They are the norm for big AAA titles or games that are otherwise huge hits (if indie or smaller budget games). Not outliers. Numbers like those are expected from AAA titles.

They also range from hundreds of thousands to over a million players on launch or launch weekend. As I already mentioned thats a pretty big spread. But even at the lower end you are looking at 6x~10x the numbers that AC Shadows got.

Nope, you are still using outliers

How often does a game break even in the first week?

Didnt KCD and MH break even within the first week? And other games like wukong, BG3. Like there are examples here.

Those are outliers…

Like, they go straight to the top of the top sellers lists and are like, "doesn't everybody do this? Lol"

If a huge hit was the norm then they wouldn't be huge hits. Those games you listed are outliers at the top while games like Suicide Squad and Concorde are outliers at the bottom.

Not a huge hit for AAA titles, but for regular titles to be able to meet similar sales or player numbers.

Palworld for example is not a AAA title.

Well the answer still stands, saying outliers doesnt dismiss them. You want to break even then make good games.

Every game that doesn't make as much profit as Minecraft is a failure.

As I also mentioned a few times now, the range for AAA games is from hundreds of thousands into the millions.

300k is not an outlier. And when Palworld got 2M, its hard to call Elden Ring at 950k an outlier either. Regardless of how you feel about those numbers, its unquestionable that AC with its 65k fell short of AAA numbers.

How do you boldly state the exact opposite of what an article claims with such unearned confidence?

Also apparently such a flop that they just got a massive 1.3 billion dollar investment into expanding the company and the franchise.

Oops?

Not far off from what you're saying. Not everyone can be #1. And, given your whole shtick here, you don't even know what success looks like when you debate about it for days on end as it is unfolding before your eyes.

Why are they investing billions in this endeavor?
