Well charts like this is mostly for investors than anything else. They are showing shareholders and such that PC gaming is still growing so it's worth continued investments instead of going full on muh Ai.

Hence the "During the Bank of America Global Technology Conference, NVIDIA"s SVP of Gaming, Jeff Fisher, sat down to discuss the state of the GeForce gaming segment & what we can expect in the years ahead of us" etc.

Then they are deceiving investors if they aren't going to show general user hardware, and just inflate what little they have sold this generation (outside of the obvious 4080/90 purchases, because multiple sites and stores report not selling much of the mid to lower tier cards, so it is obvious Nvidia is the one lying).

PC gaming has always been growing though, which is why I don't see why investors need to even be told this, it's akin to grass being green and the sky being blue. I feel this is just big fluff from them, and trying to spin this gen as a rousing success, despite the actual sales not being made world wide.

I hope that conference was talking about what they cannot expect, if they are to keep staying the same course (projections should be pointing this out and not lying about what to expect, but I know people are fickle to stoop to that low, and not use averages).


This all reminds me of the time MS stopped boasting about Xbox hardware sales numbers, and instead defaulted to "number of Xbox users" (which was around the time they started requiring Switch owners to sign into XBL network on Minecraft, and asking PS owners to do the same, to inflate those numbers and make it look like they generated new users overnight, much like what Epic is doing now with buying games/studios and requiring new users make an EG account, or being added to their pool via EoS that is implanted firmly on Steam now). 

Well the slides they have shown aren't all that bad honestly. Every tech company sugar coats their investors so that's nothing new. They aren't gonna tell Investors their bad side cause that would be dumb lol. Come on, you should know this. No company in the world would show people their bad side unless they are forced to. Investors can find that out if they did research but Nvidia or any other company aren't going to voluntarily say, "we have less shipments of gaming gpus year over year so invest on us!" Also there's plenty of investors that don't know anything about PC gaming.
