I would like to know: Are results (stats) of neverwinter for Xbox One good for the company after the first month? I have not read news about players playing, or about the "population" of servers in Neverwinter. Fact is that I think it is a great game, and I can see a large group of my friends (me too) that only play to Neverwinter from when it was launched. We do not manage to play else, so for example in my experiance, NW had a very good approach, but I ask: is the company happy for the results of NW on Xbox One (so that they will continue to support it for long)?
Sorry for my bad english ... I try to do the best.

Personaly i thought the xbox one would bring us closer to the pc gamer experience, i must say imgreatly disappointed so far on all xbox one games.
Witcher three may save the console imo
" but they're going to tell you that no matter what. As far as I know, not many companies ever report their actual numbers, maybe WoW? If anything I see numbers from players in an attempt to guess how a game is doing and a lot of times those are based on things like steam numbers, for example.
I agree this post quite well.
ESO and Evolve issued huge flowcharts after release with loads of datamined info like number of active accounts, average characters per account, total number of max level players, average number of players online, most popular class, etc. It really helped give a feel for how the game was doing after release, but in both cases they overhyped everything and the number of active subs/players plummeted.
Either way, some companies do it. I imagine PW won't because they're not doing so hot in the popularity contest. Mod 6 on PC was a total fail and everyone on Xbox has something to gripe about.

Why was mod 6 a fail?
In fact I expected a sort of image reporting data, the same way it happened for Evolve or other games.
It is true that the games does not seem to be so popular, in fact web magazines and others (I speak for Italy) never mention Neverwinter. Fact is, however, that the game at the moment is the most played by far from my circle of friends.
Not all developers release such info. The reason why most outlets aren't discussing Neverwinter is that most have already discussed it. Xbox is a port and this game has been out since 2013. It's not old in MMO terms and there is still plenty of content being added, but most coverage is on the PC side of things since they are and will always be getting the newest content far before we do.
His/her stats come from his/her own personal biased opinion on the game, because, "If I'm unhappy, everyone else is unhappy". This is following too closely to the "XYZ Game will kill ABC Game" stereotype.
As you said, Neverwinter has it's quirks, it's problems, bugs, glitches, etc. but that doesn't mean it's dead nor do I foresee it dying, even with other games around the corner. It will always be hard to keep a console gamer's attention on one game for long, but that doesn't mean it's the company's or games fault. Console just has a lot more variety and choices, which means more opportunities to prevent that monotonous feel. While PC does have variety, they don't have anywhere near the library console does and "most" PC gamers are content with sticking with one game for longer periods of time.
Where do you find this stat?

That said, I still prefer console gaming
You're spot on here though
Most Played/Most Popular is a filter in the store on XB1 as well.
