PC gaming hardware sells double as much as consoles
Posted on Friday, 6 August 2010 by Speed, source: BigDownload
The PC Gaming Alliance has released its Horizons Hardware research report for 2009 showing that last year twice as much PC gaming hardware got sold worldwide than all PS2, PS3, Wii and X360 consoles together.
The total amount of PC's capable for gaming (netbooks and computers with integrated graphics card were excluded) was worth 54,6 billion dollar, good for 61,5 million desktops and laptops. The market is expected to grow to 61.3 billion by 2014. In other words: PC gaming is all but dead!
For 2009 the total amount of PC's with which you can game is estimated at about 212 million for 2009 and will probably grow to about 322 million by 2014.
The chairman of the research team summarized the report as follows:
Austrasia is the biggest region for PC gaming with 33% while Western Europe and the US account for respectively 24 and 22% market share.

The chairman of the research team summarized the report as follows:
One of the biggest trends I’m seeing in the 2009 Horizon’s hardware report indicates a strong demand for more capable mobile based systems by PC Gamers. PC Gamers are playing a central role in fueling healthier margins, and driving innovation in this space worldwide.
PC gaming is the highest profile and most mature example of a new era of computing systems based on usage. These new usage-based systems are hardware configurations optimized for an improved user experience. Consumers are often willing to pay more for such an experience. In the case of gaming PCs, up to 25 percent more as compared to a mainstream system.
