I'd be very interested to know the value of a player who got the game without paying vs a player who bought the game (DLC conversion rate, acquisition cost/revenue per user from the subscription service etc.) and the long term impact of giving away your game.

Flop! Third game in the series and it sells less on more platforms? The first one was PS4 exclusive and it sold 1 million in 2 weeks. This one was available on PS4, Ps5, X1, Series and PC.

I blame the Xbox marketing. What the fuck were they thinking?

Yeah, Xbox marketing is terrible. This is what they get for accepting MSFT money. Hope they're satisfied with these "engagement" numbers. I wonder how many of these 2.8 million "players" actually made it past the first boss...

The more Japanese developers get burn by making business, it will late have a better learning effect. Every Japanese publisher would still thinking about making deals with Xbox, deserve to understand the consequences. Japanese games never worked on Xbox consoles, not now nor when Microsoft
money-hatting aggressively in Xbox 360 era.

This is a fair observation. Not a direct sequel but that’s doesn’t matter - same demographics and fanbase.

Shame it’s done worse than NioH. After Nioh and Sekiro’s excellent launch I’d thought this would have a good chance at beating Nioh. Guess not eh

Having played both nioh games and wo long, it wasn't as good as the previous games. Enemy variety and design as well as level design were lacking imo.

Oh, this was a gamepass release. Never even saw it chart.
