The Superdata website has released a report on developments in the digital video game market. The Battle Royale shooter Fortnite is also an issue here. The company says the game has had less revenue than it has had since January 2017. The developer Epic disagrees with the statement.
The developer studio told the Gamesindustry.biz website that Superdata has no access to Fortnite's sales. Therefore, they cannot estimate how well the game is currently going.
»Superdata uses questionable methods!«
The Fortnite operator states that Superdata repeatedly makes false and inaccurate statements about the game and accuses them of questionable methods for collecting their data use. Epic itself does not disclose the exact figures to the public and describes the statistics firm's values as unrealistic.
Superdata defends its own approach and declares that their counting method and verification process have been proven to work.
Each of the two companies naturally pursues its own interests with its statements, Therefore, as outsiders, it is very difficult for us to estimate which of the two is actually right or whether an error occurred in the calculation.
Fortnite is weakening at Twitch
The statistics of the number of viewers on Twitch allow conclusions to be drawn about the success of Fortnite. As can be seen from the data on the Sullygnome website, these tend to decrease. The it attracted most viewers in July 2018when more than 200,000 people watched streams from the Battle Royale on average.
In January 2020 it only came up about 72,000 spectators, This value has not been this low since January 2018. Nevertheless, it is still the second most popular game on the streaming platform in the past year. Only League of Legends turned on more users.
