Sensor Tower's Karl Kontus attributes this to the small price gap relative to the extra content and the game's unprecedented hype, though he expects the share to normalize closer to 50/50 by launch as more casual buyers come in. The piece also covers preorder volume estimates, with current preorders at 4.3 million and projections ranging up to 25-40 million by launch. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
