| Final-Fan said: Do you even listen to yourself anymore? The report you're sourcing expects the online console market to QUADRUPLE, and this means consoles are dying? And if the online PC market is $20 billion, of a global market of $70 billion, where is the other $50 billion? Hmm.... |
Do you not know how to read an article?! It says that the ONLINE console market can quadruple, which is a but a tiny fraction of PC's HUGE online Revenue.
Read the article and what I wrote, because you missed some things:
In 2009, the entire games market was $41 Billion, out of them only $23 Billion was for Consoles+Handhelds (so domestic consoles were probably less than $20 billion in 2009) and PC alone was $13.1 Billion.
2009 according to Famitsu, PCGA crossover:
<$20 Billions on Consoles
$13.1 Billions on PC
What the article is saying is that DFC estimates that Console Games Revenue in 2015 will be even lower than in 2009. As the games are moving online, the retail will take a huge hit, just like what happened to PC. You gotta listen to the experts more, like Gabe Newell and Hideo Kojima.
