Jon Peddie Research has completed a study of worldwide PC gaming hardware. To the surprise of many, it is a $20 billion industry, which is nothing to turn a blind eye at. They say the PC gaming market will grow to over $34 billion by the year 2012. In addition to that is also about $6 billion in software and services.
The economic recession may stunt the expected growth of the consoles in favour of PC Gaming. It makes sense, I mean most people already have a computer capable of most games and with slight alterations and minimal acost, any system can be worthy of most games. Perhaps not the most powerful games like Crysis, but most new games should be fine. PC Gaming has been around for a long time and it is not going anywhere. People don't want to have to spend big bucks on HDTV screens for their Xboxes and Playstations to get proper quality out of them. The resolutions that can be presented on a new PC are extraordinary. The consoles have no chance against a gaming powerhouse.
Another good point to note is that computers can do more than just play games. We all know today's society is reliant on computers, we are not reliant on console gaming.
