Yep, 36 million and yet it's the lowest grossing platform. Plurality Mandarin speakers, majority with hardware weaker than consoles. What use is having millions of people when they don't spend money on games? It's CCUseless.
Lowest grossing platform based upon what? From game sales alone they're grossing 9 billion a year. That undoubtedly puts them ahead of both Xbox and Nintendo for the same metric.
PC is still higher grossing even in that metric against consoles as a whole, we've already been over this.
That isn't games, that is entire operating revenue for the division lol.. PC revenue for games doesn't include hardware lol.
Incorrect, you've just been shown a chart that proves your assertion to be false.
The strange part is they're making demands from a position of weakness. PC gaming is incredibly weak when put against consoles - I don't think they understand they owe their platform of choice's life to consoles.

plus, we are getting like every month PS data, PS5, PS4, PSVR. Between what US playing and EU, is not much different. maybe it is not defined calculated numbers, but it is pretty close what it represents.The strange part is they're making demands from a position of weakness.

Since people keep ignoring it, it really needs to be repeated that in the world's 6th largest economy (the UK), the software revenue split is 5:1 in favour of consoles vs PC. Highest selling PC game in 2023? Hogwarts, 224K. On consoles? EA Sports FC, 2.33 MILLION. 10:1. (Console Hogwarts was 1.7m)
UK 2023 |PS5:1.2m, NSW: 720k, XBS: 650k| PS commands 49% market share/Xbox only 10%. PS5 up 55% and Xbox down 14% Flipbook info added.

Even previously PC exclusive franchises like Diablo are thriving on consoles, to the point where the experiences wouldn't exist and devs wouldn't be able to survive without consoles. 218k sales on consoles for Diablo 4 vs 224k on PC. That's PC's second biggest seller btw. It would land firmly in 10th on the console list.
There's no place on the planet with a comparable economy that can sway that kind of ratio back in PC's favour. Either they don't know that, or they may just be PC Master Baiters.
Until you realize that Sony doesn't dump all that money into first party games just to sell the game itself, and that much of the incentive to greenlight the budgets for most of their first party games goes out the window when the only reason a game exists is to sell copies of that game.
