It's not the first time where it's undertracking PUBG. And there were other games as well I think.

seems like this is one of the few times when steamspy is inaccurate, it's actually already sold over 6 million

it's near the error margin and it wouldnt be the first time a news site or the developer would round up the sales number when it is between x.6 and x.9.

And it wouldnt even matter because the game will have those numbers in a few days anyway.

Also steamspy lags 3 days. With a game that is selling 50k to 250k copies a day, being 400k off is of little consequence.

Not inaccurate at all though. Steamspy has a three days delay. On a game like Battlegrounds, that might mean being behind by half a million copies.

Less undertracking, more people not knowing how it works.

i mean i like steamspy and am all for it but i think in this particular case it's out of the margin of error, that article was posted on dso on wednesday when steamspy was showing 5.4 million, it's now friday and steamspy shows slightly under 5.6 million, so unless it adjusts by 400k by tomorrow it's out?

This kind of thread pretty much shows that any games needs to be popular in order to be GotY contender.

Well, if the game is releasing this year why wouldn't be allowed to compete for GOTY?

Having played it my pick is still Zelda though. (the year isn't over yet so this may well change, who knows)
