Metro: Exodus sold 2.5x more than Metro: Last Light on Steam launch aligned

It's already working seeing how people are already saying "oh yeah?! Well 2.5x!" in other threads.
stop bringing up the Steam pre-order thing, that's not gonna move the needle enough to have a performance like this be completely thrown off balance unless you're telling me 1 day of preorders was enough
Actually, you are. Youre saying they said things they never once said , clarified or implied.
? You do know that the Steam version had several months of preorders by the time it was pulled out, right?
How clearer can it be than « launch aligned, EGS sales are 2.5 times those of Metro last Light ln steam
Where do you get that it includes steam preorder sales in it?
Again SOURCE your claim
Bullshit, they did say it. Read the Polygon article.
Plain as day. The game sold more on JUST the EGS than the last game did on STEAM.
Nowhere does it say EGS only sales. You're making this up. Please provide proof otherwise.
Man the irony is strong with Nvidia as your avatar and geforce as a name
It is such a weird comparison because Exodus this year is so so much bigger than Last Light when it launched. Its apples to oranges to games. I do also want to know if this is only EGS purchases. And also If the Last Light number includes physical copies, as the EGS most certainly does.
You know that it has a higher all time player count just on steam than Last Light did?
Try reading that article again. They didnt get any info from Epic at all. They watched the same conference you and I watched and made their own conclusions of it.
I know that the regional pricing of this game is also way better than Last Light's was
I also know that this is a very silly argument to make because Last Light was a damn 2013 game
This ain't it chief
No, you didn't . You posted a article from someone that made an article based on the same conference you and I watched. They didn't contact Epic games for this and no press release has been (yet at least) sent out.
This is irrelevant
Again state your SOURCE for the included steam sales (but you can't because you have none so you're making shit up and covering your base with vague comments)
That is not correct. Metro Exodus' concurrent user peak on Steam alone was many times bigger than Last Light Redux's peak. Preorders alone were enough for that difference.

Highly marketed and well received sequel sells more than previously low-profile eurojank game, good for 4A I guess. Who knows how much it would have sold on Steam? Makes for good exclusivity wars arguments I guess.
And then you invented the fact that they added Steam sales, with zero evidence, even though both they and everyone reporting on it is claiming otherwise?
So where is your evidence...for the 4th time? Quit beating around the bush and state your source. If you have no proof, no inside info, then quit pretending you do and acting like what you are saying is fact, because you just made it up.
Aha, yeah I was looking through the steamdb page of the game, so I guess the price was base $60 for ya on Steam (just like my region).
Last Light was also sold on shops outside Steam. Since Steam was most expensive for Last Light, it's no surprise it sold less on Steam.
No EGS keys for Exodus were sold outside of physical copies and key resellers.
I'd say for most people they are just launchers, it's a vocal minority.
Press release says Epic store sales only, so operate on that unless we get other info throwing that off.
I think people are taking this the wrong way in thinking this implies EGS exclusivity was of benefit to the game (though it seems like that's what the devs are going for in their messaging). That's difficult to know, it may have sold even more on Steam. However it does show that exclusive games on EGS can be successful and that people are willing to use and buy off their store.
Remember that this is the community that thought the Vita TV was going to be a smash hit
Games sales comparisons are done all the time within the sane franchise and no one brings those stupid arguments
No one is saying « different games, different times » for KH3 in the NPD thread. It's just pure unfiltered salt
It's interesting to see the attitude "I go where the games are" is a legit argument in the decision which console to buy but choosing a launcher/store application where the barrier is to install a client and make an account for PC games is not.
No way, it's no different than when we get sales threads and they say if it's up or down vs the previous title.
