Impressive performance. That said users and peak total for the game isn't that huge really

Anyone remember the peak in players online for Call of Duty last generation on Xbox 360? I remember Black Ops 2 at launch was around 600k online for PS3.
Best wishes.

Sorry said it wrong but still amazing to see a game from last gen doing so good and expecting a lot of those people all ready playing on PS4/Xbox one now.

Ah the good old smell of dick measuring contest
It's concurrent though right? Over the next two months I see this game adding new users.
3m for Original Black Ops on 360.

Edit: Me and all my friends are part of that numbers, played like 24/7 that game what a great game Black Ops was and 3 is just as good <3

Still I expected higher player counts than that. If this is accurate its not all that impressive imo
Sure, but as they do so, a good number of players who bought the game at launch will drift away. And since opening numbers are always a huge chunk of total sales, it'd be odd for Battlefront to add all that many new users, especially with somewhat middling word-of-mouth.
It's about in-line with what I'd anticipated; the game really wasn't quite as hyped as many were led to believe, I don't think. It has presence, and it'll do pretty well, but it's not taking the crown from CoD -- or even coming close. Star Wars games don't sell like people think they do. Not even now. They sell reasonably well, sometimes, but they're rarely crushing NPDs.

That's a good way to describe the aroma of a Gamestop midnight launch.
It really is about who has the stinkiest dick.
It's not really that hard to get. If you own an Xbox you have more interesting exclusives to chose this Holiday season. It's no science, Sonys whole marketing is focused on 3rd party title while MS is also pushing their exclusive games like Halo and Tomb Raider.
No need to get defensive about simple facts.
Of course the game would sell more on PS4 anyways... But I think not having as much of a first party presence on the system this holidays is a factor as well.

For comparison FO4 is peaking daily on JUST PC at over 400k

I'd be curious how many people on PC asked for refunds. I bought the game, played it, and had no desire to keep it. Dan Ryckert brought up that he doesn't think the game will have legs a number of times and I wholeheartedly agree with him. There just really isn't much to the game.
Jesus christ, that's just scary.
I know LoL has a concurrent player number of 7.5+ Million, but actually seeing the number is insane.

Except tomb raider looks to be the last thing on xbox owners minds and im pretty sure battlefront,fallout and call of duty is out shining halo.
Wait until Sunday mate, around 4PM UK, the numbers on Ps4 will be much bigger because:
1 - Nothing beat Ps4 in EU.
2 - EU players will be playing in force.
Gameplay trailer in the cinema just before the movie starts. Boom.
That'd certainly help.

Also BO3 on PS4 has already done over 1 million concurrent I believe.

I'm expecting Black Friday, The movie and Christmas to add new users. And EA isn't going to abandon this game. It'll sell it's 10 million and the playerbase will be there. I'm not worried about that.
You can play League on any Pc, also this is only 360 numbers, League is F2P this one costs 60$ back in the day.
Different beasts my friend...
Not surprised that the PS4 player count is the highest
Surprised at how low the total user count is. Thought this would be the #1 or #2 game this month. I realize this is just a snapshot but may be wrong.
Surprised that the PC user count is so low
Surprised that the PS4:XB1 ratio is that much lower than the install base. Assumed people who had both consoles would lean towards the PS4 version like I did. You know what they say about assumptions and all that.

We have no proof of that, Treyarch does not disclose numbers anymore.

Gratz, Sony.
But I'm loving the silky smooth PC version!
BTW, slightly Off-Topic, anyone got numbers on Call of Duty Black Ops3?

The only part I'm not so sure on is the playerbase still being there in two months or more. I expect a sizable number of current players to drift off fairly quickly. But we shall see!

Ive just seen it reported no idea.
Either way this really isn't an impressive number. I'm curious to see how it peaks in the next few days because if it stays around here thats not great

only on 1 platform, in fact it's singlehandedly almost outclassing the primary platform on PC.
Different beasts indeed.
you really just need to look at it when the US players are in school/at work
Sunday i will post here and believe me the numbers on Ps4 will be bigger, not sure if MUCH bigger but bigger.

This game will be on every kids Christmas/Hanukkah list, so expect numbers to soar during late December, mainly on PS4 and XB1.
Right around the time the new movie drops in theaters.

Hell FO4 on PC alone is beating all 3 combined
I'm still wondering why it was removed starting with AW.
Tbh Zero on my FL.
Everyone is either playing Fallout or Black Ops. Many on Destiny aswell and should i say Fifa? i dont want to lol
Crossfire too, although I don't know if anyone on this forum is going to care about it. In any case, Battlefront isn't a very PC-centric game, and so it wouldn't be surprising if it doesn't perform as well there as it does on consoles. By contrast, Fallout 4 is very PC-centric, so it sells very well on PC. The only thing that I find odd is that the Battlefield games generally perform very well on PC, but Battlefront's simplification seems to make it less welcome.

This is why I was worried about getting the PC version, it's like Hardline all over again.
