It can't be, too many other gamesI expect the next NPD thread to be most exceleent
I love how every game I join is full.
But still this ain't no Halo 2 (200k+ daily in it's prime)...

I expected the PC number to be much higher than that...
We all know what is really killing the PC numbers, right? If this game was on Steam w/ Steamworks, those numbers would be quadrupled.
Based on BF4 and BFH numbers I have on record (which track similarly over the day) I'm expecting a 50% increase from now to its peak player count this weekend.Sunday i will post here and believe me the numbers on Ps4 will be bigger, not sure if MUCH bigger but bigger.
League of Legends and Blizzard games could get 4x more on Steam!We all know what is really killing the PC numbers, right? If this game was on Steam w/ Steamworks, those numbers would be quadrupled.
I'm primarily interested in this game's longevity. It is thin on content as is currently, and there are a lot of games vying for attention this holiday.The title of the thread sounds nice enough for Sony until you look at the actual stats, worrying PC numbers and not exactly impressive PS4/XBO numbers either. We'll get a better idea over the next few weeks though.
Does this include digital numbers?

That's impressive. I wonder how is BO3 doing comparably.

If it had been $30 however...
"PC gamers are picker" goes out the window when you consider hundreds of thousands play the middling quality 3rd remake of a game with decades old gameplay.

If the stats I have are true for launch weekend as well (they are not launch aligned; I grabbed them for a different purpose) then another ~140k concurrent on top of what it is right now.How much will that give?
Everyone connected to EA servers is counted, that includes EA Access players.Are those X1 numbers counting the EA Access players? I don't really know how it works, but aren't they able to basically play the game for "free" at first?

The PC version has one of the best GAF feedback from our local Performance topics. Smooth, relatively trouble-free, beautiful and scales well.Shitty PC version and origin only. Not that it would have been above the consoles even in perfect circumstance, but these publishers/devs don't help themselves.

Sonys lackluster first party lineup for the holidays paid off, congrats.
Keep in mind MS just released two HUGE exclusives this month, whereas Sony is relying solely on third party's this fall. I don't own an XBOX btw, but if I did, and I was looking for a multiplayer shooter to play, I would 100% buy Halo 5 before Battlefront.
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
What's the obsession with holiday game? Would I have enjoyed Bloodborne, Until Dawn among others If they released in November?
yep, the non valve shooter community migrated to consolesWhen it comes to online shooters on the PC, there's Valve's stuff then everything else. Modern Call of Duty shares much the same fate: the numbers start off relatively respectable, but they're well shy of the numbers on consoles and after a month or two have dropped sharply as people went back to playing whatever was occupying their time before release.
Microsoft gets an E for Effort though.
Thank god Sony is spreading their lineups whole year otherwise they would go unnoticed like RoTR and Halo.

I'm honestly kinda surprised BF4 is still hovering at around 30k peak like it did for the last few months after both cod and battlefront released
Not like they have a choice.....
But not going down that road. The real test will be if the numbers are still there in the next few months after the new game smell wears off.

I think it may be in reference to the reverse acceleration and poo flight controls.Weird. Our performance thread has only pointed out the positives of the port, beyond its barebone feature set and decidedly simple gameplay.
Sounds like your reaching a bit bro I'm sure pc players didn't look at a great game like this and say "welp no mods no buy" the excuses you gave are irrelevant in the face of how good the game is.let's see
ps4 is the most popular current gen platform, and all the advertising was done for ps4
the pc version is missing things like mod support, a server browser, etc
makes a lot of sense as to why the ps4 version is dominating

I expect the gap will close over time. I think the xbox one version is superior. Not because of graphics but network stability with xbox live and the one has the far better controller.
The game was made for console players. Makes sense.I expected the PC number to be much higher than that...
Battlefront is overshadowing not only Halo 5 but also Tomb Raider. Everyone forgot TR came out. You forget the SW hype is real.Keep in mind MS just released two HUGE exclusives this month, whereas Sony is relying solely on third party's this fall.

Arma 3 had the same numbers at its peak. It's hardcore-ness is irrelevant.Numbers make sense.
PC players know this is not a hardcore shooter. Not worth their time. Its beautiful for sure but just not worth paying all that money for a game that NEEDS people, which as the numbers show its better to be on a console.
Yep. There's going to be a lot of talk of disappointment in November's NPD thread. Before that, there'll be PAL numbers, and people will insist that maybe Star Wars just isn't as big in the UK, "just wait."
The biggest surprise to me continues to be that EA adjusted up to 13 million. Either they know something I don't (quite possible obviously) or they're crazy.
