To be fair Eldern Ring is like a 50 hour game, while Crimson Desert is more a 300 hour game.

Still very impressive though

Matters little, no one is paying 70 by the millions for Crimson Desert. Not with the current climate. Elden Ring uses the same tried, tested and true FromSoft formula. It will remain at 59.99 MSRP while CD will see a reduction in users and price.
And again, the users are questionable.

Questionable, and the player numbers across the various platforms don't even add up to that. 70 games don't move "millions" in the first weeks of release. That's marketing.
Being honest here.

You're not being honest, because they already announced their sales figures and follow up milestones

Side note: Congrats to Neverwinter staying in the running for as long as it has.

It's around the 100+ edit: correction as it's hovering around the 200th place on PC which is the biggest platform, so while I don't know how it charts on PS5, it's probably not glorious.

But again you know this.

You misinterpreted the Circana data.

You misinterpreted the Circana data.

I'm talking about actual CCU (or you know, player retention which is the point of this thread and what we talked at first) and my bad it's not 200 now, it climbed back up to the 130's

Who cares it was n°1 in hours played (on Xbox only btw, losing to Neverwinter on PS is actually sad) 2 weeks ago
Is that the best milestone you got?

Before:
"I'm sure it's #1 on Xbox but number #379 on PS5."

Now:
"B-b-but it's number one on Xbox 2 weeks ago"

What are we doing here MiB, this has no sense... Look at BG3! Maybe turn-based is the news #OmegaGenre?

If anyone wants to compare for themselves without looking it up:

Elden Ring first month:

Crimson Desert first month:

"Crimson Desert retained just over half its users over its first 30 days, while Elden Ring only retained just over half its users over its first 30 days"

So, Xbox is where the real players were the whole time?

crimson desert is a self-contained online game simulation...

 

[Rocinante618]

??? Why compare?

Chess has better retention than Elden Ring or Crimson Desert. Check the charts, and it came out in 1475!

lul at Elden Ring and Crimson being chessmogged.

You misinterpreted the Circana data.

It's way more interesting and there is way more to do. Elden Ring is a one and done and the game can be beaten way faster.
