That's... actually really impressive considering the barrier to entry. I wonder how that compares to the number who completed a Legendary campaign?
That's... a lot. Isn't it? That sounds like a lot.

Well, what 4 million people played the beta. So if only each person playing the beta played the retail, that would mean about 10% of people have completed the raid. Since I am sure more people bought the game than 4 million, that % is even lower.
10% is a damn lot, given my initial expectations...

"Even lower"? Less than 10% isn't surprising, I would have been ASTOUNDED if 10% of players had completed the raid by now.

Yeah I was just reading reports that said 10% of players even finish most games campaign according to multiple studies they've done. So the Raid numbers are pretty impressive to me.

The current numbers for PS4 are : 5.4% have finished the raid on normal, and 0.4% have finished it on hard.

Yea, I'm curious as to where that sits compared to other games with hard content? Looks like Dark souls netted about a 25% completion rate, but say, something like "Iron Man Classic" in Xcom has a 2% completion rate (Which is a shame, because that was one of the best gaming experiences of my life). Compared to those, a Raid has maybe less time commitment, but many more hurdles to cross to get into it.
So yea, I guess it's a big fat, I don't know. I will say, that I expected the completion rate to hang closer to 2% given the 6 player/ no matchmaking-ness of it.
Now I want to do a full study of this.
