If you are a PC gamer you will know of the constant naysayers, saying that PC gaming is dead and that Consoles are the future.
PC game retail sale figures for 2007 in North America were reported as 14% of the market and making under $1,000,000,000. Source: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/01/28/pc-game-sales-only-14-of-industry-in-2007/
This sounds rather dissapointing in comparison to console sales. It however is my belief that the sales of PC games is becoming more and more based upon digital distribution and also people ordering online, unfortunatly these sale figures do not get added to the retail figures and would probably shed a more positive light upon the PC gaming industry.
Also one must consider that the PC is a more popular gaming, in europe a place that our american cousins frequently forget about. So the next time you see someone saying PC gaming is dying you tell them otherwise!!!
