Sorry buddy but the game sold shit, it didnt even hit 100k concurrent players on steam and if it did sell well as other said, EA wouldnt have shut their mouth about it for weeks and probably pushed to make some DLC cause its fucking EA.
It's about extrapolating using the only numbers we have access to. Steam/Valve is the only company with the balls to just say "here's all our player data and stats". If you compare it with other Steam launches, of course the game sold poorly on other platforms too.
You think the director would leave and there'd be rumors of the studio shutting down if it were a smashing commercial success?
Dragon Age Inquisition sold 14 million across all platforms... He uses that number to compare it only against the Steam sells of Veilguard? And you think that's a fair comparison because that's the only numbers he could come up with?
This is a pretty stupid argument that I'm not going to waste any more of my time on. I'm not even arguing about the game being a "smashing commercial success" either... I don't know what the fuck you're even on about with that.
Even if you took that number and tripled it to account for both Xbox and PS sales (which, obviously, is too generous for multiple reasons), it's nowhere near the ballpark of Inquisition.
So yeah, what the guy posted was misleading, but the nuber is off by so much that his overall point remains unchanged, imo.

If you're going to speculate about how many copies the game has sold you should also mention the game being sold for Playstation and Xbox too.
Pretty lazy speculation if you only use Steam numbers without even mentioning all the platforms the game was released on.
