Three Years of Astroneer: By The Numbers | by System Era | Mar, 2022 | Medium

$75 million revenue, 3,470,000 unit sales. Averages $20 per copy so I guess the vast majority of those sales happened while it was on sale, usually it's $30.

ASTRONEER Steam Price History & Sales
Steam price history shows it was $20, down to $16, but lately it's been $30 down to $20 on sale.

But things get a lot trickier if you start counting other regions:
https://steamdb.info/app/361420/

In like half of these regions, the regular price is like $15 or less, with sales down to $7.50

So it's interesting.

is "Xbox" include series x/s and Xbox one?   if so that's a huge skew to PS4/5 over Xbox. 

that can't be all install base can it?!?

16 / 56 = 28.5% or 40/16 = 2.5

PlayStation lead isn't that big is it?

This is Europe only. I'm not sure how big the skew is, but it's bigger than worldwide.

The souls series might skew even further on PlayStation.

And Gamepass might be skewing it even further (it's not on Gamepass, but people might be avoiding day 1 games in anticipation of it coming or just waiting for a sale).

I know Europe skus ps moresoe than other places but I thought it was "other" where most of ps's lead comes from.  

it's the gamepass effect I'd point at but without knowing the user base breakdown I can't say much.

Biggest GT ever dollar wise, (easy at $70 )

Elden Ring only behind Call of Duty over the past 12 months.

[Dr. Pezus]

Pretty great for GT considering it's the US and the franchise isn't as popular as before

[kitler53]

dang elden ring is a massive success.
