It's a good ass game. "Xbox: 10 million players" presumably includes Game Pass users while Steam is all full priced customers. Odd I thought PC players were all russian hackers who steal everything.
Impressive, imagine the sales numbers that Pokémon would have on PC
given how shitty the last few pokemons were, they could easily be ported to phones and reach 1b people.
The Pokémon audience is mostly made up of children or adults with a child's mentality, hence the questionable quality of these latest games.
Just remember when a Pokémon game launched on mobile.
It was massive crazy.
I never saw anything like that before in the industry with what happened with Pokémon Go.
Ohhhh and there are around 100 million people playing it in 2023… a friend of my wife plays it and my kid made me install on my cellphone.
Nintendo doesn't need the money of Steam peasants for an IP like Pokemon. They also understand the importance of corporate and brand identity, and not diluting or devaluing them simply to pursue a dollar.
Or additionally, making themselves needlessly dependent on another platform holder's business model and directives which impacts delivery of content for 3P on that platform, when Nintendo themselves already have a very successful platform.
