World of Warcraft is 12 years olds , has sold a crapton , and has almost no viewers . Yet it has a huge amount of concurrent players . I can tell you a new game that has few players .

I can tell you a game that has sold a lot that has many players . Therefor the variable is useless to make assumptions on player count . I can tell you a game that has few viewers that has few players . I can tell you a game that has few viewers that has many players . Therefor the variable is useless to make assumptions on player count . So yes , I do believe what i said . You cannot make blind assumptions on a games active user base from any of these 3 variables .
