Verifikation
PLAUSIBLE. Roblox's 10.3B monthly hours are SEC-verified. Competitors: Steam ~2.1B/month (independent data, though Ball estimates ~5B), PlayStation ~4.3B/month, Fortnite ~1B/month. Using independent data: combined competitors ~7.4B/month — Roblox clearly exceeds this by ~40%. Using Ball's higher Steam estimate (~5B): combined ~10.3B — roughly equal. The claim is directionally correct; the "equals" precision depends on Ball's methodology for estimating competitor engagement, which is not transparent.
