Fun fact: Fortnite gets nearly half its revenue from Playstation

Surprising. I thought it would have been PC/Mobile

Court documents reveal that PlayStation 4 generated 46.8 percent of Fortnite’s total revenues from March 2018 through July 2020, while Xbox One, the second-highest platform, generated 27.5 percent. iOS ranked fifth, with just 7 percent of total revenue. The remaining 18.7 percent would have been split between Android, Nintendo Switch, and PCs.

The things you find out when legal cases pop up. iOS was a small slice of the pie, which makes me wonder why all the drama in the first place?

I am ashamed for my fellow cows. Disgusting bunch tbh.

LOL! I'm kind of taken aback by the whole thing

Cows come on now you are better than this!!!

I find it funny how mobile users are too cheap to spend more than a couple of bucks on a game, but then spend billions and billions on microtransactions.

Seems like the world upside down.

Yeah, felt like it. I have certainly felt that PC gamers have already moved away from Fortnite to other games. Always felt like something of a fad.

Wait is fortnite still blocked on iOS though I thought Apple shut down fortnite downloads on ioS cause of the court case maybe thats why its making less money or did they put it back up I forgot?

the new metric

Another feather in Sony's cap. Not only do they sell the most software but they are also the most popular platform to play free to play games on.

Some Xbox shill was rambling on about Microsoft having 140 million active monthly players. Microsoft hasn't even sold 140 million total Xbox consoles if you add up every console generation. These lemmings are taking a lot of heavy blows lately.

Actually surprised Xbox is 2nd best considering for the longest time xbox gatekeep free to play game behind a paywall.

They certainly will. I think MS wanted to keep the paywall initially to keep Live subs up.

This shouldn't be celebrated. This should be shamed upon.

Well we knew Cows weren’t playing exclusives. Apparently they’re all playing Fortnite.

Xbox is second even with the paywall. 🤭

Fun fact: PS is crowned the kiddies & dudebro console of choice, all the things cows used to try and put shit on lems for LOL.

I just realized, cows are the reason Epic has the money to buy exclusives. Damn it.

that makes a lot of sense, since a lot of the xbox players are poor and only could afford Game pass😰

You didn't think that one through. 😂

Xbox is apparently in 2nd place and that was with the paywall to play f2p games...

Not exactly what I'd call a "fun" fact.

Who CARES!

What a colossal failure of a post...

But, but, but the kids love their laptops!

Proportionally Xbox gamers spend more than Sony gamers on Fortnite... and as @Pedro said, with the paywall.

...what?

Part 2 of "Not thinking before posting".😂

Golly, that is a fun fact.

It's because the PlayStation has absolutely no online competitive games, or hardly has decent online games in general.

Too many 3rd person, action, single player, one-and-done titles in my opinion.

Can you give example of what good online competitive game? Curious.

This is one of the prove that msot console user is bunch of kiddies

lol. PS gamers..

Dude bros confirmed. lol :P

The mental gymnastics here is exhausting.

PlayStation easily has over 2:1 lead on console install base over Xbox, yet PlayStation generates less than 2:1 on revenues over Xbox. Sorry that broke your brain. Maybe next time I'll try explaining things with hand puppets.

This is the reason why PUBG has higher revenues and also profits while not even a F2P on PC.

It's really surprising that the PC market share is so low.

Most hardware sales = most software sales of a free to play mainstream megahit game.

And I bet Sony counted all the Fortnite, Warzone, Rocket League, etc free downloads as software sales. PS2 still wins in my book.

I can assure you Sony did not count free downloads as software sales. You're being paranoid.

@BenjaminBanklin: Well, that makes sense. The PS4 spanked the Xbox one pretty hard last gen; I'd think multiplats would get more revenue on that platform.
