How come the "Witcher 3 is GOTY!" meme didn't save it?

>Current Skyrim players:

>Current Witcher 3 players:
20,922

>People would still rather be playing Skyrim than Witcher 3

According to /v/, a bad game like Skyrim should have lost its appeal a long time ago. How come that isn't actually the case, and can someone explain this phenomenon? But more importantly, how come Witcher 3 doesn't have as good mod tools as Skyrim?

Witcher 3 fans even said the new DLC would save it, and certainly the Steam summer sale didn't help it

Because Skyrim runs on every casual pleb's potato-battery-powered i486 toaster.

I'm thinking Skyrim does better because
Endless amounts of mods
Easier to get into
Lower denominator
Lower requirements
Overhyped by its community

Because Skyrim is only on Steam and The Witcher 3 isn't :^)

I play on GOG

Problem?

What happened? They beat the game and continued playing their loli sex mods on Skyrim.

Seriously, do you honestly think people play vanilla Skyrim? They install that shit and immediately get into the mods.
Just look at /tesg/ for fuck's sake.

Got a source for that bullshit or what?

Like most AAA games, it sold the majority of its copies in the launch window.

I can't speak for other people, but I'm probably part of the demographic that is skewing the numbers.

I have only 9 hours played in TW3, and that was on release day (the 2016 date was just fired up on my laptop to test).

I absolutely love The Witcher series and have little doubt TW3 will be the best game I've ever played, let alone GOTY 2015. But I have only beaten White Orchard, in 2015 no less because playing that part with choppy framerates made me realize that you can't play a masterpiece like TW3 on a toaster.

So since last year I've been building my PC, all I'm missing now is my GTX1070 SC on which I will play and beat The Witcher 3 in 21:9 aspect ratio.

Actually once my PC is complete, I might play through Skyrim FIRST so I can get it out of the way, and saving TW3 for last.

I don't get why other companies don't jump on this genre. If Bethesda had more competition the TES games wouldn't be so popular.

You need to play some more games, then.

It looks nice and the presentation is excellent, but that's it. Gameplay is fucking dogshit like Skyrim or DA:I, there's no depth or variation. You're using the same two or three sword swings and handful of spells on the same enemies for 100 hours.

Well I'm not a gameplay fag at all.
All I ask out of the gameplay for any game is that it's serviceable.
For the record, I thought Thief Gold's gameplay was pretty good, as was Alan Wake's.

Witcher is more of a movie than a game. You dump it after beating it once.

Goldenface is that you? Are you still posting this stale bait? Or is this a copy cat?

I'll refrain from calling you any childish names and politely suggest that you may be playing games for the wrong reasons.
