In 2007, that amounted to around $8.6 billion, stripping out the PC revenue reported by NPD at 9.5% of retail sales. So let's really over compensate, and say $25 billion worldwide. That was mainly split between 4 consoles (including the PS2) and a couple of handhelds. The PC generated $10.7 billion in the same year according to the report. Maybe the Wii accounted for over 40% of the console revenue and took more, but there's no way the PC is in last place. |
If you're going to try that method, don't take the total and divide by 4, that's just silly. You give a pretty exact amount for the PC to compare a very general for the other four, one of those not being a huge factor, and that just isn't right.
If you want to try and compare that, find the totals for each indivual console.
