56

u/Illustrious_Body9263 6h ago

Gonna skyrocket to top 3 again when Sunbringer releases and then drop back to normality patch after

u/batiwa 6h ago

Truly a classic

u/Illustrious_Body9263 6h ago

Also funny how people in fandom love to bring this graph whenever it suita their agenda "Yidhari is fanservice af bring in the graph" "S billy is male bring in the graph" and etc Like cant we just play the game and not use this shit every time

u/Existing-Extreme9240 5h ago

you are in the wrong sub reddit.

u/Zach-Playz_25 6h ago

My guy, the agenda needs to live on, no matter the cost.

/s

Yeah I get u, I don't play zzz, but too much of those things will get tiring. Unfortunately I'm hardly to speak because I'm guilty of participating in that kind of stuff lol.

Wait hold on, Astra was lower than Evelyn? The uber meta support that brought up every single team at the time? That Astra?

3

u/lordsfavor10 4h ago

HSR already announced Astra as collab character, so you can expect Robin for ZZZ

So I do expect she going to perform well, tho sure it depends whether she's meta or not

Ask 100 ZZZ players do they like Cissia or not

. . .

Then ask them do they pull Cissia or not

Erin Yvette's unbelievably good line reads do not determine whether you're scoring 30k pts, no.

u/Pitiful-Assignment-8 5h ago

It's already clear that this is a marketing strategy

  1. Release a mainpush aimed at the widest possible audience = collect a bunch of money with a margin
  2. Release BiS for the mainpush, aimed at the casual audience = collect less money
  3. Release other characters for a specific target group, the same Yuri lovers, of whom there obviously aren't many = collect even less money.

But in the end the game, for example, surpasses Wuwa in total revenue, yet in the agenda the game is constantly in EOS 😂

u/ElectricalStruggle 6h ago

I want to see Phoenix vs Claret. To see if all that Yuri marketing actually affected Claret sales or not

16

u/OkRuin1905 5h ago

Claret peaked below Jingran from WuWa in China, and her shipbait banner is one of the worst I've ever seen from a big gacha. From what I recall, even Banyue somehow crawled to 96th place.

•

u/Symbolite 2h ago

Just remember, numbers are a little skewed. She definitely did better than this, by how much? idk. Probably not a ton better but anyone who spent money for Claret and/or Roxy likely did it last patch during the spending event. People spending now are just whales and the few people who just didn't know any better. Same thing happened with the 2.6 patch.

•

u/Katicflis1 1h ago edited 38m ago

Claret peaked 41.

Considering dialyn peaked 36 last year as a broken support, claret did fine by ZZZ standards. Even velina got in the 30s with a void hunter first rerun and a brand new element. 30s/low 40s just looks like ZZZs norm.

That said, bro wasnt wrong about wuwa Jingran outperforming her. Jingran hit like 36. But wuwa has had a stronger month to month compared to zzz for a long time. Zzz only gets ahead with void hunters.

u/novostranger 6h ago

Yuri is definitely doing harm imo

•

u/Surely_Calvardian 1h ago

Sure, it's the yuri and not that Roxy is not meta

•

u/lookupthesky 3h ago

Does ship bait not work in zzz? kinda surprising since yuri/yaoi bait works well in hoyo's other games 

•

u/luciluci5562 3m ago

kinda surprising since yuri/yaoi bait works well in hoyo's other games 

ZZZ catered more to ML/gooner community, which hates the existence of yaoi/yuri content. Also both Genshin and HSR's character designs are on the tamer side compared to ZZZ.

•

u/Belophen ZZZ, CZN, AKE 2h ago

it's weird, because we don't know since the last time a ship was pushed to death was also one of the most broken units in the game and the ship came to the cost of the story quality too so we don't know what pushed the salesthe most.

u/HiroHayami 10 years into the shithole 5h ago

Deliberately ignoring that Phoenix is the final piece of the strongest team in the game right now, which also includes one of the characters with the higher ownership rates, while also making this team 15% better than the next best thing.

Not to mention Phoenix is a very popular right now due to meme potential and good first impression. When we first met Claret we didn't now about the yuri and she still wasn't popular (in fact, she was being trashed by the ugly model).

Even if you take away the yuri, Claret wouldn't win.

u/TheSpirit2k 4h ago

Sadly Phoenix straight up deletes Burnice’s use in any scenario so I’m not that hyped.

7

u/RipBitter4701 5h ago edited 3h ago

Nah if you take the yuri she wouldn't be the worse than jingran at the very least.

genuinely, she got perfect VA for tsundere character and almost everyone would thought it would be lesser ml bait type (unlike remielle) but damn, the whole yuribait just make people hold their wallet.

even Norma sell better and she stuck between velina and remielle

-1

u/ElectricalStruggle 4h ago

What you citing as a pro may be a con for people. Remi +Veli team don't really need Phoenix if you have Aria/Prom or M2 Jane.

On top the high chance of them drip marketing SB being the same attribute as Phoenix

u/Natural_Ad1530 6h ago

Can't blame people for not playing the game on mobile, seems very tedious.

15

u/fiersome08 6h ago edited 6h ago

So, everyone played on mobile when VH was released, then went back to console and PC once it was over? sounds weird

-3

u/IamBurden 5h ago

People couldn't wait to pull? I only have ZZZ on my phone for pulling but I pretty much exclusively play on PC

10

u/TraditionalKnee7810 6h ago

Well considering the steam rank seems no one is playing on pc either

27

u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 ZZZ, NTE 6h ago

Well they’ve had a dedicated pc launcher since launch. I play on pc and I love Steam but why would I migrate to Steam when the game is perfectly fine using the hoyo launcher as is.

-11

u/Existing-Extreme9240 5h ago

Wuwa is doing fine on Steam. That Logic is invalid

13

u/fat_mothra I will the Labubu 5h ago

ZZZ released on Steam in 3.0 iirc, we're in 3.2

Wasn't WUWA's Steam release somewhere in early 2.X? and they're in 3.7 iirc

That's a lot more time for them to pick up new players who find the game through Steam

2

u/IamBurden 5h ago

Was the Steam Version also released with the Wuwa collab? Or did I misremember?

Regardless, that should have brought in quite a few players too

6

u/deepestcut 4h ago

10+ years of steam user here. I still won't move ZZZ to Steam because I'm still playing other hoyo games. no reason to move if other 3 games in the same launcher.

if I want reinstall wuwa back, definitely would be on steam because, no point for me to use official launcher

5

u/Kitchen-Resource-676 4h ago

Wuwa on Steam comes without launcher (that's going to change soon) and without other issues (like being unable to delete completed content), unlike ZZZ.

18

u/Pitiful-Assignment-8 5h ago

People play through the internal launcher, and there are several good reasons for this:

  1. In the Steam version you can't delete resources of completed content (while in the hoyo launcher you can)
  2. Unlike competitors, the Hoyo launcher contains 4 games, and if a user plays at least 2 of them = there's no point in reinstalling for just ZZZ in Steam, it's easier to just use a separate launcher. That's exactly why most players don't really have a reason to move to Steam, and the statistics themselves aren't indicative.

The only ones who really benefited from the game being added are Steam Deck users.

23

u/workisxpwaste 6h ago

Because steam is the only pc platform you can play ZZZ on, right? Swear some of y’all just say shit

-4

u/TraditionalKnee7810 6h ago

low on mobile low on steam low on ps5

But have we taken into account the samsung fridge players?

14

u/IamBurden 6h ago

Do people really just switch their launchers? Is there any benefit to doing so?

•

u/workisxpwaste 3h ago

Not really, unless you care about tracking your hours. The person you replied to is probably low IQ ragebait, since they're intentionally excluding the HoyoPlay launcher players. I'm just not going to engage anymore.

u/Scared_Base_3094 6h ago

You have no information on Playstation revenue, this is how you know you speaking out your ass

•

u/Shinio69 3h ago

Low on ps5. If number one constantly is low then what the fuck you consider high?

u/Existing-Extreme9240 5h ago

drop the receipts.

u/Kitchen-Resource-676 4h ago

Wanna talk about PlayStation ratings?

u/happymudkipz 6h ago

ZZZ runs better than genshin on mobile in my experience

-6

u/Existing-Extreme9240 5h ago

Yeah maybe Hoyo needs to learn from Kuro by improving ZZZ on mobile. If they do revenue will go up.

6

u/Kitchen-Resource-676 4h ago

The only thing Kuro actually did was just remove that Java cringe from their code. Are you sure ZZZ devs have a similar issue in their game that is just as easily fixed?

u/kuraokami89 5h ago

Learn how to glaze the paid pet ?

u/anondum 7h ago

I can't believe they bet on long term interest in extraction shooters.

dunce caps for them and bungie

4

u/balbasin09 6h ago

Even Arc Raiders is losing players. I’m guessing the genre is fundamentally niche and everyone is forcing it to be the next Battle Royal genre that is mega popular.

•

u/ArtofKuma 1h ago

Its definitely going to get worse actually, Roxy is a side upgrade

•

u/Orange_Seltzer 3h ago

Found the one zzz post. Rip Claret. Roxy is going to be even worse. I think Claret is awesome. Sigrid game play is more enjoyable, but she was a solid pick up. Too bad she was after Remielle and before Sunbringer.

-3

u/TheSpirit2k 4h ago

Where are the Yuri slop enjoyers at? As usual being loud af doesn’t translate into numbers

•

u/Surely_Calvardian 1h ago

The loudest ones were the people who took the yuri as a personal attack. You don’t even need Roxy if you have Norna, and Claret is the 8th electric DPS. How do they expect them to sell as well as the previous patch?

-2

u/Kitchen-Resource-676 4h ago

Same as Husbando enjoyers. They are only willing to pay if it's absolutely broken meta character or some parasocial nonsense like LaDS

•

u/ps3ds 2h ago

Lol they could have made claret glaze mc dick all day long she still would have tanked cuz shes not a vh or bis for a vh. are you gonna keep that energy when the next designated flop is a big titty wife or loli?
