Go and watch the video and then continue reading this.
The list is a load of rubbish as it doesn't include Minecraft (30,000,000 x 30,000,000 metres) or Elite Dangerous ...
But the video does claim No Man's Sky has "A Quintillion Planets".
This is a quintillion written as a number .... 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 ... that's 18 zeros
Now us lot on the Frontier Forum are familiar with Elite Dangerous having 400 billion (400,000,000,000) systems to visit, but the question is, just how many actual planets are there in those 400 billion systems? Is it more than No Man's Sky's quintillion?
I'm going to take a wild guess that it isn't ... for Elite Dangerous to match No Man's Sky, each of the 400 billion systems would have to have 2,500,000 planets.
Now, the real question is area ... are No Man's Sky's quintillion planets smaller than Elite Dangerous? Could Elite Dangerous out-do No Man's Sky in actual square miles of explorable terrain? ... I honestly have no idea.
We also have to take into account the space between each planet ... who wins that one?
