They count pirated copies as part of their "player" numbers. This was a huge issue when the game launched because the servers didn't authenticate whether you owned a legitimate copy or a cracked one, so both could join online normally. They also count gamepass users as xbox/pc players. If you have to inflate and obscure your numbers this much, it's a pretty clear sign that it's all bullshit.

When Palworld had 19 million players, 12 million of them were Steam sales. This means the ratio of sales is probably about 63% on Steam. At 40 million players, that's at least 25 million in sales, which would make it bigger than all but 3 Pokemon titles (S/V, Sw/SD and R/B). However, you have to keep in mind that since the 19 million, it also released on PlayStation. It would only need to sell 6 million on Playstation to beat all Pokemon sales. This is also before 1.0 dropped which will likely lead to an increase in sales/players. This ratio has likely increased as well since XBox Game Pass has fallen off since Palworld's launch in 2024.

This is also not taking into account that all Pokemon titles are really 2 games. From the Teraleaks some Pokemon generations have upwards of 50% of buyers in the first few months buying both titles, skewing the numbers quite a bit. If 20% of the buyers of Pokemon S/V bought both versions (not that unlikely), it would put it at around 22 million and below Palworld's numbers. Really the only question at this point is did it sell more than Red/Blue on PS and Steam.

I honestly doubt they even broke 20 million sales. They completely stopped posting sales numbers after 15 million steam copies sold and switched over to players, only the most scummy companies do this to hide their horrible sales figures.
I bet they completely stopped at 17-18 million and never reached 20. The 500k people playing right now are returning players but not new, the fact that they are still not reporting sales figures confirms this, where is the 30 million sales post? nobody new is buying it.

Ok, lets assume just 40,000,000 people have the game and no one has gotten it since. Now lets just assume only 25% actually bought the game and kept it. That brings us to 10mil. Now, lets assume of that, everyone bought it on sale at the lowest recorded price of $21. That gives us $210 million. Ah, but that's before the typical 30% cut from steam, microsoft, etc for -$63mil. So after that, we get this game making $147,000,000 with expenses left to cover staff, taxes, marketing, legal, etc.
>>
>>743275590
This is some retarded headcannon. Even when they posted Players and Numbers, Steam was still the bigger platform. At the same time, Gamepass has actually shrunk from 34 million subs to just 30 million. In order for there to be even just 20 million, you'd have to assume about 66% of current subs have played Palworld and that there were no sales from Playstation at all (it was number 1 in Japan the month of its launch)
Even if we accept your headcannon, it is currently the 4th best selling game on Steam.

Yes that's the problem, player numbers mean shit when they could be counting pirated copies or family/account sharing, etc. that's why you never even consider player numbers, it's all about individual sales and they won't post that, they used to spam that for every milestone, but they suddenly stopped, and not even 1.0 fixed that since they are still doing players.

Nope. Palworld sold faster than arceus in the same amount of time, and also died faster. there is no pokemon game that somehow managed to reach 40% concurrent player count years after the peak at release.

btw, there is no player count for nintendo games because nintendo is chickenshit to release it. the best we have is sales and google trends show ZA and Arceus flopped compared to palworld.

Same. I look at gameplay and Palworld don't seem to have much point to it. Kenshi has fun factions you can interact with and take down. Rimworld has great roleplay mechanics and challenging enemies raiding you. Pokemon has the "be number 1" storyline. Palworld seems to be some fusion that doesn't really hit any of that well, yet it's the game everyone insists Pokemon needs to be like and learn from. I'm not saying Palworld is bad, lots of people enjoy it, but I don't want to build a base in Pokemon just for the sake of it.

>>
>>743288864
catch pals and level up then stat check against tower boss. Not 100% stat check i guess, there is some minor gameplay element of recalling pal to dodge attack or reposition them, and you have to dodge big AoE attack sometimes too.

Exploration is OK. base management is busy work time sink.
>>
>>743288864
It's a survival crafting game with creatures to collect. If you're familiar with Conan and ARK, it's kind of like a combination of those but the Conan slaves are cute critters. The goal is to beat all the bosses, which is something the game leads to to do.
I'd also argue that the game is at its strongest either solo or with a friend or two.
