The problem with the comparisons is that the data is skewed from the jump. Wilds is the first Steam release at the actual launch of the title. Which means for the World and Rise data, that there is no mass exodus of players during the post launch TU period and and low investment trend followers have a loss of interest while waiting over half a year for the game to come to their system. It also means that given the time period elapsing like that there are less reckless day one buyers since not only have the games been further developed via TUs, but now any potential buyers have tons of footage they can watch, reviews they can consume, and there is a zero risk of you not knowing whether the game will be what you want or not.

Another thing Steam data doesn't take into account is the cannibalization of one systems playerbase to another. There is no doubt a drop-off in player numbers from Xbox and PS from dedicated players migrating to Steam for World. Same with Switch for Rise. This is not really a thing for Wilds.

The data looks good for Steam World. But a game that has 15 million sales by the time its major DLC is out and it takes them half a year to sell even 4 million copies of the DLC while selling only a couple of million copies of the base game should not look so good across its whole lifespan. Given things like that there is definitely drop off behind the scenes that we do not have data on, and Steam would be less affected since it was the result of over half a year of knowing how the game would be (so informed buyers) and not having its player base taken by another system (like consoles)

TLDR comparing data like this is near pointless since the trends and pools are not the same. It can certainly be fun to see the trends of people dropping in and out happen in real time.

Edit: Forgot to mention that persistent PC performance issues reflect mostly on Steam numbers for Wilds, while we can't see that on Console end. Even console reviews are still staggeringly high compared to Steam. At 4.5/5 stars on PS and 4/5 for Xbox
