Mal genauere Zahlen und außerdem der Grund warum PCler hier so peinlich berührt um sich Beißen.
Console took the main market share at $42.8 billion, with premium titles making up 46% of console revenue at $19.9 billion, down 14% year-on-year.
Free-to-play games comprised 32% of revenue at $13.9 billion, up 4.5% YoY. Subscriptions saw a 16% share at $6.9 billion, an increase of 14.1% YoY.
As for PC, it contributed $37.3 billion with free-to-play games making up 58% of total PC revenue at $24.billion – up 1.4% year-on-year. Premium games comprised 28% of revenue at $10.7 billion, down 2.6% YoY.
Grob doppelt so viel Umsatz bei den Premium Games ist natürlich ne derbe Schlappe für die Spielerschaft auf dem PC. Merkt man ihnen auch hier deutlich an.
Der Ausblick für Konsolen schaut auch gut aus:
The market intelligence firm forecasts that overall market growth to 2027 will reach $92.7 billion and will be "driven predominantly by console."
"Console growth is expected to return in 2025 by key pay-to-play titles," said Newzoo, noting it will be driven by the eagerly-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 and the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.
