PC EA sales + consoles sales would be enough to leave the game away and go on to the "space game", but TW is still trying.
Even with if TW would have said mods will be like Warband, the PC crowd would have bought it day one, as I did. Console players won´t even any have option for the next 10 years because it´s a niche game for "them".
EDIT:
Also for PC, there is no real alternative, if there is any, please tell me which one (singleplayer).
EDIT 2:
For MP there are a lot that are and will be more succesful ever than Bannerlord. Does anyone, at this point, still believe that someone will care about Bannerlord MP when it comes down to Esports?
