units sold (P2664) should not include F2P title downloads[edit]

Hello @Kirilloparma,

The units sold (P2664) value you added (1.66 billion) includes both sales and F2P title downloads, so I don't think this data is accurate for this property. Floyd-out (talk) 10:19, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It's a pity that we don't have a separate property for the number of downloads of a certain item, but we can still denote sales together with downloads like this: including (P1012) >> download (Q7126717), not perfect, but still. The sources provide exactly the sales number + downloads number and no information only about sales figures or only about downloads, so the fact that the data is not accurate in the statement is not entirely true, it was simply not stated before that downloads are also taken into account, now this has been corrected.

I agree with you, we should have a "number of downloads" separate property, and maybe a "total number of players / users" that would be relevant for free-to-play apps or games included in subscription services like Game Pass. I still think the units sold (P2664) property should be limited to paid (both physical and downloads) figures. Regards Floyd-out (talk) 13:24, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As it turns out, the number of downloads was already proposed back in 2020, but the property was not created due to stale discussion, I think we can safely re-propose it again. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 05:10, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
