But Steam sucks... I can only download at 400kb/s. Help me @Gue1! You're my only hope!

lol fucking gue

GOAT.

Very impressive. The PC market is big for fossil or indie titles.

This is just steamspy stats, and it's not really 60M games sold on steam. It's the change in the number of owners from one month to the next

Fingered sounds like a good VR game

That is hard copy not Steam or any form of DD.

Lol L4D2 is in there still...that's awesome....this mean L4D3 is a very strong possibility, unless they don't want money

@b_rich84: As are the consoles. These didn't include digital sales for both consoles or PC.

I highly doubt that. Steam doesn't release their true numbers to the public and neither does Amazon as far as numbers on DD go.

Sony and Microsoft do. Anything sold on the PSN or Live is in those numbers. Its is public knowledge.

Plus what does it truly matter? The game had such a massive headstart on those systems that everybody had already played it anyway. The PC has sold over a million copies and quite frankly that is pretty good since the game was already almost 2 years old.

They don't track digital sales at all unless that changed in recent years.

Plus it does matter because it shows where the market is at. The head start is because of consoles are number 1 priority. PC is just an afterthought.

Meaning this isn't tracking anyone's data whose profile is private?

Why would you put that pic up when it doesn't even show Steam numbers. It's absolutely meaningless...

@hernandezzzz: Doesn't include XBL and PSN version either.

Correct

1. I say it does.

2. Steam is an absolutely massive market. Putting up PC numbers without adding the Steam sales is, well... stupid.

I believe it was said somewhere that Digital downloads were 75% of GTA V sales on PC

@hernandezzzz: I doubt steam sales can come anywhere near that 55+ million sold on consoles. How do we know digital sales here included for console and not PC?

Legend posts a pic, which leaves off a giant bulk of the PC numbers due to lacking digital sales. Proceeds to say it doesn't include consoles digital sales either, as if that is the equivalent of the PC DD market, where in many countries hard copies are just completely lacking. I can't remember the last time I saw a hard copy PC section in Canada.

Flawed logic is flawed.

You were already told why. But it's irrelevant anyway, even if they sold 500 billion digital copies on consoles, it's stillfucking stupid to post PC sales without Steam.

And this is coming from a huge cow. I could be having fun taunting lems with those PS4 numbers, but even I'm telling you it's dumb.

55+million copies sold on consoles. PC would barely 2 million according to @lostribs. It's not even close who's market is bigger.

Which would be weird for a game that was last reported to have sold 54 million across all platforms

Okay. Your comparison is flawed... Your argument may well be sound, but your proof is severely lacking.

Witcher3 sold most on PC. Don't be upset PC has more gaming revenue than all 3 consoles combined.

1) it's 54 million in total

2) I don't know how you came to 2 million

3) tag me correctly

@lundy86_4: With something as obviously as this, do we really need proof?

It's lolVgchartz for crying out lo0ud.

Of course. Unless your goal is to look stupid.

Well he used VGchartz so....

Then even screwed up the analysis... It's like a 2-in-1 screw up.

nope.. Proof is right there. 54-55 million sales on consoles.

1.) not much difference with a number that big. 52-53 million and console and a miliion on pc probably

2.) 75% sales are digital so VG numbers are 25% of it.

3.) generic username with generic avatar, no offense.

There's not much to argue here. You used a faulty comparison to prove your point. Like I said, you could be right, but your comparison is flawed. Sorry.

But I'm right and you know it. I'd discredit VG if the numbers were close but PC couldn't even top Xbox One, a subset of consoles.

Like I said, you could be right. I don't really know, as it would just take a ridiculous amount of research, rather than a simple assertion... Especially a flawed one, using flawed evidence for the basis.

You're lying to me or to yourself if you are stating that you don't really know. It's likely the reason it came to PC so late as an after though. They probably knew most of the money made would be on consoles so they focused on those first. Genius in my books as the next generation edition once again sold more than PC and there's little to no sales like Steam which means a higher profit margin.

How can @Legend002 be this stupid?

Must be trolling.

How mad can one be? Careful with that salt level.

He's a tryhard...

Still waiting for that proof, fake PC gamer.

Nobody is trying to debunk my theory? I didn't really need to try hard this time.

@Legend002:

You've debunked yourself already.

No one believes the digital sales of the console market is even remotely close to the digital sales of PC. Stop trolling.

It's called "self ownage" you've done it to yourself three times today.

50+ million console sales. Nuff said.

Well it does matter to get the number correct

Pretty sure it's not an issue with my avatar/username being generic, but rather that i've had a number of imposters

Not sure how you're coming up with these numbers for PC, or why you are trusting the VG numbers. At least the steam spy numbers are extrapolated from user accounts, and those put it at ~3 million owners just on steam

@Legend002:

Well using your own numbers, GTAV sold 54M copies on consoles IN TWO YEARS. 60M copies of games has been sold on Steam in ONE MONTH. You see the difference

54 M - 2 Years - consoles

60M - 1 Month - PC

Owned :P

@Legend002: You are such a shit poster.

Looks like LEGEND is not really a true legend after all.

@-God-: He is a legend...at being owned.

This pc masterrace smh

Embarrassed to even be called a gamer

Nope. Direct from Take Two: "54 million units across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

Even your VGChartz numbers prove that the total number includes digital sales.

Steamspy has a better track record than VGChartz:

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/rocket-league-sells-1-million-on-steam/1100-6430136/

http://steamspy.com/app/252950

So I would trust this : http://steamspy.com/app/271590 and the unknown alternative retailer numbers (Amazon, Rockstar, etc.) for the 75% than I would VGChartz for the 25%. And at 2.93m on just Steam that would put retail at almost 1m following the 75/25 logic. This would mean VGChartz is way off on it's metrics.

Plus this: That SteamSpy record is for Steam ONLY. It does not include those who directly bought from Rockstar Social Club.

And I do not know if Origin and uPlayl sell GTA5 in their store.
