I base it on past battlefield releases when we still had bfstats.com and the steam numbers which are the only numbers we have.

Steam alone has approx 20,000 to 30,000 during peak and that doesn't include Origin which people tell me is the preferred way to play EA games.

PC made up about 10% of BF1 online playerbase as posted a few weeks back.

And then of course we are just talking about peak. There's people constantly leaving and joining throughout a 24 hour period.

35,000... no offence but I really don't think you know how any of this works.

While the steam numbers do not represent the overall number of players it is still a very good indicator on how the game is doing. And ever since the release the numbers are declining. This weekend was an exception due to the free to play weekend. But even that did not attract lots of attention. 

So to sum up, the game is bleeding players and it will keep bleeding. I mean there are players and there will always be, but for EA and DICE the numbers are way below expectations. At no point during its life cycle this game could build any momentum. And as we all know, there is only one chance to make a good first impression.

It launched recently and now it is slowly dying already. There might be some peeks after new content launches but on the long run there is nothing to look forward for.
