You like the Drake Stan that’s boasting the hottest song of 2024 was about Drake. That wasn’t a good thing for the object you Stan.

You sadden me.
Yall scrambling for something negative to say.

It’s a good thing people have lots of games to play and lots of ways to play them.

Let it go buddy :therethere:

Idk what dude told you to trust anonymous sources but even mods on a Xbox sub reddit aren't trusting that source.

I'm not co-signing that source. I looked at their site, and didn't see anything about their methodology. ultimately all these analysts don't have real data, and have to estimate it from looking at achievements/trophies, player counts, reviews, etc. this kind of analysis can produce fairly accurate data, that companies pay good money for, but it's hard to say without any (public) mention of their methodology

nevertheless, sites like eurogamer and insider-gaming ran with this story, and of course it spread throughout the internet. it just shows how easily this low-quality information can spread, even to "trusted" sources

It’s not just Eurogamer.

That same firm has been used for lots of the numbers people just accept as true. Only now do they care how they got the numbers.

Their numbers are used by devs and even publishers and hardware makers to make their plans.

For example When devs put “our game sold x amount” in their linkedin profiles, lots of them are just quoting the numbers from one of these “estimation” firms. Dudes run to post those numbers and don’t GAF what firm they come from or how that firm got the numbers




Remember when dudes were shopping this around

Those numbers came directly from Ailena through AMD who guesstimated them even further, then dudes guestimated the guesstimation to land on “less than 30 mill”

Now dudes like @Gizmo_Duck and @Fatboi1 will still quote that “estimate” as truth till the end of time, but then wanna claim how inaccurate that firm is when they present some numbers that they dont like.

The sony Cult quite literally is the MAGA of gaming. Truth and consistency be damned, as long as they stay on code :smh:

Ask a sony stan how much Astrobot sold.

They will say 2.3 million.

Where does that number come from

Astro Bot has now sold more than 2.3 million copies :noah:

So @Fatboi1 did astrobot flop or naw :usure:
:childplease:No, in what world did it flop? How is a game selling over 1.5 million copies in 2 months on one platform a flop? Mind you, a game that came out right around the same time and with a movie out, sold 2 million and that game was on 7 platforms(Sonic X Shadows Generation).

Is Sonic a flop?

Metaphor sold over 2 million copies across 4 platforms? Should Sega close down their studios?
