>DOWNLOADED/BOXED PC GAMES MARKET REVENUES DECREASE DESPITE HIGHER ENGAGEMENT

>Revenues for both PC gaming segments are anticipated to drop slightly in the coming year. PC browser revenues have been decreasing since 2015 because of the transition of casual gaming to mobile devices. In 2016, Facebook’s revenues from gaming were at its lowest since 2011, while Zynga’s PC revenues dropped more than 30%. Newzoo expects the segment to generate $4.5 billion in 2017, a year-on-year decrease of 9.3%. Our full-year revenue analysis showed that PC revenues of public companies decreased in both Western and Asian markets last year, while emerging markets had single-digit growth rates.
>This decrease also has a significant impact on our longer-term forecasts. We now expect downloaded/boxed PC games to reach $24.5 billion in 2019, a significant adjustment downward compared to the $29.0 billion global figure for the PC games market in our January update.

>The console gaming segment performed better than expected in 2016 thanks to console manufacturers, publishers, and consumers embracing of a variety of digital business models. Microsoft and Sony generated more than $14 billion in combined revenues from first-party games, third-party game fees, and subscription revenues. In 2017, we expect console gaming to generate a total of $33.5 billion in revenues worldwide, of which 65.8% digital.

It's almost as if every singleplayer PC game is free...

B-but piracy doesn't hurt sales! The EU cuckmission report t-told me so!

How can PC grow so much and still manage to be terrible?

"PC Master Race" is a meme

>How can PC grow so much
Did you actually look at the graph? The PC market is dying despite the cancerous MOBA and microtransaction ridden free to play trash dominating the platform while the console market is actually growing. PC gaming is on its way out.

Computers are worthless and only fat loser retards would want one. People can do everything on their phones nowadays or if they want a better gaming experience they buy a console.

Wtf you gonna do on a computer? everything you do on your phone.

Waste of money

Considering that the number of people with capable PCs is considerably less than console owners, it's impressive how high PC sales are.

Why do some people think it's acceptable to write or say "cuck" in every sentence? Insecurity?

Does anyone here actually care about these gay platform war threads or is it just genuine 13 year olds?

When it's about games, Xbox, PS4 and Switch are enemies.

But when it comes to sales, they're adding up together to even begin competing with PC

>-2% yoy
>Market is dying

Pick one.

PC has been proclaimed dead as a gaming platform for at least the past 20 years, kids.
Still there, with more games than ever, and there's been far worse times.
And still a more important market that any one console brand.

>Are you a video game journalist circa 2007?

Actually pretty impressive considering that Console is split between at least 3 different platforms whilst PC is just a single one.

I also have to wonder where handheld sales are on this. I mean, mobile games seem to refer entirely to Phone and Tablet games.

Does that mean stuff like the 3DS is in the console section, or are they just not measuring it?

>Meanwhile rest of world is playing PUBG, LoL, DOTA
But muh $60 24fps cinematic masterpieces!

I cant tell if this post was made today or 20 years ago

So what bullshit manipulated data is this based on this time?

>PC poorfag race

>showing 2017, the year consoles made a meager return
>after being cannibalized by mobile for 10 years
Why so smug? The console cycle is 6 years of being eaten by casual mobiletards (something PC is immune to) and 2 years of limp "recovery."

If you actually have balls, post 2007-2016.

>comparing actual game sales with sales generated from moneysinks for homebound wifes.

PC Master Race the size of THREE console markets. Top Kek.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of revenue from those "boxed/downloaded" segment will be from moba and ftp trash like lol and overwatch too

PC gaming is done

>Console Games
>PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbone, 3DS, 2DS, Vita, Switch, Wii and Wii U
>BARELY beats the PC market
>Especially when a brand new console came out this year with one of the best games in history

HOWLING LADS. ABSOLUTELY HOWLING.

>Bloodborne: The Only PS4 Exclusive Edition
>didn't even get 5 million sales*

>Overwatch which is 'trash'
>20 MILLION sales and counting

*despite having 50 MILLION consoles sold**
**which were all bought for FIFA/NFL/NBA/NHL/CoD

>PC gaming is dying
>the year that PUBG came out and just sold 10 million + copies out of nowhere

top kek consolefags

The difference is how they made their money

The console market generates revenue from actual sales

The PC market generates almost all its revenue from microtransactions on 4 year old games

>not even PUBG can carry the bloated corpse that is PC gaming

>normalfaggots and women market are losing their fickle temporary interest in Facebook-tier """gaming""" app-shit and not spending money on Keeping Up With the Cardassians or Gem Crush anymore
>consoles still have to triple-team up to take on Daddy PC

PC is dying any day now

Cite your sources right now.

>he thinks touting microtransation multiplayer trash is making a good case for PC vs a platform putting out new IPs

Its literally their entire market you cuck

Nobody's mentioned it may have to do with the fact that video games are fucking garbage nowadays?
