PC Gaming Is So Dead That 63% Of American Gamers Game on PC

[QUOTE="kalipekona"]

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] Of course its arbitrary, I'm just giving the hermits who are stupid enough to make grand claims a hard time since they base it on nothing but a few passing articles that don't prove it and their ego.

lx_theo

And yet you haven't said a damn thing of value or proven anything in this thread. 

Exactly. You haven't provided anything of value to this discussion. Only trolled others.

Steam for instance requires an online connection, so 6 million is their total user base.

 

 

lx_theo

Are you a moron?

6million concurrent =/= 6 million total user base.

Stop being an idiot, trolly.

5% play real games

Rofl you mad that PC is #1 :lol:

I think a better test is to look at the displays in stores like Walmart and Gamestop.

No disrespect to the PC but it's game section in most stores comes off as an afterthought.

Resorting to baby pictures now are we?clyde46

I notice you didn't care that he started the whole "girls nerd virgin" trolling before I started that.

[QUOTE="Jankarcop"]

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] He makes a fair point. Even single player users will be counted for steam when that is not the case for Xbox, PSN, and Wii. Not to mention, it may count people who simply have the application open and are not playing as well for Steam. Many variables to consider. By the way, you have yet to provide any sources for any of those, so it hardly matters.lx_theo

6million concurrent =/= 6 million total user base.

Stop being an idiot, trolly.

But it should also be noted that Steam =/= all of PC gaming.

And regardless there are also the people who use Steam in offline mode not being counted in the total.

No consolite has been able to prove the OP wrong. Or that PC has the most revenue.

To note (for future generations): the deluded PC fanboy known as Jankarcop has devolved from a state of making unbacked claims and proclaiming dominance, to simply declaring dominance with no other backing. It seems its ability to form complete thoughts has deteriorated.

I provided plenty of facts. Now you're just trolling me so I'll go ahead and post pictures to laugh at you.

No surprise pc software sale was 20 billion in revenue during 2012 I notice that some people keep on saying it adds facebook games and shit first of all Facebook games are free unless somehow count items purchases or credits :roll:

4 reserach companies vs. SW users not giving any counter evidence?

Actually he has. It's the people claiming that PC revenue is only high because of casual FB games that have failed to provide a single shred of evidence.

Jankarcop

A bar chart that has no origin to speak of

A chart from 2010 with projections for the next two years.

And a broken image...

You do realize these all have the same issue the original pie chart had, right? Except the broken image. That isn't even anything. I also wonder if you even remember the claims you need to prove, since the new ones that works (one from this thread by the way) adds nothing to the evidence of any of those claims.

Lmao Clyde being tricked by trolls, what an idiot.

A study carried out by the Entertainment Software Association found that even in the US the PC nearly matches all home consoles combined in terms of gaming use. Other studies have shown that overall revenue generated on the PC in 2013 is on track to outpace all consoles combined.

The fact that the PC is a highly thriving game platform isn't news to most of us, but for those of you still in doubt...well, there you go.

kalipekona

You do realize the reason why it is 63% is because all of the people who play farmville while at work on their company computers count right? All the people who play solitare and minesweeper? All the people who play angry birds in their browser for free? All the free browser based kids games? Desktop tower defense? Bejeweled and other pop cap casual games that millions of moms play on their laptops also count. When a indie bundle of cheap little smart phone level games sells with like 5 or 10 games in it for a penny on humble indie bundle each of those games count.

Bottom line is the majority of "PC gamers" in statistics are people who play cany crush saga or games of thrones on facebook while at work, moms who play bookworm on their laptops, and kids who play angry birds or one of its million clones.

If you took away casual gaming PC gaming statistics would be under 10%.

How many games each year win game of the year awards and 100% completely PC exclusive games?

2013 http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/winners.html 1 pc exclusive

2012 http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/2012winners.html no pc exclusive games.

2011 http://www.gamecriticsawards.com/2011winners.html 1 pc exclusive

Well.....you get my point.

You are posting facts in the improper light. You take a very vauge and shadowed statistic with no break downs and you post it as absolute truth. The only fact is you wouldnt even be able to post your graph without middle aged housewives that are addicted to facebook and play chefville.
