>>46005894"Eight months after the game released 1,4 million people were willing to do the little event battle" is not remotely a bad number for player retention. The number of people that managed to killed Zeraora is not the full number of people that were playing the game at the time, it's a nice of a niche of a niche. It recquired someone to be someone that bought SwSh, that has Nintendo Online Subscription, which is still playing it, which could be bothered to try to kill Zeraora, which actualy managed it.
>>46005908That point doesn't really work, because you find identical results anyway if you look at the Playstation achivement lists.
The Last Guardian is a strictly hardcore game that only actual nerds bought and it's not even a long game and even then it has pitifully low 30%-ish number of people that actualy beat it when you check Achivement lists. Even non-normie-games are prone to leaking interest fast.
