Pokemon Go Destiny League Of Legends Profits September 2016

At last week’s opening presser, despite the low expectations Sony had set for fans, the publisher still managed to fall below them, with only a handful of new demos and teasers to satiate an increasingly ravenous group of players after the past few disappointing months. Even seemingly obvious reveals , such as a God of War or Detroit: Become Human release date, or any footage whatsoever for Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, or The Last of Us: Part II, were inexplicably left out, as fans were forced to sit through over two hours of developer interviews and several trailers that were debuted earlier this year, including the night before at the more hypeworthy Game Awards. While this series of events would be more excusable if Sony's 2018 lineup was relatively empty, their inability to capitalize on their packed lineup for 2018, one that arguably stands head and shoulders above the other big two in gaming at this point in time, is jaw-dropping, with no release dates for any of their seven big first-party titles slated for next year, despite several supposedly expected to arrive sometime in the next six months .

Keep in mind that the ordering here isn't necessarily the focus. Certain games complete their circuits at different points in the year, so games like League of Legends and Overwatch haven't completed their largest tournaments yet. Or take for instance Madden NFL 17 , sitting at $904,000, which won't climb much higher since Madden NFL 18 is now availab

For those looking for an even more thorough analysis, however, research firm SuperData has quickly made a name for itself in video games due to the company's willingness to examine more online-oriented data like microtransaction sales and the like. Recently, SuperData finally released its findings for the September 2016 period, and it appears that the dominance of some of gaming's biggest titles will not be broken easily - Pokemon go directly to Strategynewsbase.com , Destiny , and League of Legends topped the cash grossing charts for mobile, console, and PC gaming respectiv

eSports in 2017 is larger than ever and there's no better evidence of that than the amount of prize money tournaments are offering. In 2017 alone, more than $73 million dollars have been won by players across more than 70 different games, with four months left in the year. At the top reigns Dota 2 after its massive $25 million pool for The International 2017 , but it's not the only game funding a stable and sustainable environment for players. 12 different games have now crossed the $1,000,000 prize pool mark, with more quickly approach

We also learn about the " PlayStation Presents! " presentation that will come on Friday, December 8th at 8:00 PM Pacific Time. According to the post, most of the biggest announcements of the year have come and gone at E3 and Paris Games Week, but there are a few "stocking stuffers" coming at PlayStation Experience, including discussions with top PlayStation developers, updates on key titles and some "special announcemen

Those numbers are slanted because most game scenes are inclusive for casual players, but some are bigger than others. $1,000,000 of Quake Champions ' $1,013.988 comes from just two major tournaments whereas Counter Strike: Global Offensive 's $10,728,225 comes from 510 tournaments. Both are impressive, but both aren't supportive of growing, thriving, and healthy player-ba

Even though SuperData's reports confirm more of the same kind of results video game fans have come to expect in 2016, there are still a number of interesting insights to be gleaned from what the firm has found. Bolstered by sales that were stronger than Destiny 's initial launch period, the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron in September rocketed Bungie's shooter to the top of the console charts over traditionally dominant fall releases like FIFA

While these bizarre choices to keep certain games longer in the dark than others could be interpreted as Sony having faith in their first-parties to be big sellers without any additional marketing above and beyond the necessary, it instead tends to come across as ignorance at the clear bounty Sony has at their disposal. Fortunately, Sony’s mistakes during the past year have the luxury of being labeled as an "off-year" and can be completely disregarded as Sony continues to make plans for the next year in marketing. If Sony can reinstate a focus on E3 and PSX being the dates for fans to salivate at, and making sure their first-party titles can present something substantial in-between these six month gaps in at least one of the two events, as Sony has proven they can over the past few years, the publisher can return to being the giant to topple at some of the year’s biggest industry events.
