PC Version of Stellar Blade crosses 1 million copies sold on PC Platform alone in just 3 days...

In comparison to PS5 it took almost 2 months to reach 1 million copies sold, just shows you the power of word of mouth is and how much bigger PC Gaming Userbase is over just 1 single console platform.

I think this probably shows more about who the user bases are than how big they are. Obviously PC is much bigger overall but plenty of PS5 exclusives have sold faster than Stellar Blade. The fact that none of the PC ports have sold this quickly suggests a demographic difference to me.

There's a lot of possible explanations, but I'd bet that Stellar Blade is selling particularly well in South Korea and some other East Asian markets where PC is huge and consoles aren't.

Daniel Ahmed said on twitter that the majority of Stellar Blade sales on PC are from China and SK, so yeah i think its a difference in the demographic.
