OS market share issue
Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2020 3:22 pm
Save file attached, all 4 DLCs on, no mod, game version 6.5.15
Based on the OS market share pie chart in "Product Details" section, my OS sales spiked immediately after release, then dropped to zero a few months later one of the 6 cities (Beijing). e-commerce sales also fell to zero. Understand that software sales are impacted by release cycle, but don't expect it to halt completely between two releases. The sales pattern in other cities are more reasonable (e.g. Toronto).
Also, the sale number displayed in the pie chart for Beijing is not consistent with that in the "Software" report. For the most recent month, the pie chart shows zero copy sold, while the monthly quantity sold in software report is over 30k.
A separate questions is regarding the stickiness of the OS users. The OS I developed outsold AI one around 4 to 1 for the past couple of years. However, AI OS is actually gaining market share during the period. My user base is almost twice as large 2 years ago, but only 50% larger now. The quality of my OS is way better (100 vs. 36) and has better overall rating in general. Brand loyalty is negative for AI OS.
