Oh no, what happened blizzbros? I thought this game literally sold 10000 million copies.

Are those PC sales physical copies only?

I've seen physical copies of ow. Would have bought one too but they had this stupid anti theft device on them that fucked up the box

Notice how they keep using metrics like "revenue" (which includes autists wasting money on the cash shop) and "players" (which includes people at internet cafes). It's almost like they're too ashamed to reveal their actual sales numbers.
>>
>>344643835

Do you even realise how retarded you are?

>>344643127
all this proves is that overwatch kids are no better than LoL kids who spend their mom's credit card on dumbass skins

VGChartz only tracks physical copies, so yes.

It's an established fact that the Playstation Network alone made more money last year than ALL of Nintendo.

It appears we have finally reached the point where people by their games digitally in massive numbers. And of course, digital sales data is private.

Damn, It just dawned on me while typing this that retail video game stores are going to go extinct real fast.
>>
>>344644460
Retail video game stores will still exist, they will just sell you a digital code rather than a physical disc now. Some physical PC games already do that, they just include a code and no disc.
>>
>>344644460
That's going to change soon since they're making pretty good money through mobile.
>>
>Buying physical games

I bet you still buy CDs too grandpa

how pathetic

I bet there daily playerbase is only around 50,000 people at a time

But the vast majority of people bought Overwatch digitally

Fix'd that for you

I'm sure those missing 6 million sales are all on PC even though PC sales are always the lowest for any multiplat game.
>>

>even though PC sales are always the lowest for any multiplat game.
While PC sales are always the highest for any Blizzard game.
Also, for most multiplats PC outsells XB1.

overwatch is shit, i know it, i played the beta, i'm an hooman, shit game is what i feel.

i don't care about those kinds of numbers, i'm not a computer.

Overwatch numbers are probably dropping like crazy. The current map content is already stale, competitive mode was a huge flop, and we still have to wait 8+ months for Blizzard to release new shit.
>>
>>344642534
Witcher 3, Elder Scrolls and FFXIV all had physical retail releases
>>
>>344645704
I still don't understand why they didn't make a map editor for people to make custom game modes and shit like that. I mean TF2 had it and other blizzard games had it aswell.
>>
>>344645820
playerbase says it wants it when he doesn't want it.
custom map is deadblizzard already
>>
>>344645704
Fucking this! They're destroying their own game because they take that much time with new content and constantly fuck up the wishes of the community. (See Comp.)
>>
>>344645921
Did anyone expect anything different from ActiBlizzard? The same company who tells WoW players they think they want something but they don't and takes a full year to release new battle content? The same company that ran Starcraft and Heroes of the Storm into the ground because they don't listen to their players?
>>
>>344642534
There's literally hundreds of PC games on sale at every store near me
>>
OW is a FOTM game. It's shallow and simplistic as fuck.
>>
>>344642238
..so you think every person on the planet bought the game, and then a third of everyone decided to buy it twice?

You may be overestimating its popularity slightly.
>>
>>344642238
VGChartz only tracks physical copies sold.

Checkmate.
>>
>>344646723
Even for physical sales, that's pitiful for a heavily marketed AAA game by a established developer.
>>
>>344646723
And yet Diablo 3 still sold 5 million on pc alone according to vgchartz.
>>
>>344646849
Judging by threads here, Blizz probably made a fortune out of those stupid loot boxes anyway.

I once got banned for reporting a vgchartz thread and I was honestly surprised because I did not even know that such threads are allowed. it's literally "numbers out of my ass" the website and only fuels shitposting.
