GAF also thought Wildlands would bomb.
"GAF" is most times wrong, but in this cases defense, Except for statements from the Publisher, there is no real buzz for a game with such sales. (Wildlands)

That they can't play it, that it's not a linear 8 hour cinematic adventure, and/or that it's not Japanese.

Thats perfectly reasonable to argue. Im personally a big fan of Persona and Destiny and I enjoyed PUBG as an experience more than both by a pretty big margin.
Its probably got my vote.
From what I understand GAF is not the end all be all
Looks like it will peak for today with 1,767,288

Yes it is, and if you mean the GAF GOTY thread it will in fact be eligible if we repeat the 2016 rules, but many (by no means all) print/web outlets will rule it as inadmissible. Everyone's gotta have their own rules and there isn't full consensus about what those should look like in this new EA era.

It's selling about ~1million every 9-10days. 3 million monthly, and it's been that way for quite some time. It'll easily reach 20 million by December, unless it hits its peak quickly.
That's unreal. With no console sales yet.
Sold more than any console exclusive this gen too.

It's amazing. My brother loves this game and has basically abandoned CoD due to it, which is crazy to me.
I play every once in a while. Fortnite too. It's usually not my cup of tea in terms of what I want to be playing, but I love watching it on Twitch.
May be the greatest stream game ever imho.

If you're sad now you better brace yourself for when it starts winning GOTY awards.
I don't think I have any interest too except watching how big it will grow.

I said it would sell consoles. And I still stand by that.
It's going to be the biggest system seller of winter.

Other then Super Mario Odyssey, I seriously think this will sell more and I think it'll sell a fuckload more.
I'm calling 12million sold in the first week.

Remember when Destiny 2 was 13 million CCU?
I bet it's nowhere near even 10 million right now.
That's what I'd call a fad.

Are these numbers missing decimals?
Either that or they don't know ccu means concurrent users.

Yes it is it was 1.2 million. That was last month. It's probably around 800K now.

Well yes, decimals. They boasted 1,3 million at one time (release week) and that's it.

Yea, since PUBG was starting to break steam records, Bungie posted 1.2 million at the time when PUBG was at 1.1. The after PUBG hit 1.2 million, Bungie posted 1.3 million. But they stoped quickly because their numbers probably fell hard after the initial surge right after launch and PUBG is close to 2 million now.

The game isn't dead until BR is implemented as commonly as Team Deathmatch.
However, GAF told you that Fortnite is going to outdo PUBG eventually, and that's a comment I am happily sticking by.
This will be Star Wars.

This wont be Star Wars. Even with the juggernaut of the franchise it is. PUBG is quite the juggernaut itself. It'll be close but people won't be buying consoles for BFII, but they will for PUBG.
That's the difference. Even if BFII outsells the CCU will tank like a stone compared to PUBG.

Whats truly amazing is this game is hard
One life and youll die constantly. Youll wait around constantly. Youll miss constantly.
Goes totally in the face of games needing to be quick-attention grabbing, and full of constant action and engagement and accessibility
Makes me crave for more round based games. Siege and BR games are a breath of fresh air

Completely forgot about the character creation aspect, would be cool to see them make it deeper than it currently is, as it's a bit flat ATM
