I actually had no idea for THQ but let me demonstarte why your logic is retarded.

Look at the figures you linked for EA. Look at the PC then look at the Wii then back at the PC. Notice something. By your logic, the Wii is the console that is the most worthless and no one should bother with it. Now if you are trying to tell me that the Wii is less profitable than the PC, the PS3, or the 360, then you are just a damned fool and an idiot, or you are wrong and just hate to admit it.


That is becuase EA has problems to sell their sports titles on the Wii AND some of their "bigger" games can't be done on the Wii. Like a "real" Dead Space, Battlefield, Dragon Age or whatever. That is why the revenue is lower on the Wii.

I know I can do whatever I want, you guys won't change your mind, but if the PC is so profitable, why aren't developers not focusing on it? Don't they know how to run a business? I think they know it better than anyone on VGC. Why do they support consoles more than PC, when the PC is the place to get the money from?

Why don't we ask another developer like Epic? The answer is: The money is on consoles!

But I know this will not prove you wrong. Let me know why Epic does not count either. Thanks.


Wow, I mean, you are REALLY thick. Substitue PC for Wii and a few other words and you have the exact same reason for the PC revenue. I guess that logic only makes sense to you when it's convenient for you.

Anywho, I call your Epic, and raise you BioWare:

"Every two or three years we hear the announcement of fantasy being dead, PC gaming being dead and RPGs being dead. And yet, all of the biggest games that ever come out – that set the records – are nearly always PC games, and a lot of them are fantasy games. The biggest game in the world is a fantasy, PC, RPG MMO."

I also raise you Blizzard and Valve. You can look up their earning reports yourself. Now you tell me who makes more money, Blizzard and Valve, or Epic?


So you mean besides

  • EA
  • Activision
  • UbiSoft
  • THQ
  • Epic

???

Blizzard is a PC only developer. This is like saying Nintendo makes most of the money from consoles / handhelds and not PC games. Same for Sony.

Valve is steam. So yeah.

What about

  • Square Enix
  • Konami
  • Capcom
  • From Software
  • Bungie
  • Rockstar / Take Two
  • Namco Bandai
  • Disney
  • Warner Brothers
  • Level 5

All of them make most of their money on consoles and not the PC. Why don't they count?

Again if the PC market was so highly profitable like you say, developers and publishers would push it big time. They are not and that tells us a lot.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
