MARATHON may have sold close to 2 million copies in its first weekAccording to estimates shared by the community, the game has sold around 977k copies on Steam alone, generating roughly $ 35M in base game revenue!!!!Since Steam is believed to account for about 45–55% of total sales, that could put total sales across all platforms at around 2 million copies.On Steam, the game currently has:>1.1M players>89% review score> 38k average daily concurrent players
>>734919118won't have legs, already dying, 3 weeks max.
>>734919118Wait for the release in China, there's billions of people there who will want to have a blast. Everything will be fine.
>>734919228Mein Fuhrer... That image already lists China.
>>734919118Uh, sister?
>>734919118Are there still game passes that let you play this? How are they getting to 1.1 mil number when there's never more than 100k online for 10 days straight? It's a different 100k out of the 1 mil that play the game each day separately?????
>>734919118>According to estimates shared by the communityKinda sad asscreed at least hired a horde of pajeets and they did a better job at shilling
did they post something like this? No? Then it didn't sell shittotal bungie death
>>734919118Paul Tassi already confirmed that this is retarded cope. They would be shouting this from the rooftops if it was true, they haven't even sold 1M.
>>734920126OP BTFOMarathonians in shamblesKWABOTY
MARATHON IS CATCHING UP!!!HOO-YAA
>>734919212>two more weeks>it's bleeding players>it doesn't have legs Does anyone else have any more examples of doomer zoomer buzzwords like this?
>>734919118>15% Canadian playersI get it now. The target audience was the leaves.
That's totally impossible, if the game reached 200k players peak, I can believe 1 million copies on steam, but 88k? that's bullshit
My sources tell me the number of copies of Marathon is so high it cannot be calculated, let alone displayed with our current technology. Sorry chuds, but it looks like you lose again.
>>734919118
>>734919118They would have announced it if they sold 1 million in a week.
>>734920384the real number sold is like 250k tops - probably more like 150k
>>734920290>STS2 averages 500k CCU>3M copies sold>Marathon averages 50k CCU>Somehow 2M copies soldThis shit probably didn't even sell 500k across all platforms. We already know Steam is by far the main platform.
>>734919118thats actually pretty shit considering what sony spent on making the fucking game.
I've already seen more fanart of Marathon than I ever did for Highguard or Concord, some guy even went out and spray painted "UESC SUX" that tells me there's at least some staying power. Sucks for the pRedditor chuds ITT who want it to fail because they live unhappy, lonely lives
>>734919118Sony and bungie would be screaming about this everywhere with Sony fans artistically screeching it is yet again another sign xbox is doomed. Until I see that this sounds like total cope.
>>734920575Concord had more fanart.
>>734920365Those “Canadians” are the jeets that have the game open all day to boost numbers
>>734920384Yeah it's complete bullshit the only way to have a lot of sales and a low max players is to have a game that is unknown and builds popularity over time. Marathon has been out a few weeks and was shilled everywhere probably 70% of it's sales were in the first day and you would expect everyone who bought it to play it they day they bought it.
>>734919118>$ 35M in base game revenuejust slightly short of the mark
Looking good sisters, we may get close to TF2's playercount if we get more people to leave their game on while they play anything else.
>>734920290This sucks massive dicks for mewgenics
>>734920365Because they are leaving the game?
>>734919118and yet we're looking at a consistent 3-4k loss in players day over daycurious
>>734920575Bazz has xher own manga
>>734919118I'm just having a blast with the Marathon right now. It's a true return to foam for Bungie since Halo: Combat Evolution. They captured lighting in a bottle with this one.
>>734920647>>734921247Hate art
>>734921474Just because Sony didn't pay them to do it, like they did with Marathon, doesn't make it hate art. They did it for the love of the game, maybe not Concord, but the game.
>>734919118how many refunds? it doesnt even break past 50k on a Friday night.
>>734919118> estimates from the community
>Reddit believes it Lmao
>>734920384some retard looked at the highest number here and just went with it.its probably 600k and another 400k on console
2 morbillion copies
>IT SOLD 2M COPIES BECAUSE IT JUST DID, CHUD>Why didn't Bungie announce that?>SHUT THE FUCK UP, CHUD!Weird
>>734923223Blastroons have no absolutely no response
>>734919118Don't forget the most important number3.6 BILLION DOLLARS
>>734919118Where the fuck did you get an estimate of 2 million sales? Paul Tassi confirmed Steam is the primary platform, with the xbox member group at ~5k and the PSN Server Slam at ~2k
OHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>734920575>some guy even went out and spray painted "UESC SUX" that tells me there's at least some staying power.it lost another 2k players todayon friday nightone week after releasethis shit is the opposite of staying power
>>734923604>Free>Couldn't compete with Kingdom Come: Deliverance in 2026KEK
>>734923551From>>734923028With some added mental gymnastics to further blow it out of proportions.But we know how those sites make estimates, and we know bungie has asked players to boost the metric that has the biggest influence on those estimates. So, yeah, it's probably a large overestimation.
>>734919118>On Steam, the game currently has:>1.1M playersBut the steamchart says 30k - 89k players? And 89k x 4 = 360k playersI don't hate marathon but...
If its in the 1-2 million range, its high enough to be worth trying to course correct, but not what Bungie is looking for considering the lack of post launch growth. That said, its more Anthem/Avengers then Concord/Highguard in how it is flopping thus far.
>>734924468>If its in the 1-2 million rangeIt's not, Bungie would have announced that by now.
>>734919118>2 million>50k playingGRIMI know alleged "megafans" have been giving out thousands of keys on Steam tho. I got two (one went to my wife) but it is still unplayable on high-end PCs. If I leave the FPS uncapped and it exceeds 100FPS input delay occurs. If I use my 49K polling rate mouse input delay occurs. If I use my 8K polling rate keyboard mouse input delay occurs. So I have to cap FPS at 80 and put my keyboard/mouse in 1K polling rate mode or it is literally unplayable. I refuse to do that however so I just won't play it. Wonder how many of those "sales" are the insane flow of free keys.
>>734919118Lol pokemon made that in like 3 days. Maraflop is gay
BREAKKINGGG NEWWWWWS MARATHON JUST BEAT YESTERDAY'S TOP PLAYERSMARACHADBROS WE ARE BACK
>>734924793Both kneel to Slay the Spire 2 and its big 3 million.
A game can sell a million, copies and still die. See Dune Awakening.
>>734919118Fuck off with your horse shit it didnt sell 1 million total and after no one watches the paid shills on saturday night the game is EoS lol
>>734925116Or Dragon Age Veilguard
>>734919118>2 million copies sold at 40 bucks each>Development costed 300 millionThere's something about these numbers that doesn't add up in Marathon's favor.
>>734926030It's even worse if you take into consideration the price Sony paid to buy Bungie to begin with.
>>734925116>Dune AwakeningWhat did I miss? What happened?
THIS IS /v/'s OPERATION BARBAROSSA.
>>734920290And here is the company proudly talking about the sales figure.Yes only silence from Bungie.Almost as if.. they didn't sell enough to worth bragging about it.
>>734919680Who tf cares what paul tassi has to say?
>>734926030It's even worse if you take into consideration Bungie gutting Destiny 2 to fully focus on Marathon.
>>734919118No it didn't.Gamalytic does nothing but speculate and they are often wildly off when it comes to a new release title.They tend to be more accurate when it comes to quarterly data or longer than that.
>>734921932Reddit is desperate for any good news about the game, even if it doesn't stand up to the barest amount of scrutiny or critical thought.>>734923028I think it's very possible Marathon has sold a little over 1m units across all platforms. The thing is, which is almost certainly the reason why they're not making any sales figure announcements, is they know 100% that whatever more units they sell, they're barely scraping to 1.5m but never hitting milestones beyond that.
>>734923584>lost 2k todayNot true, as it beat yesterday's numbers by about that much. It is friday, though.
>trannies think by saturating the servers they will keep the game alivekek. never fails
>>734921932>look into reddit thread>majority said its bullshit You have to look beyond the upboot anon
>>734919212It will have legs and it will run for years. Its not a sprint, its a marathon.
>>734921563>yhoooooo
>>734926854>It is friday, though.yeah thats not good. one week after release, weekend bump not doing much. how much is the bump tomorrow? 10K? less? even bf6 got a 6k bump today and that is after everyone moved off bf6. this game already doing worse weekend bumps than an already dead game a mere week after release spells doom.
>>734919118>estimates shared by the brain-broken community
>>734927118Warning sign #1 is if it doesn't break 60k tonight. (It's a cunt hair away right now.) Warning sign #2 is if it doesn't break 60k on Saturday, which is pretty bad.Warning sign #3 is if it doesn't break 60k on Sunday, which is even worse because that was when it had its highest launch weekend peak.Doomsday Sign #1 is if it doesn't break 55k on either Saturday or Sunday somehow, despite almost getting 60k tonight. This would be 'hand out the guns to shoot ourselves' time at Bungie.But my personal guess is it'll hit 62 to 65k on Saturday/Sunday, then rapidly return to its normal rate of decay of losing 3-5k a day, with next weekend's peak at 55k and so on. The only bump will be when the Cryo Archive thing comes out, but it's not saving the game.
>>734919118Looks like we’re running right in schedule. Next stop”It didn’t do well but THAT’S OK!” followed by “Developer lays off its people and it’s your fault!”
>>734924898>only 2k more than lowest peak>still lower than any other day since release>still under 60k>on a fridaylmao
>>734919680>>734926680Paul Tassi is the shilliest shill there is for the Hollywood machine (which western AAA is definitely a part of). It would be like if one of those politically partisan cheerleader channels who always say that everything is going great and they've got a 50 point lead came out and said that they're in danger of getting wiped off the map.When the shill insiders are saying that things are going wrong, you know that things are 10x worse than what they're saying.
>>734927258You are retarded. Bungie has paid the top 18 streamers to play marathon all weekend. And still line go down. It's over.
>>734921932FUCK YEAH I'M HAVING A BLASTReddit sisters, we've finally beaten that pesky chuddha.Woke is back!
>>734927258>Warning sign #1 is if it doesn't break 60k tonight. (It's a cunt hair away right now.)even if it made 60k the fact that it is struggling is the biggest warning sign. this should be the biggest growth period for the game and highest peak and it still has not beaten its peak from last week.
>>734928275When I say 'warning sign,' I'm thinking of a control panel where a light starts flashing yellow, but it's slow and infrequent - hey, something isn't looking too good, but it's not an emergency situation.Marathon's control panel is only flashing yellow lights right now, but they're starting to speed up.
Why are people so invested in this game failing?
>>734921563>>734927050It’s always funny how Koreans love Bazz
>>734929463It sure as hell is more fun than the actual game itself.
>>734919118>According to estimates shared by the communityIs that what you call your paid shills?
>>734926680the biggest bungie/industry glazer has bungie sources and says the game is mainly on steam means that the game is mainly on steam.if you think hes lying thats fine you can believe whatever you want but there is no evidence that he is or reason to believe that he is especially given his history.if he is saying "the ship has a very small hole and is taking on a little bit of water" then you can be sure that they hit an iceberg and are currently breaking in half.
>>734920126>I don't know the percentages. I do think Bungie would have announced 1 million or 2 million sales in the first week, but maybe not if expectations were way higher, I dunno. This does seem optimistic thoughshill tassi saying less than 1mil
>>734919118>We believeYour fake numbers are not accurate, first off; there is no evidence of 1 million users. Second, Steamspy died for API data that Valve killed. You can not get accurate results. Lastly, the real number is less than 2 million sales as per Steam Player base. Don’t forget, 30% goes to the evil corporation you support. They only actually got 600,000 and still will lose more money when they pay taxes.
>>734929463because bungie fucked over the fans that made them a studio worth $3.6B by putting out this dogshitbecause nu-bungie is walking corpse filled with hr karens and virtue signalling tranniesbecause it's funny to watch retards cope and seeth
>>734929463One of my friends roped me into playing destiny 2 with him and I thought it was one of the worst games I ever played after playing it for a good bit, the only saving grace was the gunplay and movement didn't feel awful, but as far as progression systems/gearing, monetization goes it feels like a very forced mmo where once you got the meta loadout you were just fishing for either side grades or god rolls that may be useful later
tranny jannies having a melty
>>734920290>another massive success by a woke studioChudbros... when is it out turn?
>>734929463Because the videogame industry won't willingly give up its war on beauty and the male fantasy, both of which this game is an active assault on.We're not going to play the role that the industry has laid out for us, which is to just accept that the era when games were made for us is in the past and we get to sit here with our heads down while they gloat about it and talk about how evil we are. We're going to laugh loudly as reality interrupts their narrative and take every opportunity to throw bricks through their windows.Before you start, the shills never talk about the toxicity and slander committed by their machine against gamers (an overwhelmingly male group) for the crime of daring to want to be the industry's #1 priority ahead of goddamn Karen and to be allowed to relax without hall monitors. You can't go around kicking people the nuts and then cry victim when they hate you and it turns out that they can kick harder.>Oh, wahhh.Good fucking riddance.
>>734929463Because we're literally taking down shit designed to ruin society and keep fags like chained up.Fucken idiot
>>734929463This really isn't that much investment. People aren't planning raids on streamers playing the game, or going after their advertisers, or attacking the infrastructure, or any physical operations against the bungie campus. Not even any organized grievances, or identifying things that will piss off hairtrigger communities or politicians or shit like that. Maybe some anti shill shit, some people who hate bungie for something about destiny, or some political shit some of the devs said,, and of course the people who boo everything, are, booing this as well. But this isn't big investment. Lurk longer and you'll see some real investment. It's mostly apathy towards a big high AAA budget release that's been in dev for years.
>>734929463They want to capture the magic and relive that mythical time when we saw the the sinking of TORtanic. Concord got near that mark and Highguard Is still fresh in the minds of everyone as well, a lot of his blood in the water still
>>734932213>Because we're literally taking down shit designed to ruin societyYes a video game is definitely what's ruining society, and you're definitely fighting the good fight one 4chan post at a time I'm sure.
>>734919118If they actually sold well they'd announce it themselves, retard. Their silence is deafening.
>>734932213You're literally 15
>>734919118>may have>believed>couldThese are the words doing heavy lifting and why this thread exists. Copesissies have nothing to show the doombros its a success.
>>734919212Trust the Plan
>>734919908Because it's all bullshit.
>>734920575>31 images on R34
>>734932213I get it now. This shit is all a psyop to keep you people from actually attempting political reform.
>>734920575>some guy even went out and spray painted "UESC SUX"Conveniently forgetting people got lawbreakers tattoos?
>>734925546It didn't break even budget wise (horrendously long dev cycle on that one) but it's a single player game I don't think it was live service. Then again BG3 has like 40k players as I type this so yeah Bioware got fucked.
>>734932568And what the fuck are you doing to reform the political sphere?
>>734932640Different anon, but you don't see how you hold these strong views but use it on a video game about nerd shit like outer space and robots? Your real enemies don't give a fuck about this shit and they'll keep winning becuase of it while stay distracted with these petty squables that mean nothing.
>>734932727ignore the typos I've been drinking again
>>734919118>2 MILLION>5 minute queues in playstationNo way it sold 1M on Steam unless half a million straight up doesn't boot the game.STS2 just announced 3M sales, and it has 556k daily peak players, so about 20% of buyersMarathon is struggling to break 60k max daily, which points to about 300k sales.The true number is likely even lower, since multiplayer games tend to have overall longer session times, meaning more overlap for higher concurrent playercounts.That shit probably hasn't broken a quarter million sales on PC. And at best PS5 sales are 100k.
>>734931072Crimson Desert is letting us punch women and minorities
it's a fucking flop anon. we have metrics now.
>>734920575>some guythats called guerrilla marketing you fucking retard
Steam removing the playercount feature would be a net positive at this point.
>>734933029What the fuck is this.
>>734933108For you, not anyone that buys games.
>>734933121https://flopathon.cc/?game=3065800
>>734933124People that buy games would buy it anyway if it looks good enough and the reviews are good. By this logic, no one buys games on consoles.
>>734933121chud-powered website to track concord-likes flopping and the games mogging them
>>734933171>People that buy games would buy it anyway if it looks good enough and the reviews are good.Not true>By this logic, no one buys games on consoles.They don't, look at Marathon on consoles kek
>>734933146This is a new level of tism, I never considered reachable.
>>734933029Fuck I love the internet, it still has some soul
>>734933216>Tracking a trend is autistic because...well it just isOk retard
>>734933203we don't know how much marathon players are on console though or those metrics would be ITT, but are you really telling me no one buys games based on playing demos, watching trailers, youtube reviews, twitch streams anymore. They solely load up steamdb and make their decision on only that? Then you're telling me no one has bought a single game on PS5 or xbox today alone becuase they couldn't see the playercount?
>>734932943based on those ratios, Marathon's sales are closer to 200k, and if we add a generous 100k for Playstation and xbox (lmao), that's around 12 million revenue before Steam's 30% and other tax shit. This game has made Bungie about 5 million only, and no way the game cost that little.
>>734933231It unironically is, you think this is normal and everyone is doing this? The autism part is mainly at whoever made this site. It's definitely a level of dedication to code this (maybe ai helped who knows), buy the domain, the hosting, and link it to the steamdb API
