Changed the left right to arrows rather than triangles, hopefully that helps.

Apologies if not allowed but this person appears to be sharing the codes/answers on twitter…

Code One
https://twitter.com/patent_dude/status/1493711820607168523/p…Question One
Question 1: During December 2021, how many hours of games did players play on their PS4 console globally?I don't believe their answer for Question One. It happens to be the same number for active users on PSN.
no its not, the answer i used was way bigger than active users and it was correct, way bigger
How do you know it was correct? You can enter any answer and it will be accepted. I entered 1.
@sween64: well i dont know then, but it said you could only enter one answer, i put my first answer in and it said incorrect, it let me put a second answer in and i made my number bigger, and the second one said correct and that i won an entry
@Qazxswec: Hmmm strange. Did your first answer start with a 1?
@sween64: no, my first answer was 9 billion something
@Qazxswec: Not sure why my answer was accepted then. Weird.
Not letting me edit, but should read the codes/their guesses on twitter
I dont believe their answer either, and its closest to the correct one that wins an entry mechanism. Definitely don't copy the same one or the answer wont be the closest.
Best data I could find is here but that only covers the top 100 games. I've tweeted at the developer of that bot/website.
14 codes over 3 weeks… I guess I'll just wait.
From what I can find, the average gamer played 8 hours, 27 minutes (8.45 hours) per week (though this seems high to me) - https://www.techrepublic.com/article/8-hours-and-27-minutes-…
As noted above, over 111,000,000 users in December (I'll say 111,200,000 as an assumption)
Converting week to month: 8.45/7*31= 37.42 hours/user
Total: 111,200,000*37.42= 4,161,104,000
It'll be a bit less than that since it's asking for PS4 hours specifically, and the 111 million is for overall PSN users.
the average kid with a ps4 would probably play fortnite between 20-30 hours a week, the average stoner would play ps4 at least play 15-20 hours week, i think your estimate is a little light, it would be at least double that
Question 3:
During December 2021, how many hours did players play ‘Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’ globally? (PS5 and PS4)Data here might help.
I ended up with 6,176,884 hours.
Question 2:
During December 2021, how many times did players log into their PS4 console globally?A few more of the codes listed today..
https://twitter.com/patent_dude/status/1494348493263093760?s…Once again don't simply use his guesses, as its the closest to the correct number wins and guesses are all speculative.
Question 4:
During December 2021, how many hours did players play ‘NBA 2K22’ globally? (PS5 and PS4)Data here might help.
My guess: approx 61 million.
Question 5:
During December 2021, how many hours did players play ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ globally? (PS5 and PS4)Data here might help.
My guess: approx 18 million.
Question 6:
During December 2021, how many hours did players play on their PS5 globally?If it helps, PS5 owners had played 4.6 billion hours in their first year: https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2021/11/12/ps5-first-ye…
Divide by 12. Done.
These guys are tracking the codes, questions, and their best guess at the answers as well.
https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2022/02/16/ps5-treat-co…
Codes and answers here:
https://press-start.com.au/news/playstation/2022/02/18/ps5-t…They are their guesses, not necessarily the answers. 3 closest people to each answer win so don't just copy similar entries to others
Looks like Press Start has copied the guesses from the Playstation Lifestyle site above. I'm also a bit suss about their guesses… 15 billion for the first question would work out to be 4 hours per player per day on average based on approximate number of PS4/PSN users.
Yeah. It would be closer to 1 to 2 hours per day per player based on the PS5 numbers above.
Yeah look, that's fair. I didn't read the competition requirements properly.
I'm still happy to take the lazy approach on this one but maybe change up their guesses.
Question 7:
During December 2021, how many hours did players play ‘God of War’ globally? (PS5 and PS4)Question 8:
During December 2021, how many hours did players play ‘Marvel's Spider-Man’ globally? (PS5 and PS4)
