RE: New game released today - risen for the rise?14 Nov 2024 13:33
I wouldn't say it is the reason at all. Saying that, the market is confused in my opinion. The reason should be still Balatro. This game is huge and the rise of the Golden Idol pales in comparison to current day to day sales. Balatro hops between no2 and number 4 of all games sold gloabally on iphone. It has never dropped from number 1 on Playstore since release in late September..Balatro's discord group has over 60k and its reddit group/substack 119k. Both growing. My calculation on sales count on PC sales is over 2.25 million. Mobile sales is harder to work out but it is not insubstantial. Moving away from.Balatro, Abiotic Factor is also enourmously successful. My estimate is 850k sales now. This game is almost twice the price of Balatro. Sales are continuous.
Back to Golden Idol. Reviews so far are excellent but sales will be way way lower than both of these. It will be however absolutely profitable and it wasnt long ago Playstack boasted about the success of the case of the Golden idol which is now a minnow. I am not surprised that we havent seen a TU from TRU on this. Beyond these games we have Unbeatable coming up next year, an Anime game that is years ine making..who knows what happens there. Then we have Mortal Shell. The future is very very bright for Plsystack. --- I have more good things to say on Oxygen but will leave that for another day...
