How many of you play a console MMO? One game that seems to be doing fairly well on consoles is DC Universe Online suprassing 18 million registered players. The real reason behind DCUO’s phenomenal growth is thanks to the reception it’s been getting on the PlayStation 3 and 4, as over three-fourths of the game’s playerbase is on consoles.
SOE President John Smedley said that 40% of new registered users are on the PlayStation 4 these days, and they have created almost 3M superheroes to date. Smedley said that PlayStation sales per capita accounted for 3.5 times more than PC sales.
Its interesting though console players are willing to spend more on this free-to-play title than their PC counterparts. Do you think it’s because PC players are used to the micro-transaction scheme among other MMOs and are more cautious where they spend their dollar?
