| ICStats said: There's a breakdown above, of the PC Gamer market: Enthusiast 16.4 Million (3%) You might be among the 3% or 11% in terms of how up to date you like to be with the latest GPUs. |
Just for clarification... these are the definitions of Jon Peddie Research:
"In our analysis we use Enthusiast AIB’s as the cornerstone but also account for Enthusiast systems as a pricing segment with averages of $2,199 for desktops and $1,977 for notebooks. The minimum ASP to be included in the Enthusiast class is $1800 and this includes a display factor adjusted for gaming motivation and purchasing frequency."
"In our analysis we use Performance AIB’s as the cornerstone but also account for Performance systems as a pricing segment with averages of $1,551 for desktops and $1,348 for notebooks. The minimum ASP to be included in the Performance class is $1000 and this includes a display factor adjusted for gaming motivation and purchasing frequency."
So 76 million gaming PCs with a minimum price of $1000 / average price of over $1500 (display included)... not too shabby.
