yeah, there's no way they sold that much. they were just celebrating 8 million steam sales not too long ago, if they were at 20+mil at the minimum they would have said something by now

Anyone else having a problem with their Xbox Series X overheat while playing Palworlds and your system just overheats ?

If they were truly at 20+ million already, they could respond to TPC by saying, "we are the Pokémon now."

They are probably at 10 million by now, but maybe not. I could see them keeping a low profile for now while they work things through.

Either way, no matter how much more they've sold than the 8m, they're effectively set for whatever they want to do next. They could pretty much self-publish a AAA game if they wanted to.

Damn...

MS might have replied to them with the GP/XBOX sales of the first week then

Maybe they'll announce the full sales now, all tallied up?

What if a Sony announcement PS, tho?

How the hell do these sites have such a big difference in calculation? It makes me not believe any of them.

none of them are super accurate in general but the real answer is that things like palworld in the middle of millions of sales a day is inherently an out of distribution event, theres no training data to compare it to

haven't had much time to play it, but have put a bit of time in it and its pretty fun. The crafting I really don't care for (in any game, really), but the visuals are nice.

Gamalytic currently has Palworld at 18M, so IDK about that...

A good thing to know is that most of those models is that they work on a delay caused by their data collection / calculations, so they normally are telling you what they expect sales to be X days ago, so if the model is saying they sold 8M the moment they announced 8M, it is kind of an "error" . It works better
But in general, its just hard to for most of these models to estimate these kind of outlier cases as they are trained / created around more normal behaviour. And the people promoting these estimates should make a better job at explaining when a number really feels like an outlier (like in this case, or when SteamSpy had Monster Hunter World having sold like 10M on PC despite no major announcement from Capcom).

I want to say to everyone that I apologize for my behavior several days ago in this thread

I still have negative feelings about this game, but I definitely took it too fucking far. I just…when I feel like I'm talking about something I feel is important, I get tunnel vision. Not mad but like. I guess there is a part of me that cares about winning debates and feeling superiority to people…

I hate this part of myself and I'm going to work to cut it out. I just wish that I knew how to advocate for people like artists or social causes without like. Getting like this.

Once again, I'm sorry. I'm gonna try to turn this into a positive and change for the better.

Fun fact - Palworld was the #1 best selling global game for the past 2 weeks on Steam. In both weeks, Palworld was the #1 selling game in 28 out of the 29 countries tracked by Steam. The only country where Palworld didn't hit #1 in both weeks was UK. Palworld was #2 in both weeks, with Steam Deck taking the #1 spot in both weeks in the UK.

More impressive is that these charts are based on revenue and the game is $30 or less, with no mtx.

Yeah, poor bastards were really unprepared for their quick ascent to deitylike popular.

Man, what it must be like to suddenly turn around and realize you're selling a million fucking copies a day that first week when you were hoping to get like atleast 500k or something.

Yup, exactly. It's essentially selling 2x+ more than games costing $70.

Correct! Technically, Palworld was the #1 best selling game in the UK in the last 2 weeks. Steam, however, likes to include hardware in their charts.

It's okay, my friend. Sometimes in the heat of discussion we may get carried on, and certainly you make excellent points, as well. Thanks for contributing, too. 😊

I agree with sone of your stances on the issue but, yeah, the internet tends to amplify these bad traits in us lol.

You apologizing and realizing your mistake already makes you one of the better members here tbh.

You are all good mate, it can always get heated when we feel passionate about our hobbies and likes. As long as you work on being critically open minded you'll be able to enjoy debating without the need for a "win" per say. Plus, at least how I've found it, the key is to utilise specific emotional heavy words dependent on your desired outcome.

Anyway, keep your head held high codger and you'll be good.

7m xbx is higher than I expected. This game would be stratospheric on ps and switch.
