PC the most profitable platform? Last I saw, PC gaming clocked in at 5% of a $20 billion industry in the US. If you have other numbers, I'd like to see them.


Are you talking about NPD? Are you counting also the hardware revenue? We are talking about software only.

On NPD, PC has 10% of retail revenue, but 14% of software volume. However that doesn't account for DD sales and PC casual games, which when added the estimation makes the PC have an estimated 30% of the entire North-american sofware market. And that's for the US, because in Europe and Asia the PC share is even bigger.
