Analytics: MindsEye approached its release with 300,000 wishlists
Less than 24 hours remain until the release of the action game MindsEye by former GTA producer Leslie Benzies. In light of this, VG Insights' Director of Business Development, Vic Bassey, calculated the game's wishlists.
MindsEye
According to Bassey, by June 10, MindsEye was added to wishlists by 300,000 people. He did not specify whether the wishlists pertain only to Steam or include PlayStation and Xbox as well. Until this year, VG Insights tracked data exclusively in the Valve store, but then began developing console analytics too, so the number may cover all platforms.
It should be noted that MindsEye currently ranks 111th in the list of most wished-for upcoming releases on Steam.
Growth of MindsEye Wishlists
300,000 wishlists is fairly low for a game aspiring to AAA quality. Bassey noted that such projects usually attract millions of gamers. In the analyst's opinion, MindsEye is in for a challenging launch, and the title's success depends on the swift introduction of promised UGC tools, allowing users to create their own content.
