How many of those are to South Korean bot farms? I call BS that it sold that well legitimately. It's going to be a Disney buying their own tickets type racket.
Looking at games I like and have played...
Forza Horizon 5 did 4.5m players in the first month and it was available on Game Pass for free.
Fortnite's peak was around 50m players and that was a free game, available on every platform.
You're telling me it's 3x Forza and over 20% of Fortnite's peak, a game that was so ubiquitous that it was referenced in popular culture, and the guy who won the Fortnite World Cup was even brought on TV to show the trophy? A game so popular that players did dances from it at the 2018 Football World Cup Final?
Most people who buy games are male and Rowling is a feminist freak. I'm calling absolute fucking BS.
Come on, man. We've been over this. It set records. It's legitimately hugely popular. At least two of my Steam friends and one of my IRL acquaintances are playing it.
12m is ridiculous. That would mean that an extremely niche title that only fans of a children's book would play, that's $70 retail, blew everything else out of the water.
I'm not buying into that. I can believe it sold well, I'm not believing that it's the biggest thing in games, period.

I think it counts as niche, because it's very much something that you have to be heavily into to consider playing.
Somebody who only casually likes football might play FIFA, but somebody who only knows a little about Harry Potter won't have fun with this game.
