Death to downloading Eroge
0
Most of the population uses file sharing websites. I doubt that just because "a few leaders" decided to try and shut it down, we wouldn't be able to download our precious hentai. Just stand strong and everything will work out.

Anyways, going back to Eroge, does anyone know how much they typically make?
In 2006, sales could reach 60k.

In 2011, the best selling games reached 25k sales.

So, not much, and getting worse. With filesharing taking a hit, I'm very interested in what the sales figures of 2012 will be.
One, the best game 2011 did not sell 25k. That article is completely wrong and the writer admits it as well if you would have bothered to read it. Sales are fine. Two, Sold copies per game is a stupid measurement to compare sales during different years since the number of eroge companies keep increasing meaning that there's more games and more competition.three, It's impossible to say that any hypothetical sale decline is due to filesharing.

1) The sales numbers for REWRITE are wrong, but I WASN'T REFERRING TO THAT. I was referring to the TABLE included.
another source:

The best selling games sold 27,916 for the first half of 2011. 25k is close enough because I didn't feel spelling out the entire exact number.
If the numbers are wrong, then provide the correct ones.
2) Black Jesus asked for how much money an eroge makes. I provided that figure -- simply multiply units sold by its RSP. The "why are the selling less" is largely irrelevant to the question. If you're going to say that the amount of units sold is a stupid way to tell how much money an eroge makes, then, please provide a better method.
3) So, you're saying that piracy does not affect sales? That's why I said it would be "interesting". If sales climb up with filesharing down, then it can be said that piracy affects sales. If not, then no.

1: Same problem applies since they all come from the same source.
It's never been easy finding eroge sales number, and since most sites now block foreign isp it's pretty hard to find anything. But word is that rewrite sold way over 100k copies.
3: It diffidently effects sales. But piracy has a positive effect on sales as well and I'm not to sure what to the overall final effect is. There certainly are projects that has died due to piracy, but there is also projects that were possible cause of piracy. I also don't think filesharing took such a big hit if you are referring to the megaupload thing.

Filesharing in itself did not take a big hit. Johnathan Coultan recently tweeted something along the lines of "Now that MU is gone, the money is just POURING in right", and blogged later about his sarcasm. However the loss of Megaupload is the loss of a very good filesharing service. Its an inconvenience, but it definitely won't stop piracy in its tracks.

I might go to hell with this, but
Megaupload was closed because the music and movie industry was jealous of the buck that Dotcom made.
Ive got a feeling that MU will come back online withing February.
