He hated it when I talked to any character....so maybe we are good.There are also bare feet in the game. Be careful or your son might just turn out too based.

Yes I think we can
Fortunately there's a similar game recently released in the same caliber as Elden Ring in term of market anticipation, Cyberpunk
Cyberpunk was released on December 10, 2020, on PC+PS4+Xbox. Since it's recently released, gamers install base should be relatively the same between Dec-2020 to today.
Cyberpunk Steam peak players right after it's released is 1.054 million. A couple of months after release, CDPR said despite issues, Cyberpunk has sold 13.7 million in 2020 (that's 3 weeks worth of sale) with breakdown of 56% PC, 28% PS4, and 17% Xbox
www.pcgamesn.com
Elden Ring Steam peak players is 891K. But we know Soulsborne PC install base is 40% PC and 60% console.
wccftech.com
So using those numbers
Cyberpunk PC sales in 3 weeks = 0.56 x 13.7 = 7.672 million
Elden Ring to Cyberpunk PC sale ratio = 0.891/1.054 = 0.8444
In 3 weeks, Elden Ring PC sale should be around = 0.8444 x 7.672 = 6.478 million (Even Steamspy estimates that Elden Ring PC sales already reached, AT LEAST, 5 million)
Soulsborne install base is 40% PC, so total Elden Ring sales in 3 weeks should be around 16.2 million (PC+PS+Xbox)
A year after its release, at the end of 2021, Cyberpunk sales is estimated at 18 million copies, that's 30% of its Dec-2020 sales.
www.forbes.com
If we're to use the same ratio, Elden Ring 1-year sale should reach 21.2 million
Can someone better in math verify my numbers?

10% of Cyberpunk 2077 PC sales were on GOG

Analysts: All ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ 2021 Sales May Be A Third Of Just December 2020

This is guesswork at absolute best, you can't just compared different games like they're the same thing (most of the time).
Anecdotally I know a LOT of people who have bought Elden Ring that have never touched a From game before. I think it will easily be the best selling one, but by how much, who knows.

Yes retailers should push the PS5 to potentials consumers who are undecided on which console to get based on physicals sales. It should get most of the shelve space and center display. If only Sony manages to produce more PS5s.

You can't compare these two games.
CP2077 was decent enough on PC, but a freaking mess on consoles. So there was a bias towards better sales on PC.
Elden Ring is almost he opposite. It runs better on consoles. And besides, From Software games have a bigger following on consoles than on PC.

Elden Ring anticipation far exceeds that of Dark Souls 3, so yeah I think it can easily double DS3 sales

CP 2077 a lot of preorders. You can't say the same for Elden Ring.

For once I'd like to hear data of sales outside the UK. It's always this region that's talked about.

It's an outstanding game but this is just silly. It doesn't have COD / Skyrim / Witcher 3 mainstream appeal to shift that many units.

I haven't upped Arcane at all and I started as this games version of Depraved. Bleed is the way!
Its the only place that really reports with reasonable number alongside JP, US (Monthly but no numbers), ES (weekly estimates but its very small)

Right now everyone is hyped as hell on the game and most of the takes are bad. It's hard to say that one is better than another when it comes to exploration. One thing Elden Ring does not have is relaxation, BOTW is tranquil at times, same with Skyrim. In BOTW sometimes you will climb a mountain, just to fly back down, or spend time in certain areas because it's nice and beautiful, there is nothing like that in Elden Ring.

Yea that's what I was talking about along with the rest of the castle. I guess I missed a lot of stuff by going through the front gates when given an option.

I think that's roughly correct, though I imagine the Elden Ring audience is more hardcore, plays for longer and therefore produces a higher CCU per copy sold than would normally be expected.
Either way, I think 20+M lifetime is a lock.

In the beginning it says there are certain spots where you will not be able to teleport.
Seem to have got it figured out now.

According to some report, PC number is already much higher than my estimation
pledgetimes.com
Elden Ring: Steam sales of over 10 million copies, SteamSpy reports
Elden Ring has totaled sales for over 10 million copies on Steam according to data reported by SteamSpy, which currently estimates between 10 and 20 million users in possession of the game. Capable of monopolizing the Steam ranking, Elden Ring can currently count on over 860,000 contemporary...

I'm now 40h in, I've never played a game where my jaw drops roughly every 5 minutes. The whole time I'm playing I'm thinking "how the fuck will FROM ever top this‽", absolute masterpiece. As I guessed earlier in this thread, the map is absolutely massive, easily 100+ hour game. When I'm not playing it I'm thinking about it, Miyazaki's dark sorcery has invaded my mind, praise the Ring!

On PC only, maybe. I don't see Elden Ring shifting 30 millions units total but I'd love to see it happen.
Irrelevant as in in nolonger lets us accurately estimate the size of a release like it use to, but lets us see trends in next gen adoption and digital vs physical that the japanese market differs too greatly to take anything

I did. Then I used the item. Is the penalty gone for good now? I didn't realize that happened. I just wanted a hug.

What’s a good endurance cap for a str/fth build? Is 18 enough? For vig/str/fth/mind I’m planning to go 35/40/40/25

I got an important quest item this way.
Every time as far as I know. Crafting materials for it are super easy to find so I don’t mind.
