>>28647237Depends on what metrics you use (so of course it's highly dependant on your own bias and what you're trying to prove).
I don't know or care enough about how it works on the twitch side of things, so if someone wants to explain how Vshojo is faring, please do.
So let's just look at a variety of metrics between HoloEN and NijiEN.
>SubsHoloEN outperforms, largely by function of their first-mover advantage and having a lightning-in-a-bottle talent like Gura in them. Things get a little murkier when you only compare recent subgrowth and their recent gens, for example the favorite slapfight of Council vs Luxiem. It probably won't spell doom, and Holo will probably still be the overall top dog for a while, but they can't afford to get too complacent as the others are catching up and eating more and more into their share
>CCVAgain, HoloEN mostly outperforms. There are several instances of a high-ranking NijiEN talent already doing consistently better than a low-ranking HoloEN talent, but overall the total aggregate count still favors HoloEN
>Vod viewsSame as above, barring the odd few individual exceptions, HoloEN comes out on top overall
>SCsStarts to get tricky. HoloEN still outperforms overall, especially when you just take total lifetime SC earnings into account and HoloEN naturally was around for longer to collect more and the first few months when Myth were the only game in town they were making really good money. They still do, but it seems to have plateaued/reclined a bit. Now, Council definetly makes less then Myth, so the downtrend is there. Sure, they still made more than the NijiEN females that were around in their time, but when the males arrived they really BTFOd Council after that.
Overall verdict - yeah, based on past metrics, HoloEN outperforms NijiEN (especially the more you look backwards), and it would be pretty hard to argue otherwise. And they can probably afford to coast along carried on their built up past success inertia for a good while longer before you can make a case that Niji has caught up so much that NijiEN (as a whole) is outperforming HoloEN (as a whole). Whether that happens or not will depend on the future moves each company takes, for example if Cover manages to put out another lightning-in-a-bottle golden gen with EN3 they could pull ahead even farther again, and if they only put out another underwhelming disappointment like Council and lose more ground to a competition that's ever more catching up, they have no one to blame but themselves
