shio said: PC is kicking ass. I told you so :) According to the report, PC has 35% of the entire US Gaming Industry, while consoles have 65%, BUT: - Console Revenue INCLUDES Handhelds!! - Console Revenue INCLUDES Used Market Revenue!! Remove those two, and maybe you'll see PC making more money than Wii/PS2/Xbox360 combined. |
Don't get too excited. Just Zynga games on facebook did an estimated $250 million in 2009. Add in all the others and the Popcaps and the like and it's hardly the dawning of a new Golden Age of PC gaming. If you pull the ultracasuals (which I love, don't get me wrong) and then take out Valve and Blizzard a few console ports and a handful of other fairly heavy hitters, you aren't left with a whole lot to spread around to the others. It's not like developers are going to start flocking to PC to make their new exclusive AAA games any time soon.
