So how can you think P3D (one of the both main used sims before MSFS) had only…15’000 users? Don’t you notice something?

Because it was going downhill pretty fast. I'm one of the users that moved from v3 to XP11. It's not a surprise it had those numbers back then. Today P3D is basically dead (domestic market), so it was very fast.

And they said multiple times before that the 737 for MSFS outsold their P3D/FSX versions by orders of magnitude.

« Order of magnitude? » Coming from PMDG? Same source who said MSFS’ market was 1000x bigger that P3D? 🤣

And what about the numbers? I am not we can use a word like « magnitude » in statistics.

It was 1000x, it's now a lot more. 😎

I was talking about the sales of the PMDG777 during the primetime of P3D compared to the ones for MSFS. Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.

Ask Randazzo, but I can asure you he's very happy with MSFS.

Oh but the context can be put together rather well, even now.. The comparison is well known by, the best source, PMDG themselves 🙂 RSR said yesterday that their 777 for MSFS outsold their 737 for MSFS by over seven times comparing first day sales. And they said multiple times before that the 737 for MSFS has outsold their P3D/FSX versions by orders of magnitude.
 

Arn't there way more MSFS users now?

If so I'll reiterate a previous query - will the devs of other sims now jump onto the ship that is actually sailing?

Awww if you're bent on not believing PMDG that's your prerogative obviously. When it comes to discussing and pontificating on how PMDG's products are doing sales and numbers wise for the various sims it has developed for the over the years, I'm going to go by the PMDG CEO's words, rather than internet randoms who don't seem to like what PMDG is saying 🤷‍♂️ And we can only go by whatever details PMDG are willing to share can't we?

What about the numbers? Well go ask RSR, only he can share those 🙂 If this has to a statistics based dissertation for you to believe what PMDG is saying, then ya you're gonna have to get the raw numbers from them I'm afraid. But even then they could be lying right, so you might as well demand actual evidence of all the sales 🤣

I don’t get what PMDG’s sales for P3D vs MSFS has anything to do with XP? I remember having purchased the PMDG777 for P3Dv3 and it was a huge success (Randazzo wasn’t sad if that’s what you think). The only thing I was asking is if we had some kind of comparisons beetween both? So based on your reaction I will interpret it with: « no we don’t ». That was all I was asking.

I'm just saying X-plane is the next in line. 🦈

And ask Randazzo, he's is the one with the accurate metrics.

And, also, not just Randazzo's words, we just had a half an hour presentation about the Marketplace. The numbers are impressive. It's not just PMDG.

We were speaking about the number of sales for P3D vs MSFS. This 1000x bigger market mentionned by PMDG must very likely be related to nowadays market and not on the one during the whole lifetime of P3D. So someone mentionned this source out of context.
