And? Where are we going...? Mine is bigger than yours again:p. We just had a 10 000 000 million users thread:D

I think you're better off showing the charts from SteamDB, which shows the 24 hour peak:

The numbers also oscilate a little, especially when there are special releases (ie. SU11 release for MSFS, the 33% discount on XP 12 on Steam, etc).  The 9056 peak for MSFS is a bit higher since the SU11 release, as it was around 7.5K to 8K for MSFS earlier this year on Steam. We will  see if the 9K holds because it hasn't been that long since the SU11 release, which was the 40th anniversary release, which probably attracted some new users and return users because of the nature of being the 40th anniversary release.

While its good to see these stats...

It just never felt right getting my flight sims on Steam. I purchased both MSFS and XP directly from the DEV.

Would you know how to determine the count for the Marketplace and XBOX? I'm curious about the usage trend and what it says about flight simulation's future in general. If it turns out that it's a very profitable business then I expect competition from other developers is bound to happen eventually.

The FSX number being so high was the biggest surprise for me.

Let’s not start another one of these topics now when we already have another similar long topic on the same thing, which has nearly reached its EOL.
