Why Steam CCU and sales numbers don't show the whole story or arent the deciding factor for a game or exclusive etc.

Theres gonna be games that sell better on PC and vice versa. Some with much bigger or small gaps.

Alot of these guys asking for everything to be on their platform wont be play the game, its for bragging rights. I want AOE and Flight Simulator on PS5 because Ill buy them and play them, not to brag my platform is the best place to play lol

Old game, not that good, jrpgs dont sell that well on steam, on average.
Its a year old. And scored in the high 80’s. It just didnt appeal to alot of PC players.

But if old is the reason, then better tell Rockstar to Cancel there GTA6 PC port, its gonna take a year at least

I see this claim that FF16 sold 5 million but is there anything to back this up? Steamspy is fake and always bullshit so those kinds of estimates should be wholly discredited.

Hmm true. No point in releasing GTA VI at all on PC. I'll be sure to let the Housers know

Do it quick!! Rockstar about to lose the house if they dont release day 1 on PC.

You might need a time machine to cancel GTA5 PC port as it came to PC in 2015, 2 years after console (2013). No wonder GTA5 didnt sell well, it wasnt on PC day 1…

Not surprising considering the fact that the game released on PC 15 months after PlayStation 5. Square Enix needs to release their games day one everywhere or every single game of theirs will flop.

5m on PS5 only. According to websites as VGChartz and Famitsu counting.
