PC gaming vs. console gaming - who is winning?

Ignite Game Technologies compiled data to create an infographic which shows a much clearer image of who is winning the fight between PC gaming and console gaming

Glad I'm a combo gamer and don't have to chose. I have a gaming PC for the multi-plats and superior graphics plus a PS3 for it's great line-up of exclusives. An added benefit is that they're both free to play online; they make a great gaming combo.

Here is my gaming equation: (BF3 on PC) + (Uncharted 3 on PS3) = AMAZING!

i was off PC for some time but this is a big year for it:

Witcher 2
Skyrim
BF3

and soon Star Wars MMORPG

Who's winning? I'm winning. Own both a gaming PC and PS3. "WINNING" :P

miyamoto5288d ago

How about the pirates and hackers on PC, 360, Wii, PSP. DS, 3DS? Are they winning,too?

AgentWD405288d ago

Uncharted 3 ps3 + forza 4 360 + rbr pc = gaming perfection.

frostypants5288d ago

I play PS3, 360, and PC, but this analysis is crap. $20 says those revenue numbers include F2P/social garbage games. In fact I know they do.

There was another chart posted here a while back that breaks it all out, and when you take out that fluff and focus on core games (i.e. the kind gamers actually think of when we discuss this), PC gaming has been flat at best for years now.

Also, the reliability thing was stupid, as every PC is different and they can be plenty unreliable. Not 360 unreliable, but certainly PS3-level unreliable.

Just a PC fanboy misleading article.

Core games? Would you say world of warcraft is a core game? I'm genuinely interested in your answer

The people who don't care one way or the other are the only true winners.

Shok5288d ago

You can't determine a winner, because the 2 different kinds of platforms aren't even in competition with eachother.

Anyways, glad I'm an open-minded gamer that enjoys his PC and his consoles, so I don't have to choose.

kramun5288d ago

I wasn't aware there was a fight.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing39d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit39d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing39d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9239d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
