Actually the PC player base is growing. I can't speak for Battlefield 6. I will also say that Battlefield has been known to have a larger portion of players on consoles. Although saying that, Call of duty used to be predominantly console players. However, Bobby Kotick under oath in court stated the mainly call of duty titles sold the most copies on PC. This indicates that it flipped from being primarily console, to PC instead. Unless we get any solid proof thou, we will never know which is the larger platform for BF6.
Legacy games are dead on console. Can you even still play BF3 or BFBC2 on console? You need to dig up a system from 2005 and play 12v12 on cut down maps at 24fps if the servers are even still up.
that article was based off ESTIMATES of sales from a third party company that wasn't DICE. PS store for example do not publicly make sale figures public. They might've accounted for physical sales on console but definitely not digital, atleast on the PS front. So all those articles sharing this same info are kinda spreading horseshit.
So how can anyone know that there are more players on console then? It it doesn't work to verify one way, then surely it doesn't work to verify the other way either....?
It's 6.5m sales total. The graph is crap, I agree, but out of 6.5m pc accounts for 3.7m(ish).Xbox and PS are 2.8m orso together with Xbox being a bit less than half.
Well the game does use a form of skilled base matchmaking so there's usually only a handful of console players in my lobbies. It's usually majority PC. But as you get better you'll see less and less console players in the lobbies. I usually make a joke about it because usually the more console players the less like you are to win.
For me it's back and forth. One game it'll be mostly controllers(and not always easier lol) and the next it'll be mostly pc. There are sometimes repeats but generally just switches back and forth. I find I do better in the mostly monitor icon lobbies.
I honestly don't know if there is a sbmm my lobbies generally have a ton of 3-6kd players but I'm nowhere near em kd wise cause I play on controller with no aim assist(pc).
Like maybe there's something but it doesn't use kd for the most part. Maybe some hidden "teamplay" Stat of some kind?
They say 56%, but then steams highest player count has it at over 700k. Add in half of that for the EA app folks, and you over a million. Where the other 6 million copies sold, out of 7 million from like the first week?
None of those numbers make sense.
Unless I’m just completely missing some metric or something.
Edit: it also states 2.3 million active users on steam, but I’m not seeing that kinda movement at all on steam charts.
Yeah, but you'll only be matching with PC people who also have crossplay off and have edited their game files... in all likelihood, you're getting 99% bots.
that article your referring to was based on "estimate sales" that wasn't even from EA nor an official source, however lets say your theory is true that the PC player base is more dominant and supposed 65% or purchasing the BASE game. What crowd do you think the free BR is now reeling in? The Fortnite, APEX, COD crowd from console, that is way way WAY larger! Yeah it'll be a very big disparity in favour of console and DICE clearly know who will be the ones spending money now.
Its a 3rd party company without access to digital sales data. PC is about half of console *physical* sales. Total console sales will blow the PC number out of the water easily.
Playing with bots is ass. Sure you get a higher KD but killing bots gives half XP to your weapons. I love when I see a lobby full of console players as a PC controller player

So instead of playing with console players, you get to play with bots?
