Both are impressive.

Is 20% low compared to how much the game sold?
Thank The Division or than Rainbow Six Siege's launch?
The former, not at all, the latter, that's a pretty good hold.

3 hours on average per active user sounds rediculously high.
91% returning players in past 4 weeks. That is what they said in conference call.

After reaching max level and playing a bit of Dark Zone... I sold the game, it got way too repetitive even when playing with my friends... We all sold it actually. I hope Wildlands will have more gameplay and mission varieties.
It's a pretty good attach rate for a season pass. EA is forecasting 10% for Star Wars Battlefront for example, and Battlefield 3's lifetime was something like 24% after tons of sales.

How is the player retention though? Anecdotal, but all my friends that got the game no longer play it anymore.

Amount of copies sold per specific period of time?
Ahh yea I guess that would be it. I doubt it's going to outsell Destiny lifetime, but it had a fantastic launch.

It's tough to judge if there just counting players logging in or are they breaking it down by how long they are playing. The returning players could just be loggin in for 15 - 30 minutes to get some Phoenix Credits before playing something else or logging in once a week after server reset to see whats new.
it takes that long to matchmake into a CM that isn't bugged out. I am curious about how many users remain 'active' these days. The conversation around this game seems to have fallen off a cliff and there's really not much left to do. The announcement today that there wouldn't be a balance pass to weapons with the new update gave me one more reason to stay away.

Cool maybe they can use some of that money to make the endgame not suck total ass.
There is really no reason to continue playing unless you like to grief people in the dark Zone. shit is just pathetically sad.

Kinda expected for an online only game.
This'll probably be my last digital purchase, because I sure as hell wished I could have traded it in.

Wait for that next big DLC to drop in Destiny. Although I expect Ubisoft to plan something big like a 2.0 update to combat it.

I'm willing to bet almost anything that Destiny was able to retain its player base better than the division has based on the same period of time.
There's two more online focused AAA new IP games this fiscal year between For Honor and a game they're announcing at E3 that shockingly hasn't leaked yet.

I love the slide where Ubi boasts of their ability to churn out open world games constantly xD
Christ, and there's nothing out yet isn't there? =/

Good for them.
However I heard that the game doesn't have good end game. I'm not going to walk in that after being disappointed by a good game with no end game before.

Would be far more interested to know how many active players there currently are.
Conference call: http://edge.media-server.com/m/p/kdocc5px
First thing that's meaningful comes out in June. It's also a $40 season pass, so pretty good money!

Ubisoft is such a weird publisher to me personally. I constantly judge them for their templated, safe, vanilla designs and yet I continue to play the shit out of their games. They must be doing something right.

The endgame is just grinding Phoenix Credits and the Dark Zone. I highly doubt people are playing the endgame for 3 hours.

I'm so depressed by that kind of decisions.
All of the campaign material was at least good. Then level 30 came and everything became a grind, just to be able to manage AI too strong for your current level.
And being able to cope with players in the darkzone. PVP looks like nowhere skill based, just a matter of how much of your time are you ready to throw away to do the same things over and over and over again.
It's sad to see that those kind of design decision are welcomed by the playerbase, makes me feel so out of place.

20% attach rate for the season pass?
Bullshit.

I hope they expand on the multi from the first. I loved the invasion shit.
You can sue them for millions upon millions in investor fraud if you don't believe them.
Otherwise, we're not having that discussion.

damn, really? 91% of all 9.5 million users? That's insane.
I find it hard to believe. I know it's anecdotal evidence and all, but everyone I know who played it before has since quit. Good for them though. There's a good game there somewhere.
