Thing is, this takes in account: Professional Rigs, Enthusiast Rigs, and other applications that require a beefy system. Steam has like 70 million members and only 7 million have rigs better than the PS4, or on par. No way in hell that the 21 billion is going to "PC Gaming" and no, it isn't counting, "enthusiast hardware", since that's pretty much 770 level and above for gpus and other expensive parts, the PS4's specs aren't even "enthusiast" class, so that'd be like saying the 7 million people with better rigs than a PS4 spent on average $3,000 on their rigs, which is inaccurate. Using this very logic someone can simply come to the conclusion that PC Gaming hardware is much more expensive than Consoles, especially for enthusiasts, and then hundreds of thousands of "enthusiasts" parts are bought by huge studios and rendering farms, so yeah, in hindsight, not very impressive. |
Psst, nice downplay, but Nvidia Tesla / Quadro / Grid, and AMD Firepro cards, that are actually used by huge studios and rendering farms, are NOT gaming hardware.
So i guess you'll have to try and explain it another way.

I can tell by your approach that you're trying to start an argument, as I never mentioned the GPU's used by professional studios, but I'm pretty sure the CPU's, SSD's, RAM, and etc all qualify, and even on non-rendering related jobs you need a great GPU, and other parts. I own a gaming PC, I have nothing against them, you need to calm down with your aggressive posting style.

Oversensitive much?
Besides, you're still barking up the wrong tree, most render servers use SCSI in large raid arrays, server specific ECC registered ram and server CPU's they do not use general DDR ram, desktop CPU's and most of all they do not use desktop SSD's either, if they use solid state tech at all, of the servers i've dealt with the small number that used anything other than raid arrays used ioDrive octals, and at prices STARTING at 100,000 usd, you can bet your bottom dollar no gamers are ever going to be using them.
Since the analyst clearly states 'pc GAMING market' then cuts down the share based on three levels of gaming pc, we can rule out server ram, cpus and scsi raid arrays entirely.
