I took a look today at the SteamDB charts and SteamSpy for AoE2DE and AoE2HD and I'm a bit surprised by the numbers.
The amount of people that bought AoE2HD is between 5 -10 Million since 2013. The amount of people that bought AoE2DE is between 1-2 Million since November 2019 (numbers from https://steamspy.com/search.php?s=age+of+empires ).
According to SteamDB (https://steamdb.info/graph/?compare=221380,813780 ) the active user base of

Beginning of data: 01/05/2019
Top right in white and orange you see the overall (not necessarily unique) amount of players on each platform. The orange line through it is the moving average with a period of 15 for smoothing.
Right under it the reddish graph are DE player numbers (data taken from steamdb.info) with a red mean value line around a value of 16.1k (standard deviation 2967) and a pinkish moving average with a period of 30 to not include the first month hype.
Under it you see in green the HD graph (with data taken from steamdb.info as well) with a bright lime mean value line around with a value of 11.3k (standard deviation 1949). Moving average is with a period of 15 for smoothness.
Last graph is Voobly (data come from https://www.aocrecs.com/ ). It's derived from "the amount of players in 24h that got a recorded game uploaded on voobly". There are some "minor caveats" but that's the most I could find out for now. The small spike down in September 2019 was when Voobly was down for a few hours. The light grey mean value line is on 5.3k (standard deviation 737.1).

Another interesting graph would be to see the HD active users from a longer period of time to be able to compare the launch of that version to the launch of DE.

And also to see the "life cycle" of HD, meaning how does aging really affect the player numbers of this kind of an old game which relies on nostalgia value more than the immediate hype factor.
