The rise of gaming revenue visualized
[quote name="blackwater"]<a href="https://news.microsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/prod/sites/642/2022/09/Gaming-Market-Slides.pdf">Pretty interesting infographic</a> Surprising (to me): * Consoles were a respectably big business even back in the 70s, pretty much half as big as the arcades were, revenue-wise. I would have expected their share to be smaller back then. * Since the 90s, the PC gaming market has always been comparable to the console one. In fact, it was bigger as of 2020. * Mobile is crushing everything, bigger than the PC and console markets combined. * "Handheld" is smaller than I would have expected. I wonder if they're putting the Switch and Nintendo DS in there, or in a different category like Console? Would be cool if someone did this by company, so we could see Commodore and Sega crash and burn, and Sony fight with MS.[/quote]
