play much of it yet, but I think its safe to say Obsidian will abandon the IP in the future.
I feel like there are a ton of games sitting in people's backlogs that haven't been touched. I wonder if Valve is going to do anything for the pubs/devs that are getting low balled in their numbers and getting negative press from it. I feel a lot of games on here are low because of people not playing them. I already came across 20+ games in this thread that I own but haven't played and I know there are a huge amount of people like me out there.
For example. I own almost every Ys game but have only played Origins. Same goes for Final Fantasy and Trails in the Sky / Cold Steel. And that's not even close to what I haven't played.
After all that said. I'd still like to know the Street Fighter V numbers to see how many people at least attempted to play the game.
I wonder why. Isn't the game arguable better than the first one? Is it the setting? Did people not like the original? Bit weird.Deadfire is so, so, so low. I didnt play much of it yet, but I think its safe to say Obsidian will abandon the IP in the future.
Damn rocket league only 10m on steam ? So +30 on console alone?? Holy unexpected tbh

I'm looking at my buddy's steam profile, and we have been family sharing for years, and none of his achievements come from any games I share with him. Some of which I know he'd played enough of to unlock achievements.
In fact, nothing from our shared games shows up on his account, not even under recent activity.
The only thing I can think of is either that page is wrong, or maybe achievements unlock locally but not on your account or something.
I've heard this from several places now, enough to be skeptical of these numbers.Checked our own game and the results were noticeably less accurate than the old SteamSpy prediction method.

Well if I understood it correctly it only accounts for people that own a game and started it once. So those numbers would naturally always be lower than the actual owners.I've heard this from several places now, enough to be skeptical of these numbers.

Valve should really get into the business of releasing the fifth instalment of their series judging by the sales of Grand Theft Auto, Skyrim and Civilization. Perhaps they can buy a couple of series that ended after their fourth instalment.

The bundle is not the issue, FC's incredibly slow start is.They really should make a bundle of the three Trails in the Sky games.
Jet Set Radio's numbers are greatly inflated by the fact Sega gave it away for free at one point. The numbers were much lower before that promotion.That's way better than I though it would be at. I thought it would only sell 50K at most.
Just want to point out to anyone upset about the Trails games.
These games only include people who actually played the game, Not people who have them lying in their backlogs for later. Also Trails games apparently do really well on GOG and SC's all time low was 14.99 on there compared to 19.49 on Steam, So that definitely attracted people.
also im not sure why people are acting like Cold Steel 2 did bad? Its a 40 dollar game that came out on PC 2 years after console, and is a direct sequel to a huge story driven RPG so the drop off is of course going to be pretty big.
I'm sure XSEED is happy with Cold Steel's performance on PC.
If we are talking about the first game, yes, there might be people who redeemed it from the bundle without downloading. However, any non-bundle game is unlikely to have been bought and forgotten. The payout for the bundle copies is less than $1 per bundle.
17k copies for the game is bad, regardless how you spin it. You should contrast Trails sequels with other JPRGs on Steam, then you will understand just how bad 17k copies is compared to the average of what "Tales of" or Hyperdimension.
Cold Steel 1 broke a million mark on PS4. PC is selling 3-4% of what PS4 did. You can use the mentality that 3%>0%, but XSEED would benefit much more if they focused on PS4, Switch and mobile.
SEGA's given away a huge amount of the games on the list. It seemingly never helped NiGHTS or SEGA Bass Fishing much, so it has genuinely sold a solid amount for what it is.Jet Set Radio's numbers are greatly inflated by the fact Sega gave it away for free at one point. The numbers were much lower before that promotion.
Look at the achievement stats for POE1, not a lot of people made it past the first act let alone finished the game. They marketed the sequel as a direct follow up to the first that picks up right where 1 ended and allows you to import your character with all your choices and whatnot from the first game. I think they shot themselves in the foot with this approach as now anyone interested in playing 2 would want to finish 1 first.
Looks like Valve was bullshitting about GDPR. Just as I was saying back when that change was made. They're just overtly trying to kill SteamSpy.
If them Forcing people's libraries to Private was merely about GDPR, why did they move so quickly to obfuscate achievement decimal places the moment people realized they could extrapolate playercounts from it?
Trails in the Sky Syndrome STRIKES AGAIN!
Cross-checking this data with the Valve-provided best sellers of 2018 so far (https://store.steampowered.com/sale/2018_so_far_top_sellers/). Both at the start of July so probably pretty good.
Keep in mind Valve's lists are probably categorized by revenue and includes DLC and MTX revenue. I'm also going to stick with new 2018 releases.

SE was free for anyone with regular edition. I would think that majority of SE numbers come from owners of vanilla legendary.That's not correct. 13.2M is just the original Skyrim numbers. Skyrim SE has another 4.4M. Fallout 4's popularity is nowhere close to Skyrim's and will never be.
Dang, kinda insane that D:OS 2 has already sold more than the first game.
Sure, but keep in mind that most of old skyrim owners didn't even bother to "upgrade" to Skyrim SE because of poor mod support (compared to OldRim). Not to mention that these are the numbers of people that actually played enough of Skyrim SE to earn achievements, not just redownloaded it.SE was free for anyone with regular edition. I would think that majority of SE numbers come from owners of vanilla legendary.
Unless you mean D:OS 2 out sold the original D:OS 1, it didn't. There are two versions of D:OS listed there, Enhanced Edition and Classic. When combines is more than D:OS 2.
Not accurate. Pretty sure Skyrim Special Edition was given for free for anyone who owned Skyrim and its DLC. I know I got it for free.That's not correct. 13.2M is just the original Skyrim numbers. Skyrim SE has another 4.4M. Fallout 4's popularity is nowhere close to Skyrim's and will never be.
Not really. Adventure game publishers/developers just need to budget accordingly. A game's profit is entirely based on its budget. Budget accordingly and you'll do fine.
I feel ashamed I never heard of Unturned before and its a top 5 title.
Aha.Checked our own game and the results were noticeably less accurate than the old SteamSpy prediction method.
Not accurate. Pretty sure Skyrim Special Edition was given for free for anyone who owned Skyrim and its DLC. I know I got it for free.
Besides, Fallout 4 released 4 years after Skyrim. That's 4 entire years of Skyrim repeatedly going on sale before Fallout 4 released. I don't expect Fallout 4 to reach Skyrim's numbers, but I've also no doubt Fallout 4 will eventually close the gap as it drops further in price.
