Reddit user Gamstat revealed the simple math involved to get the estimates and the difficulty in finding an accurate number.

Gamstat pointed out that My PS4 Life videos – which show personalized highlights for users of their in-game trophies – discloses the exact number of players who receive said trophy.

Video games get delayed all the time. It’s probably never worth fretting too much about because there are always plenty of great games to play. We live in a golden age, truly.
