Generally speaking PC market is much smaller than consoles' but what's more important it's not growing while consoles market grew this year 30-40% (but maybe it's due to introduction of new gen consoles?) @shio: You are saying that US PC market is smaller than Germany. Do you have any actual numbers? I personally doubt than US |
The US is the smallest of the major PC markets. The PC market is growing according to Gabe Newell, but it's growing through digital distribution, which isn't tracked. http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7421&Itemid=51
NPD is a very flawed meassure of PC sales. Most PC games aren't sold through stores. Popcap shipped 5 million copies of Bejeweled on online orders alone. How many did NPD see? NONE! That's because they didn't even sell the game in retail stores. The constant ignorance of the PC market is annoying.
