    Oh, wait! Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Cyberpunk 2077, RE Village, RDR2... long list, you get it. (I know, different games and not perfect, but still fun)
    Outriders, WH40k Darktide, Necromunda Hired Gun, Halo Infinite(if it releases in 2021), Farcry 6, Back 4 Blood, and I'm sure a few others.

    I really wish I could sit in on the corporate meetings about the Division franchise. But I suspect it would go something like "PUT ALL RESOURCES ON MOBILE/BR! That's where the money is! F**k all other considerations!"

    Hehe, we'll see about Far Cry 6 and other unreleased games.

    Well, my TD2 agent is signing off... don't know if and when will be back. See ya' (maybe).

    Hmmm!

    We were told that The Division and Division 2 had a total of 40 million players across both games right.

    So i did some number checking between the 2 games on the X box and the Playstation consoles. PC i can't find many numbers.

    Right total of 40 million players across both games.


    The Division PS4 10 million 200,000
    The Division 2 PS4 5 million 200,000

    The Division X box 11 million 500,000
    The Division 2 X box 4 million 300,000

    Totals
    The Division ,,,,,,,21.7 million players on console
    The Division 2,,,,, 9.5 million players on console

    Total 31.2 million players

    That leaves out of the 40 million total about 8.8 million on PC.

    So my Question is How many players is Thylander talking about what platforms and what real time frame.?

    It depends on what your real goals are. Because if you care more about reducing your recurring out the door costs, more than you care about player satisfaction, what happened today is actually a really, really good strategy.

    Brilliant actually, because it won't have a significant impact on new sales because most people that buy it don't even finish the story. The minority that do, most of them call it "done" and move on to the next shiny ball. It is but a small sliver of the overall sold game count that represents people who are in the end game waiting for season repeats.

    And they know from experience they can pretty much make any mistake and still not lose us.

    I read that tweet as the active player count two years after release. Bear in mind that Div 1 was still receiving content updates (i.e. new legendaries) whereas Div 2 won't be for another six months.

    [edit] and because some muppet will claim I'm shilling for Ubi, nope. I'm pointing out that their corporate goal is to grow the Division franchise. Keeping highly-engaged players interested is secondary to that.

    That's been obvious since we discovered Seasons would only give one new mission per quarter.
