I'm surprised the PC version is so low relatively. Isn't that the only place with mods?

The vast majority of the minecraft crowd aren't into mods. You know, since they're 12 and just play on multiplayer servers and mess around

I'm surprised how India get close to China so fast in population.
I know China do population control for decades already but even so the gap was bigger in the past.

Rocket League: 15M Players, 5M Sold Copies, 5M units of DLC, $110M Earned. - NeoGAF

Forbes (contributor) interview with Psyonix: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain.../#4b9f91d18c74

Now that figure has grown to over $110 million and counting, with over 5 million units sold across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. On top of base game sales, Psyonix has sold over 5 million units of DLC (downloadable content) for Rocket League across all three platforms.
 “Our numbers are actually going up, not down,” Psyonix vice president Jeremy Dunham tells me, “which is not very common for a game that’s ten months old.”Over 15 million gamers have played Rocket League between July of last year and now, with over 5 million active players in April of this year alone.

 

Rocket League debuted as a paid game on Steam (PC) and as a free download for PlayStation Plus members on PS4 last year. Free is key here, and it’s little wonder that Sony’s console still boasts the most active players, tallying 42% of the total active player base.
 As Dunham points out, “Thanks to PlayStation Plus at launch, those numbers are really front-loaded in the beginning.”
 In fact, Steam is catching up, Dunham says, and PC is actually the top-selling platform for Rocket League (not counting free downloads) and has the most engaged audience. Steam accounts for 36% of Rocket League’s active player base and growing, while Xbox One comes in third with just 22%. 22% is actually a pretty impressive number given that Xbox One gamers weren’t able to even purchase the game until February of 2016—half a year after its release on other platforms.

 

Much more at the link.

Holly fudge that's a lot of money.

I wonder if they'll try to keep expanding rocket league or if they'll focus on a new IP now.

India Population (2016) - Worldometers

Exactly... at same period India jumped from 400k to 1.3b while China jumped from 800k to 1.3b.
It is close to 2x faster pop increase.

And it is a hell of crazy see a country increasing the size 3x Brasil in five decades lol

[darkknightkryta]

I think it's more crazy that half the population in the world are in countries that border each other.

[Ludicrous Speed]

53k a day, holy shitballs.

'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' (-27%) is at No2 while Bethesda's 'Doom' (-33%) remains at No3.

The highest ranking new release comes in the form of a re-release as 'Dead Island: Definitive Edition' rises at No5. Koch Media combine re-mastered versions of Dead Island and its sequel Dead Island: Riptide for PS4 and Xbox One. The half term break continues to draw strong sales for more familiar faces with 'Grand Theft Auto V' (+66%) the chief benefactor climbing four places to No6. Koch Media's second Top 10 title 'Homefront: The Revolution' (-36%) slips six places to round of the Top 10 at No10.
