175,300,000 dollars total in revenue in one month alone with 2 games.. Hoyo swimming in cash. And I heard Sensor tower estimates are on the lower end so it likely higher.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 609 points610 points  (11 children)

This is just mobile only revenue bro. If Pc, Playstation and third party websites are included the revenue is far higher. Hoyo is rich af.

[–]smoothtv99 227 points228 points  (2 children)

PSN is pretty nutty considering how they touted Genshin as their highest earner, lol. First two years alone Hoyo can fund a small country on Genshin earnings... 

[–]SomebodysMaxiPad 27 points28 points  (0 children)

SMALL country? They’ve gotta be in the top 25 most developed if they were a country

[–]lostn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

they can fund a AAA game a year (GoW, TLOU, HZD), maybe two just off of their 30% cut from Genshin. And Microsoft had the deal first but walked away before sony took it.

[–]SuperLissa_UwU 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah and we have to take into account that pc gives all purchase money to hoyo meanwhile ios and Android take a percentage for themselves

[–]karillith 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Well it doesn't account PS nor PC earnings. And you still have to add merchandising on top of that. We're probably talking about absolutely absurd amounts of money.

[–]Proper_AnybodyHydro Enjoyer 14 points15 points  (2 children)

but I think this is gross revenue, right? not net revenue

[–]BobbyWibowoi like fish 🐟 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's guesstimating by a third-party regardless

[–]SirTonberryy 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I'm pretty sure sensor tower is iOS only lmao. So you have android which is probably around the same, and PC which is larger too

[–]Sekai_Itxmi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sensortower lists both Android and iOS but the numbers are displayed respectively.

[–]jindo90:ganyu::eula::raiden::yae::nahida::dehya::furina: 142 points143 points  (6 children)

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 42 points43 points  (2 children)

Yes you're right. Pc, Playstation and third party websites revenue not included

[–]MaitieS 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I always knew that Global was also huge and everyone who was saying that GL earnings is nothing compared to CN was just a clown :D

[–]XLAGANE8 1025 points1026 points  (69 children)

Boycott successful guys, wrap it up. F2P btw

[–]RugaAG 382 points383 points  (13 children)

Hoyo: "Ah, my anti boycott technique. I haven't used this one since the sumeru era"

[–]E1lySym Geo reactions when? 265 points266 points  (12 children)

The ten genshin players who decided to boycott: Throughout heaven and earth I alone am the boycotting one

[–]El_Baguette 50 points51 points  (5 children)

But would they lose the 50/50?

[–]valardohaerisxWalker 50 points51 points  (4 children)

Nah, I'd win.

[–]PressFM80 19 points20 points  (2 children)

Boy/cott

[–]Hojuma 2 points3 points  (1 child)

On one hand, I hate that I got spoiled in JJK through memes but on the other hand, I'm glad I can appreciate these memes.

[–]kaori_cicak990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be manga reader fan.. but yeah JJK fans is the horrible one when coming to spoiler.

[–]FlameDragoon933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stand proud, you're a gambler.

[–]nightmaresabin 92 points93 points  (2 children)

I boycotted for a whole hour while taking a dump. Proud to have done my part! 🤣

[–]Boring-Patient-1802 67 points68 points  (1 child)

You might want to add some fibre in your diet if it took you an hour to take a dump, just saying

[–]niks071047 7 points8 points  (0 children)

nice thanks for the tip, i might need that

[–]Nhrwhl 197 points198 points  (17 children)

Btw what was the boycott about ? What did they intend to do to get their point accross ?


Did they stop spending money ?

... Oh. They never spent to begin with.


Did they stop creating social engagement about the game then ?

... Neither, they keep talking about it as negatively as usual...?


Oh then, they MUST have stopped playing just to send a message! A big dip in player retention would've shown them.

...No ? They couldn't afford to miss a whole day worth of primo you say...?


Yeah that showed Mihoyo how hard this community is willing to go alright. 🤡

[–]Pan151 84 points85 points  (8 children)

The boycott was mainly about stirring up drama in order for CCs to farm views.

[–]paradyme 57 points58 points  (1 child)

And now their videos are barely getting 50k+ views. You would think after then 3rd or 4th time of viewership declining they would get the hint that this is hurting their brand.

It's like watching someone play Russian Roulette who doesn't understand the outcome.

[–]Pan151 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Still, that's 50k+ views for no real effort. So the boycott was quite successful in that regard :P

[–]XLAGANE8 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Yeah, certain loudmouth CCs probably made a lot of money from stirring that shit up.

[–]Pan151 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not just "certain" ones. Every "gaming news" CC under the sun (most of which have never played this game) got to post at least one video about the drama and get a lot of views for no effort invested.

This has happened a few times before. Genshin drama is basically the Youtube equivalent of a dead whale dropping on the sea floor and triggering a feeding frenzy for the local fauna.

[–]Ara543 29 points30 points  (0 children)

But it worked 3 hundred of dramas ago on first anni!!! 😡

[–]ouyon 62 points63 points  (4 children)

The loudest nay sayers have the worst gambling addictions (which is often times why they hate on the game so much).

[–]Sesshou-Sakura 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nah lol, they're just the kids who never played other gacha games before and haven't spend a single dime.

[–]Luc_128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro in the no one cares. Even if they give 0 rewards and keep crying it won’t matter if the game is good. If game good everyone will play and only the 10% on Twitter and YouTube are crying for boycott

[–]Rinzel- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "boycott" is centered around one particular streamer with thousands of people orbiting around him, said streamer didn't even play the game anymore.

[–]Losttalespring 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea i kinda always figured boycotting was unrealistic.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 85 points86 points  (22 children)

Lmao i wonder what the boycotters will think after seeing this chart.

[–]RaE7Vx 97 points98 points  (5 children)

I've seen people non ironically saying it was a success because of the drop (tiny drop) from January...

[–]johndoe42 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And what would they say if it didn’t drop.

Oh right, Hoyo I forgot the other canard - they’re faking it so people think the game isn’t already dead!

Or how about a take on “this is actually good for bitcoin!”

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Lol imagine seeing this and patting themselves in the back. Also funny thing is this is just mobile revenue imagine pc, ps and third party websites revenue

[–]Existing_Calendar339 49 points50 points  (4 children)

They'll say that HoYo is drawing fake numbers.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 79 points80 points  (2 children)

Hoyo is buying their own banners to fool everyone. Totally not copium overload

[–]blue_jelly_fish 24 points25 points  (1 child)

When Xuanyun did good on her first day, there were indeed a lot of people saying hoyo was pulling for her to boost the numbers TT

[–]Rinzel- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Which is stupid conspiracy, not only it would mean that they're throwing away money (30% of the profit goes to Apple), it would also imply that they'd commit fraud just to spite the playerbase.

The amount of conspiracies these unhinged CCs are cooking is insane.

[–]cuddles_the_destroye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Will? They said it 2 weeks ago lmao

[–]Antares428 24 points25 points  (2 children)

They'd see 10M less on Genshin revenue.

[–]yes-this_is_an-altGo touch Dendro 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Surely Genshin EoS soon /s

[–]vigneshwaralwaarCopium Archon - Lord of Copium 14 points15 points  (0 children)

thats because lack of new waifu

[–]Impossible-Past4795 42 points43 points  (3 children)

It’s weird coz all the boycott stuff are sure coming from broke boys. Lol. I mean I’m f2p and have zero complaints on how this game is ran.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 20 points21 points  (2 children)

I wonder if they would gain some self awareness after all these years

[–]FlameDragoon933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't. Some people just are overdosing in main character syndrome.

[–]JAntaresN 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The boycott is REAAAAL!!!!

[–]spartaman64 13 points14 points  (0 children)

all you f2p players and players that already quit go play and spend money in HSR. that will show mihoyo

[–]Reddy_McRedditfaceVengeance will be mine 375 points376 points  (8 children)

Happy for Genshin and Honkai Star Rail. Chenyu valley is great, while Penacony is absolutely fantastic so far.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yeah I enjoy both

[–]mO_ohittI'm either a or there's no in-between 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yup! I'm an exploration fiend and Genshin v4.4 + Star Rail v2.0 has given me a sensory overload lol

[–]Kingpimpy twitch.tv/pimpdaddyffm 53 points54 points  (4 children)

penacony actually for once let me enjoy the game again after shitty ass space china

[–]pcrackenhead Share in my knowledge 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dan Heng needed some time to himself after being the center of that mess of a Luofu story.

[–]NoNefariousness2144 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For real, two bangers of Genshin/HSR updates combined with Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth kept me very busy in Feb.

[–]OdoneCryo/Bow/Sumeru/Signora/Buff Varka Main 337 points338 points  (16 children)

Cant wait for all the armchair financiers to tell us what this means and doesnt mean and what the multi billion dollar company is doing wrong financially.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 164 points165 points  (12 children)

They probably cooking new conspiracy theories like hoyo bought the banners themselves to fool everyone or fake the data lol

[–]karillith 74 points75 points  (1 child)

I actually read that one on Twitter once lmao.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not surprising at the slightest

[–]Dramatic_endjingu 19 points20 points  (3 children)

They already did.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 26 points27 points  (2 children)

They're probably the new generation of flat earthers

[–]Dramatic_endjingu 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Their source were like 'trust me bro' kinda source and they expect us to believe it lol.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Whats funny is they ask us to trust the nonexistent source and to believe all these are fake and manipulate data lmao

[–]Mylen_Ploa 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Imagine when they learn that what we know from things like Sony leaks and Mihoyo's few reports on financials as a whole that Mobile is actually trending down in all of their games as PC/Console is trending up because of many people switching.

The fact this chart is only mobile and not even comprehensive mobile is insane. I think people did the math at one point from the actual known reported revenue milestones of Genshin that sensor tower data was not even 1/3 of their overall revenue.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They will say Sony is faking the charts then lmao

[–]BC383276 10 points11 points  (1 child)

That’s very common on wuthering waves videos actually. Genshin truly lives rent free in their heads.

Has Hoyo actually released a true sales data? All these are just estimates right?

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes these are just estimates. Sensor tower also calculate revenue on the lower end. I think its just to be safe. Actually the mobile revenue is even more higher. Also this chart only includes mobile revenue pc, Playstation and third party websites not included

[–]huehuehuehuehuuuu 31 points32 points  (1 child)

Once saw a guy get called a HoYo staff after he shared the tale of how he met his wife through Genshin. Peeps be deranged.

[–]Alpha06Omega09 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One dude tried to convince me they are money laundering so...

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I feel like I've been hearing about the game dying for the entire year I've been playing it (well, more like year and a half now).

Meanwhile, I love my Cloud Retainer and Chenyu Valley may be one of my favorite little mini-regions ever released lol.

[–]BC383276 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I heard the game was going to die since 2020.

Me: stares at the billions of USD revenue that Genshin has made.

[–]uwuwhatsthis0_0 silent protagonist enjoyer 134 points135 points  (15 children)

Not surprised seeing Genshin still on top.

[–]Frostivus 26 points27 points  (5 children)

The gulf between Genshin Honkai and the rest are massive.

Nikke dropped off, as did reverse 1999. Some have swapped positions, but all throughout Genshin is always top

[–]NoNefariousness2144 20 points21 points  (1 child)

Genshin is just on another level of gacha. Hell, it’s content output is better than 99% of modern AAA games.

There is simply nothing that can compete with it… even HSR goes for a different approach with more focus on ‘quality over quantity’ and tricky endgame rougelike modes.

[–]elbenji wlw army 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Genshin is a AAA open world live service that also has gacha. It's competitors are assassins creed and GTA. That's why this shits funny

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 87 points88 points  (5 children)

The boycotters surely will be surprised and salty tho

[–]uwuwhatsthis0_0 silent protagonist enjoyer 64 points65 points  (1 child)

That's nothing new tbh. They probably thinking of excuses now.

[–]dontpayjustplay certified Witch of Purple Rose gamer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Off topic: I love your pfp

[–]purplebirdonawire 91 points92 points  (8 children)

wow love and deepspace is doing amazing. i guess it shows how much female fans are willing to pay if the game is done well lmao.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 5 points6 points  (5 children)

What kinda of game is it ?

[–]purplebirdonawire 40 points41 points  (1 child)

i haven't played it myself but from what i have seen it's basically a dating game with combat. it's also a 3D game, so you can control the characters yourself. i might finally download it myself and try it out because all of my friends are obsessed with it.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds interesting

[–]witchlingaria 25 points26 points  (2 children)

It's pretty much Honkai Impact combat, with hot guys and dating. The story's not too bad and there are mini games like a card game and crane game to collect plushies.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Honestly sounds really interesting ngl

[–]insert-keysmash-here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the Love and Deepspace graphics are great, especially for a mobile game. It’s the first mobile game I’ve played with 3D modeling that doesn’t look uncanny as hell. I’m having a fun time playing it.

[–]dyka77 63 points64 points  (9 children)

I'm starting to wonder what this chart will look like once ZZZ comes around.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 40 points41 points  (8 children)

Another one that makes big bucks for hoyo

[–]dyka77 71 points72 points  (6 children)

Lmao can you juat imagine the absolute meltdown if the Top 3 spots is just Hoyoverse. Now I understand why I keep seeing that Hoyo is a dream company for aspiring devs in China.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Its already a meltdown tbh. Won't make much of a difference lol.

[–]skittles0820 22 points23 points  (4 children)

I can see it now, March revenue will most likely decrease due to 4.5 being a dryer patch and then the “boycotters” will claim that their boycott is working

[–]sain_inaban 15 points16 points  (3 children)

Neuvillette & Kazuha in 2nd phase is giving us a different hint.

[–]SillyTea5481 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure how much this will bear out but the talk has been that a lot of people slept on Neuvillete when he first came out, found it how good he was and there was a scramble in China to get him in the least week of his banner where the app (and I can vouch for this much at least) had one of if not the biggest last week of a banner spikes ever.  Genshin Lab severely undercounted his revenue take cause of this and the game was just starting to come out of a bit of a dormant period at the time too with lackluster (for it at least) revenue during the 3.7-4.0 period.

His stocks probably only gone up since 4.2s Archon story and revelations about his true nature so it could be a bit of a Morgan Le Fay in Fate or Raiden Shogun situation where the conditions are ripe for his rerun to do better than his initial banner. We'll see though, unlike a lot of people I dont like to make grandiose predictions I cant completely back up

[–]bongky18 21 points22 points  (6 children)

Ah yes, global content creators once again proved how they are clowns. At this point, I'm just going to stick to bilibili content creators for Genshin related strategies, guides and fanwork. Youtube creators are mostly clowns save for a few who didn't participated in the recent boycott drama.

[–]SillyTea5481 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You mean the people that actual create things and are fans of the game instead of just react to each others videos in a weird content circlejerk and farm hate over the game?  Yeah its another sign of the huge disconnect between regions. I don't think a lot of them ever got it and what the actual appeal of these games are to most of their fans, particularly in Asia.  Like some actually thought they could get the Chinese and Japanese fanbases on board with their weird boycott by talking shit like thats the sort of thing that motivates people from those cultural backgrounds.

Like its one thing to have criticisms of a game, its another to just be derisive and obnoxious and blatant concern troll a community over it for easy low effort engagements over what....2 months is it at this point?

[–]skittles0820 3 points4 points  (1 child)

The only genshin cc’s i follow now are sevyplays and lore enthusiasts like ashikai, i stopped watching pretty much everyone else after seeing their response to the stupid drama

[–]Only-Poet-8225 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Boycott drama? What happened?

Yes i live under a rock

[–]legendadam269Kazuha enjoyer 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Holy sh*t both Genshin and star rail made that munch no wonder hoyo is king of mobile gaming

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is just mobile revenue by the way. Pc, Playstation and 3rd party websites revenue is not included

[–]zZzMudkipzzZ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Unrelated but glad to see Blue Archive thriving.

[–][deleted] 55 points56 points  (1 child)

Chenyu Vale was great, also really liked Lantern Rite quests.

HSR Penacony world was 20/10, and Black Swan although limited to DoT team still looks great, i assume most of HSR's revenue for 2.0 will come from Sparkle in the second half.

Hoyoverse is winning absolutely no fucks given, no matter what.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Acheron is coming too

[–]Vfighter_ 79 points80 points  (9 children)

its genshinover, boycotters won, didn't you see, we lost 10 million USD, how can genshin recover from this

[–]uwuwhatsthis0_0 silent protagonist enjoyer 54 points55 points  (4 children)

It's Hoyover. Genshin EoS next month

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 22 points23 points  (3 children)

The power of boycotters /s

[–]Former495 22 points23 points  (2 children)

And people thought that boycott will have no impact.

But at the very end boycotters have all the impact.

Genshin Impact

It all makes sense now

[–]yes-this_is_an-altGo touch Dendro 100 points101 points  (6 children)

Surely the boycott effect will be reflected in March revenue /s

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 43 points44 points  (3 children)

The boycotters surely showed them who's boss lmao

[–]yes-this_is_an-altGo touch Dendro 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Now we wait for the excuses to come in.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 35 points36 points  (1 child)

Hoyo faked the data, hoyo buyed their own banners to increase revenue. Boycotters headcanons

[–]yes-this_is_an-altGo touch Dendro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Of course they did. It is better to say that the company made up the numbers. Admitting that they're wrong is practically impossible even though they been proven wrong time and time again.

[–]One_Understanding165 Writing letters to each other 70 points71 points  (1 child)

As one CC said "It's not looking good for Genshin 4.4"

The entire community really helped this "boycott"

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

One of the boycotts of all time

[–]Responsible_Club_917 45 points46 points  (2 children)

Is the boycott in the room with us. Though funniest is that even if it was successful, hsr earnings in 2.0 would have just covered the revenue loss and hoyo would have been in same position.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The boycotters are busy cooking new conspiracy theories

[–]lawlianne Flat is Justice. 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Love and Deepspace.. man, what a game and player base.

[–]appu1232 142 points143 points  (35 children)

Genshin getting #1 overall over even HSR's 2.0 patch which had all new content and promotions, Black Swan + DHIL, and even the first day of Sparkle's banner. Meanwhile Genshin's banners were Xianyun (who's banner day 1 wasn't even in January) and some reruns, kinda insane. And that's not even including playstation or PC where Genshin almost assuredly has an even larger lead due to the type of game it is.

It feels like "boycotts" and other attempts at backlash for the game is kinda worthless, especially when it's not centered around the quality of the game but rather the amount of free rewards—something that most players don't care about enough to change their playing habits.

[–]ralphbeneee 42 points43 points  (0 children)

at the end of the day, it’s not really a competition and hoyoverse gets all the win.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 93 points94 points  (13 children)

Genshin has a bigger playerbase than hsr and the impact that it made is far bigger than many think.

[–]appu1232 30 points31 points  (12 children)

Playerbase size can vary drastically and still bring in a huge difference in revenue though. It's not like HSR is not capable of doing better either, especially considering how well it did in mid-2023.

On a sidenote, I feel like the "floor revenue" of gacha games—which is to say the time periods where there is no large promotion or hype patches/banners—tells us a lot more about the game's long-term success prospects than any peaks.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 35 points36 points  (10 children)

I feel like March will have insane revenue for hsr cause sparkle and acheron which is basically raiden of hsr.

[–]MartinZ02 24 points25 points  (1 child)

I feel like March will have insane revenue

I thought for a second there you were talking about March 7th instead of the month lmao

[–]Hajiishere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Two skins too.

[–]Williamangelo 40 points41 points  (2 children)

We did it boys! Genshin is no more! All hail angry bald wife-abuser for this glorious boycott...

[–]Rinzel- 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Sadly the bald streamer got 100-200k viewers per Genshin videos cooking conspiracies for content, the saddest part is his viewers actually ate his garbage.

[–]Williamangelo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let them fester in his echo chamber I say.

[–]KayzeeAMy Queen, Jeht 85 points86 points  (15 children)

Boycotting Genshin is the same as walking into a McDonald's and complaining about their broken ice cream machine and calling for everyone to stand with you for a more perfect service and 5 star quality meals.

They're better off leaving and finding a restaurant that serves to their standards.

Mcdonald's isn't perfect but that doesn't make their burgers any less delicious. Nobody comes to Genshin expecting Rockstar Games levels of quality. They expect Genshin from Genshin because that's exactly why they fell in love with it and Genshin isn't going to change anything.

[–]blippyblipHydro Hydro 22 points23 points  (1 child)

And then promptly leaving McDonalds to go eat at Chipotle while praising the quality of their food.

Which, if you didn't already know, is also owned by the McDonalds company.

[–]brliron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually didn't know that, I learned something today.

But tbf, we don't have many Chipotles here in France.

[–]XLAGANE8 85 points86 points  (3 children)

Except it's more as if the people who eat at McDonalds using only free coupons start boycotting the restaurant. Most of these people are choosing beggars and aren't spending money in the first place

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Lol exactly

[–]DystopiaLite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol I had people telling me “what’s wrong with begging”

[–]Rinzel- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey at least there's no loud F2P in McDonalds complaining that McDonalds not giving enough free food.

[–]MartinZ02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's more like complaining that the burgers are making them fat

[–]Williamangelo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. Also, based Jeht pfp

[–]uhnioin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly Genshin game quality (not the gacha) is pretty up there, especially now that they've been consistently great

[–]frazynText flair 51 points52 points  (1 child)

Most successful boycott 😂

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In history /s

[–]Apekecik2071 84 points85 points  (21 children)

Even after 4.4 shenanigans, Genshin is still #1 baby. "They said CN are angry, losing 3 million followers, boycott" yet the power of family dynamic, hot bird lady & lantern rite triumph the charts.

Since 4.5 is a "dry patch", expect some drops in March, unless some madlads try to C6 standard characters. But if genshin is still #1 is March, I would laugh so hard.

[–]SnooGuavas8376 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They probably still #2 behind HSR who's about to release their Raiden this month. Or FGO a one hit wonder that will release new story chapter then GTFO so at worst GI is #3

[–]kira00r 11 points12 points  (3 children)

I'm mostly refer to whale that attempt to C6 Diluc, C6 Mona or C6 Jean since this is the 1st time players can snipe standard 5 star

[–]kira00r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh you mean the banner, if so, then I think I'm still gonna for beacon and hunters path for weapons on that banner

Now I kinda want to see this to actually happen just because how funny it would be.

[–]blue_jelly_fish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm tempted to spend money, on one hand, to see genshin in 1st place even with a dry patch, on the other, because of the Discovery collab

[–]Javajulien 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Weird thing about the "protest" is the idea that was being pushed that you should just support HSR instead. That will teach Hoyo for sure, instead of giving them money for one game you give them money for a different title!

[–]FlameDragoon933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

illusion of free choice

[–]ManthisSucksbigTime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's just a different tube that just goes straight to hoyoverse either way

[–]yes-this_is_an-altGo touch Dendro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actual braindead logic

[–]SofM2 46 points47 points  (1 child)

But but but but in the last post they swore we would see, in this update, them taking a hit in the revenue because of the boycott :O :O :O :O :O :O :O

[–]ouyon 20 points21 points  (5 children)

And to think just the other day some bozo was trying to tell me Genshin is dying lol

[–]yes-this_is_an-altGo touch Dendro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

According to them, Genshin been dying for 3 years.

[–]SillyTea5481 5 points6 points  (1 child)

They think every patch is supposed to have major updates to the story or a new area and just like weeks of content. For a lot of people this is their first gacha game so they have no idea how absolutely insane the pace of content updates is in comparison to the vast majority of them.  Especially at the level of quality and production value Genshin gets.  Its not perfect but like if they only knew.

Like for example it blew my mind to fins out Blue Archives maintenance periods apparently last 10 hours on average and it often gets extended and Genshin its no more than 5 hours and regularly ends before then.  I'm sitting there thinking like "for what?" and its obviously an efficiency issue yet I never see anyone complaining about that basically.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Show them this chart and also tell them this is just mobile revenue pc and ps not included

[–]ouyon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely keeping this for a repeat cause I know it will happen especially when WuWa comes out

[–]ziiachan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FIRE EMBLEMMMMM

[–]3stoner 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Damn, I'm more surprised at how much HSR made last month, almost at genshin level. Hoyo probably laughing behind the scenes at these "boycotts" and complainers grasping at straws at every opportunity to bash on the game.

[–]Aziimo AoE Pyro Damage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hoyo absolutely swimming in cash as always holy

[–]BambooCatto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That boycott really worked huh.

[–]ObiWorking 16 points17 points  (1 child)

The “boycott” did nothing lmao. Everyone forgot about it when Cloud Retainer was announced

[–]spartaman64 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it advertised HSR and got HSR revenue up

"all you f2p players and people who already quit genshin go play and spend money in HSR that will show mihoyo"

[–]St3phn0 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Quick Jarvis, release Raiden and Nahida banners to recover the losses

[–]Costyn17 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Neuvillette and Kazuha, close enough.

[–]Vequile 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Whales gonna whale you can't stop them no matter what

[–]yurifan33 7 points8 points  (6 children)

if acheron next month cant beat genshin then i dont think hsr will ever beat gi

[–]wineandnoses 13 points14 points  (0 children)

hsr will be higher than genshin for sure, genshin's next patch is a filler one

[–]stanjinhyuk my parents 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I don’t think it ever will though. They did lots of advertising for 2.0 and it barely beat Genshin. You can already see the difference in popularity within a general audience. Genshin has 3x the playerbase size and still continues to get million downloads monthly for it. Occasionally it will beat Genshin’s banners like in March with Acheron’s case while it is Genshin’s filler patch. If it was Arlecchino and Furina together vs Acheron it will be interesting to see. Neuvillette and Kazuha is in April and will be against Aventurine so that’ll be interesting to see too.

[–]yurifan33 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think the fact that hsr even come close to gi at all is already pretty impressive tbh

[–]GraveXNull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to see PGR is doing better and NIKKE dropped HARD.

Looks like it wasn't a good month for a lot those games.

[–]blue_jelly_fish 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Considering we had just an expansion of an old region and 3 of the banners were reruns, this revenue is still impressive. I'm wondering about March since geo characters aren't usually popular but we'll also have Neuvillette and Kazuha...

[–]Ewizde 3 points4 points  (5 children)

March we will probably see a drop(I expect a pretty small one tho)for genshin and a boost for hsr. However when Arlechinno comes out....

[–]blue_jelly_fish 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Same. Actually I didn't do the math earlier and Neuvi and Kazu will actually come in april, right? So there'll definitely be a drop

[–]_Linkiboy_ 7 points8 points  (5 children)

Damn which character doubled hsr revenue?

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Black swan, dhil and one day of sparkle banner

[–]Whilyam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whoever cropped the pictures for the banners on this needs to have a few more tasers to the ballsack... What the fuck am I even looking at for Genshin? Raiden's shouler? ... Kaiba's shoulder?

[–]Fabantonio katana wa wasao sasae, Hilichaaru no oniisan... 5 points6 points  (3 children)

This actually genuinely made me ponder on when things are just unstoppable in terms of their momentum in influence and capital growth

There's always someone out there boycotting something, and very few work. Some do, but others don't. Others may rebound eventually (might just even be a little dip in profits like we see here), while others sink completely. I've always wondered if we're simply at the current peak point where Genshin is completely unstoppable and the only thing that would stop it is if their growth balloons somehow and bursts, causing a crash, because I'd honestly think a unified effort at 'boycotting" across all boards (and not just some dumb plucky resistance that barely tries to resist anything nor convinces anyone), even if successful by some slim margin, would still outweigh the sheer weight of casuals who just do what they want and spend on what they please.

[–]Eudaemon1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Genshin has never diverted from its quality. It has gotten better . The complainant is mainly about freebies and Qol dissatisfaction. Now freebies mostly come from my fellow F2Ps which honestly mean nothing. Unless MHY fucks up pretty bad I don't think it will affect them in terms of momentum/growth

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Genshin has transcended beyond just a game. It backed something like a social media and their daily life to many.

[–]SillyTea5481 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is Hoyoverse is just such a big tent thing at this point.  Like yeah it all generally falls under the banner of anime fans, but the fan culture between regions is wildly different.  Just take the Genshin livestream yesterday for example.  English stream and JP stream vids have about as many views but the JP one has like 400 comments reacting to the video and the English one has like 4,000 most of which is just generic shit talk and trolling

[–]uptodown12 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Damn, hsr gained that much in feb huh.... Oh shit

[–]wineandnoses 13 points14 points  (0 children)

2.0 patch, shit was hype

[–]DystopiaLite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just like the Reddit boycott.

[–]lostn 5 points6 points  (1 child)

i remember a doom posting douchebag on the HSR sub saying Dr Ratio being free is a BAD thing, because it means the game is dying. If it wasn't dying, they wouldn't have given him for free. His definition of dying is that the revenue for that month declined from the previous month, as if that's never happened for any product before. And that was all it takes for something to be "dying". I wonder what he thinks of its death now.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its more like turn based genre gacha has many competitors unlike genshin so hoyo needs to be smart and do things to make players to keep playing the game and at the same time attract new players too.

[–]Reaver027Ayaka 10 points11 points  (2 children)

An expected drop to be honest. First day of Xianyun / Nahida Banner was still in the last month.

[–]Devilmay1233[S] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

1st day gives big sales too
