In other news, Frontier's sales figures show they've sold 300,000+ copies of Elite since launch. While that doesn't sound like COD numbers, that's the same number of users Eve took six years to acquire, or one third of the total "Alien: Isolation" sales (1M) across four platforms in four months. Not too shabby.
