Please... get your facts right. Its not as simple as you make it sound. Developers.... the people making the games we play..... will tell you any and everyday that they make more money from the console dales of their game. And this is assuming that somehow you choose to ignore that every mutiplat game sells more on consoles than they do on PC. And as far as "revenue" goes.... you do realize that the sale of a single GPU even at $2000 is counted in its entirety towards "revenue" right? What good is that for a developer? His point is entirely accurate. Consoles are a developers biggest market. Don't believe that, just look at any NPD top ten software sales. |
The stat is true even when not taking into account hardware revenue. PC gaming makes a lot of money although a large proportion of that revenue is from alternative business models rather than solely the initial sales or even follow up DLC.
Also, NPD aren't particularly reliable when it comes to tracking the revenue of these alternative business models and aren't even that great for tracking digital sales which make up most of PC sales considering they don't get data from the likes of Valve or many of the other digital download providers. NPD is only a very small piece of the picture.
