Yep, it's the future model for games- they'll be sold as services, rather than products.

Yeah, and it is very interesting that the online revenue services(subscriptions, microtransactions, etc) == the amount of game sales.  This goes directly against the much thrown around idea that console gamer get nickel and dimed more.  It appears pc gamers are getting it more judging from these stats.

Console gamers do get nickel and dimed more. The thing is, nearly all those PC games that get revenue from subscriptions or microtransactions are either free, or can only be afforded in such a way (like MMOs). Console gamers pay overpriced stuff, while PC gamers get them for free AND better stuff.

Spin it however you want buddy boy.
