It doesn't show growth. A lunatic is projecting an insane CAGR and attributing it to a rise in professional gamers and APAC, which btw is already PC-heavy. My stats are real and current.
Capcom isn't the industry, but Capcom also has PC-only games in Asia which drive most of that discrepancy. The fact of the matter is AAA games don't sell on PC like they do on proper platforms like Switch and PlayStation. We have stats from major markets which show PC going head to head with Xbox
I wouldn't take the battle to discounted unit sales. That's, by all measures, the only advantage PC has. Average revenue per user is incredibly low on PC because full priced games just don't sell. Where would a business rather be? It's clear based on how much nearly every single one of them...
@mibu no ookami the point is they have no foresight or credibility. Yes, they pivoted or changed (not corrected) course multiple times. A better company with a superior strategy wouldn't have flopped like a fish as often.
Every so often we get dungeon master on an alt - can't remember his OG account - tell us how PC and Nintendo are the only worthwhile platforms. The seething jealousy over a console that killed his precious Nintendo's console dreams and relegated them to the handheld arena will never not be funny.
And Japan disagrees with you. Invoking Capcom was a dumb move on your part.
14:1 PlayStation to PC ratio in Japan for their flagship franchise. Oof that's gotta hurt your credibility.
PS6 handheld should revive Sony's fortunes in Japan, while Sony continues to dominate Nintendo in other markets. PC is totally dead in Japan. Deader than it is anywhere else. That lie from @Dungeon Master that it's more popular than PlayStation needs to be extinguished.
I wonder if Square is salty that Sony won't release them from their exclusivity contracts. Sony knows best. There are no extra sales to be had on the PC and Xbox graveyards
No, the chart I've linked here correlates to spend. It's the share of payers (not players) per platform. Note how few of those enormous record-breaking MAUs actually fork over anything.
How many MAUs is that, anyway, as a percentage of total user base? 130 out of how many billion?
If it's storefronts (i.e. spend) you're talking about, Switch and PS have PC beat. If it's different devices, well, 90% of PC peasants can't play FFXVI at PS5 level. The PC market is even more fragmented. And if it's an argument you're looking for, you've already lost because the comment from...
Btw only boomers have a higher proportion of their demo who spend more on PC than on consoles anyway - nobody wants to spend money on PC - and the more stats like this come out and get signal boosted, the worse it'll get for the dying platform as support drops off. PC is where piracy and F2P...
