NEW RESEARCH SHOWS PC LEADING THIS YEAR’S DIGITAL GAMES SALES BY 42%, WILL REMAIN UNTIL 2018

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/new-research-shows-pc-leading-this-years-digital-games-sales-by-42-will-remain-until-2018/

Juniper Research has contacted a new research, according to which the digital games industry will generate software revenues of just over $80 billion this year, rising to $104 billion by the end of 2018. The majority of this growth will stem from the contributions made by the PC market, with this industry alone accounting for 42% of games revenues this year.

According to the press release we got, mobile platforms will account for ever increasing contributions, with a market share approaching 35% by 2020. Meanwhile, driven by consumer uptake and software purchases from the latest generation of games consoles, software revenue generated by this segment will reach $27 billion by 2018, up from an estimated $21 billion this year.

According to the green team, this offer will last until 1/5/2016.

Being Ubisoft titles, I guess we can expect Gameworks and problems for AMD users with X-fired cards.
