HSR only hitting 7 digits....

Genshin definitely has the higher floor when even fuckass Mizuki still got them in the 20+ millionsđŸ˜­

That comparison is a bit debatable. Mizuki was still a new character.

In HSR right now we've got no new characters for 5ish weeks in a game where reruns have lower value. It's also right before 4.0, and if anyone is going to spend money it's going to be during 4.0 and not during this content drought.

you can compare it to 6.1 second half banner zhongli 7th banner and Arlecchino 3rd and still doing like 21M so 4 banners doing this bad is to be considered

but rerun do sell horribly in like all gachas i played except genshin

Beside Genshin, the only exception i can think of is FGO

Makes since Fgo doesn't really have a meta and most post year 4 units tend to remain as good as at their release if not become better due to buffs

Make sense i guess. Genshin somewhat still attract new player that go like "omg this character is so cute/handsome". Even if those characters are outdated, you can still adventure around Teyvat with no problem (which is I argue the majority of gameplay)

Just wait for the Zhongli buffs and his new BiS weapon (surely MHY will give him one right...? Venti of all characters has 3 signature weapons).

the moment when vortex vanquisher is the BiS for Dan heng PT instead of zhogndong hismelf

Left-overs from when MHY wanted Zhongli tk scale with ATK. They should release a new weapon honestly. Like Zhongli's BiS is either Fav Lance or White Tassel.

Remember that we're literally getting a new version next month so your comparison is a bit off. The periods before/after new versions are usually the points when people join/leave and are often points where people save.

And you know HSR doesn't really reward people for investing heavily in reruns. The Genshin vs HSR floor comparisons don't really work here because the differing levels of power creep, and the heavier focus on doing endgame have made the games different beasts.

august revenue of mostly chasca and mualani did 26M and that was the last banner of 5.8 so its the period where people did save is that a good comparison point

u/AlterWanabee Feb 01 '26

Hell, the 4.8 banner for Genshin where we got Emilie did 38M. Like yeah one can argue it's because of Yelan, and that Phase 2 occured in August as well, but even if you halve it, Phase 1 did 19M, and that's before Natlan.

Don't trouble urself, they just want to prove their delusional point no matter how

u/nicoleeemusic98 Feb 01 '26

The saddest part is they aren't wrong, but the real issue is that it's hsr's own doing making their reruns this undesireable from easily bricking prior meta (break) to favouritism (Castorice and Phainon compared to the other 3.x dpses especially Herta)

Tldr it's hsr's fault anyway so might as well continue the comparisons
