And another thing is I played for example elden ring and fallout 4 and Skyrim individually more then 500 hours but I never ever finished any of them. ( I do plan to finish elden ring I just wait for the dlc) You know why because some people have the urge to try out with another class or they have a better idea ect ect... It doesn't mean that the game is too hard for them. It can be a lot of other things.
Another thing I played bg3 ower 3400 hours but I only complited 16 times mybe more but . Some ppl reporting that they did 10 times with less than 1000 hour's.

Some sources have estimated how many copies of BG3 have been sold in about 3-4 months so far. All the numbers center around 15-20+ millions. Though one copy can be played by more than 1 person (two family members don't have to buy two copies and a whole family may only want to buy 2 copies for playing co-op), it is reasonable to assume 1 copy sold => 1 player of BG3 resulted. So, ~20 million player base is a best estimate we can get so far.

1.3 million is only the total number of playthroughs completed. Some may have completed several playthroughs, some may have spent a lot of time without completing even once. However, on average, it is also a best estimate we can get to assume ~1.3 million players have completed the game. Example: you completed 2 times and I completed none - on average, you and I each have completed mathematically once - this is just math - 2 players have completed 2 playthroughs in total. Another example: you completed 10 times and 9 players like me have not completed - on average, 10 players have completed 10 times - again, this is just math - each of the 10 players has completed mathematically once on average.

If you have more data, we can refine our estimates. So far, however, 1.3 million / 20 million = 6.5% completion rate of BG3 is, for lack of more accurate data, the best estimate I have got from known data sources.
