Yeh a pity we don't know. I hope its successful on PS4 too. [up]
It must be a viable number base as they wouldn't do a ps4 port as financially it wouldn't make sense to do it if The Xbox wasn't a viable platform numbers wise. No point getting shafted with two lame console ducks, so the fact they are doing another console version would suggest we are not a millstone round their neck and it makes sense to get another rod in the fire
Well, if you fly through the starter systems (Eravate, Ngaliba etc) there are usually a good number of Noobwinders pottering about so I guess a steady influx of new CMDRs
I wonder if the game preview free download skewed the numbers at all.
No other game on Xbox comes close to Elite and the space sim genre is pretty hot at the minute, so I'd say there are plenty of players.

There are definatly loads of players and from what i gather its predominatly older players too.
Would be nicd if xbox reccognised the community and gave us regular news about ed maybe a regular spot on this week on xbox with majornelson instead of the games no one plays

I definitely see alot more players randomly in open than I did about 12-18months ago. The Combat CGs tend to break 10000 contributors pretty much every time now, I remember when it would barely hit 3/4000. Look at the one that just finished, 12000+ contributors and not everyone bothers with cgs so there are definitely more players it seems.
True, that is a good indicator of numbers if you add on an extra couple of thousand maybe for those that haven't bothered with them, and explorers.

Community goals are cross platform. Keep that in mind. We share community goal stats with PC players.
I think most of them tend to stay in popular areas though. I can fly for weeks around my usual areas and not see a soul. Flew to Diaguandri once I had cash for an Anaconda and was surprised to see that many players on Xbox

I would take a guess that its doing fairly well for itself on the xbone. Im basing that on the part about good space sim type games like this are rare on consoles, but the demand fer one has been there fer years. Its currently the best of a limited choice, and comes close to best ever on any platform.
Ye, fairly sure numbers are good but only smarties and FD have the real answers. Fer my part, Im already a multi platform gamer anyway and tbh, Im using my xbone account a lot more simply because its easier, and still looks fairly decent compared to a mid range three times as expensive pc. Long term, the future is consoles and FD know this judging on the ports to both of the biggest...bone and ps4 ^
Ports such as this are not unique, but they are a major investment which comes with certain obligations to microsoft and sony to keep the game updated. I doubt they took such decisions lightly...its a huge untapped market with so little competition in this genre ^

Well we do know that Frontier had sold about 2 millions items which includes both games and merchandise.
I think we are only few thousands on Xbox One
The reason why we got multi crew know is that Frontier fears Star Citizens, they have 2 millions beta tester right now, the game will be on the marked this year.
The patch 1,3 might be the last patch we gonna see. Frontier is in lacks money, that's why the push so many items in to the store for us to buy.
We can only wait and see, if the pc gamers are going to leave Elite Dangerous to play Star Citizens we are doomed, and the game will end with patch 1,3.

Is that based on any information or just a guess?
