Well maybe but I don't think that would cover it all.
Then why bother with a PC release at all?
Two million is a more reasonable number I guess but wouldn't you have to spend a lot of that profit on a port and then support and patches?
Is it a flop anons...

no, sales across all platforms make the same money. Even PSN sales outdid Steam sales where the cut is equal. (30% goes to the service provider, the rest dev/pub split managed however it is)
No, it didn't. After a half off sale it finally broke to 900k.
publicity? You don't have to make a particularly good port so not a lot of bodies are needed to be paid for it, and very often the users will fix any other issues themselves.

yeah, the meme that the PC gaming audience is bigger because there's more PCs than there are people in the world is really deceitful and adds nothing to discussion. It's all about what the audience actually wants. RTS? Best target the PC because the genre has been practically exclusive for its existence on PC, so the majority of the audience is there. High speed character action? Your target platform should be something like playstation.

All consoles use the same infrastructure as most computers now so there's no reason not to. For fucks sake Sony had a presentation whenever it was where they announced you can now directly port gamemaker games to PS4 and they'll do the legwork for you. It's why Undertale™ got a special edition.

Oh ok. I didn't know that.

A Tomato broke 2.5 mil worldwide on all systems last week or two weeks ago, I believe. Currently the best selling game in Japland somehow.

Not really, this game wasn't a bloated development money sink like FF XV was, so the sales are fine (and are probably around the same on the PS4). A lot of anons get too used to the budget and costs of AAA games that need huge numbers to make a profit.
Nathan Richardson
Fuck, I meant to post this.
Easton Reed
fuck no. It's a world apart in sales.

Tekken is the most selling fighting game franchise and I think T7 on Steam has like 400+k owners after like half a year. Compare it to that
