It means that at one point, 527K players around the world were playing at once. Right back at you. How much did it sell on PC? Not just in the UK but in the whole world. Your boy made the claim that the UK sales prove that publishers aren't leaving a lot of money on the table on PC. How do the UK sales prove it? You guys made the claim and used a weak-as-hell argument to back it up. UK sales =/= worldwide sales.

10th place has 700K players. 527K concurrent players is A LOT as I mentioned before. It's more than Helldivers II which is considered a smash hit. That it sold 12% in the UK in no way means the number is consistent worldwide so this proves nothing...beyond what it does for the UK.
Yet you agree with the claim that they're not leaving tons of money on PC, do you not? If Hogwarts Legacy didn't make much money on PC, how is it not a flop lol?
Without any proof? Are you joking lol? Sony is porting their games to PC and Microsoft has been doing it for years, clearly, there's money to be had on PC. The split of Helldivers 2 was around 50/50 on PS5 vs PC and according to the latest global report, PC brings in more money than any individual console. Capcom went out and said they'd focus on PC and so on. There's a bigger shift on PC than ever before.
I'd say 43% is a pretty huge number, wouldn't you? That's 76% of the entire console market.
Exactly, you have "some data" from a single place but somehow are using it to validate that PC doesn't sell that much worldwide? And you have the nerve to tell me you're just "using facts" please.
No, it isn't. The objective is agenda-driven and very clearly meant to fight against PC fanboys by downplaying the significance of the PC market share. You're incorrectly extrapolating data to use as a "gotcha" moment. You're every bit as bad as the fanboys.
Oh, I love fighting misinformation but not with more misinformation and deliberate misinterpretation of data.
What this proves is that Hogwarts Legacy in the UK on PC only accounts for 12% of the total sales. This proves that Hogwarts Legacy on PC is only a small part of the overall sales in the UK. You went and used that data to prove that people claiming that publishers are leaving a lot of money on PC are wrong as if the UK was the entire world.
