It was never dying and it will never die. Just off the top of my head, Guild Wars 2 had over a million people sign up for the beta in 2 days! That last WoW expansion sold how many million in 24hrs? Want more numbers? Wait till Diablo 3 gets a release date...

Mmo games were never in doubt. Its the single player games that have been typicaly very pirated and thus hurting sales. Plus so many of the online fps games were so full of hacks & cheats they were unplayable.

Seems like alot of these issues have been addressed, plus console hardware is getting pretty dated now, so I can see why pc game sales are on the up swing.

Console nerd detect....

paddystan5187d ago

Sorry, but no. Im a PC gamer and have over 100 games on my Steam account. ;)

theeg5187d ago

lol....pc gaming isnt making a comeback, it is freaking on a killing spree!!

pc gaming makes up over 50% of all game related revenue when you factor in things like wow subscription and in game shop, league of legends, free to plays, STEAM with 40 million users, amazon digital, direct2drive, greenmangaming, gamers gate, facebook games, flash games, maple story, good old games, ect....

the revenue stream on pc with over 58 MILLION desktop pc's sold just in 2011, and well over 1 BILLION working pc's in the world, is UNMATCHED!

I finally got back into PC gaming 2 1/2 years ago and I'm definitely not looking back. EVER. I sold my 360 and PS3 for a CPU/GPU combo and now when next gen shows up, I'll have already been creepin' in that territory, lol. Steam is definitely the reason I WON'T be going back. Even new games get a pre-discount, sometimes, on Steam.

i don't like mw3 too much but i liked how it came with mw1,and steam has so many great deals especially holiday sales.

i spend 200-300$ each big sale.

steam:farsendor

added the mw3 info in there cause i thought it would be cheaper to buy it in a pack and for me mw1 is worth 60$

KeiserSosay47885187d ago

I'm much of a MW3 fan either, but I play it sometimes. Definitely like that I can play it windowed in 720p and do other things at the same time. Also, there are WAAAAAAYYYY less 13 yr old kids on Steam...holy crap, I don't miss those, lol

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.

Jingsing14d 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….

S2Killinit14d ago

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

Jingsing14d 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.

Tanktopmaster9214d 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
