Electronic Arts has revealed its Q1 FY16 earnings results and according to them, the PC is the second – if not THE – most profitable platform for the publisher. In addition, EA reported that players in Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline logged more than 170 million online gameplay hours combined in Q1, and that more than 16 million matches of FIFA 15 were played on average per day in Q1.
But let’s get back to what is more interesting here. According to EA’s reports, the PC platform was responsible for 21% of EA’s earnings. On the other hand, current-gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox One) were responsible for 41%, while old-gen consoles (P3 and X360) were responsible for 24%.
This basically means that the PC has managed to surpass old-gen consoles. Not only that, but if the earnings for current-gen consoles were equal, then the PC is THE most profitable platform for EA (20.5% for each console versus 21% for the PC). Our guess is that PS4’s sales are higher than those of Xbox One, thus PS4 is the most profitable platform for EA, making the PC the second most profitable platform for the big publisher.
Still, this is great news for all PC gamers as our platform is a profitable one for EA, which basically means that it will be highly supported by the company.

One game that its way more popular than everything on the market that also works extremely well its Battlefield 4 in special on Operation Locker 64 conquest large.
PS: Here BF4 its selling now like hot cupcakes
I will never understand why people love Operation Metro/Locker so much.
You can get 50k points per round (w/o bonus)
I bet they would sell even more if they went back to Steam for good and got in the “crazy sales” dance with Valve’s platform…
Screw that, we need the competition. Just read the horror stories about steam support on the PCMR subbredit vs Origin.
That would be awesome.
Valve should have lower the percentage cut. Maybe Uplay and Origin wouldn’t have existed.
And if they got rid of f’ing battlelog. I will never play a f’ing battlefield game again aslong as that still breathes.
Bullsh|t, then stop treating PC gamers as garbage with console dumbed down game ports
That’s probably why it’s so profitable lol
recent games from EA/DICE work amazing and scale perfectly on ever rig!
i don’t know what are you talking about
He’s not talking about performance.
I certainly hope this is sarcasm Mr Shill.
Yes they are optimized very well, but still they are “dumbed down”…
Bro,,, PC games work differently than Console games. We just play more optimized version of Console games on our PCs but those aren’t made for PCs primarily. Dragon Age Origins was the last Single Player focused AAA PC Game from EA. It was made for PCs first and then ported to Consoles. Compare it with DA2 which also looks and performs better on PC but it’s dumbed down trash compared to original which was masterpiece (despite its balancing issues).
games are made for consoles on a pc because thats where dev’s make money is at.then they are ported to pc
look at the chart man ps4 and xbox one are killing the pc
Yeah, COMBINED. Don’t forget the last gen consoles will be dead soon, at least i hope.
but it goes to show you pc isnt the top platform if you like e-sports and wasting your ,money on skins get a pc AAA titles that work get a console
lol
I buy all my games on PC despite owning consoles as the PC versions look a lot better and play better @ 60fps. I will even buy Batman AK for PC when it goes back on sale. I hate having to play games @ 30fps or less and riddled with compromises.
Also you cannot combine two different console platforms against one platform the PC, especially when EA has to pay Sony expensive license fees to get their games on PS4 and then pay Microsoft expensive license fees to get their games on XB1.
The PC is an open platform so EA don’t need to pay anyone license fees to get their game on PC and as far as EA are concerned PC is either the best selling platform for their games or second best out of five different platforms of which four require negotiating expensive license fees.
who cares about what a no name says.pis* off
Well to be fair I didn’t care about what some consoletard said either, I just thought I’d tell you much I love gaming on PC and how I buy everything for PC despite owning consoles.
I think you should take your own advice and pis5 off , I am sure there are plenty “I’d rather a smooth 30fps” circle jerk conslol threads to opine on?.
i dont respond to no names.bye bye
Well you are responding to me you dumb a*s, that would be like me saying I don’t reply to jealous consoletards…..
If you like sub 30fps and long loading times yeah.
but games work tho look at batman…lulz
The game is a POS, it’s got nasty bugs on consoles as well.
works on consoles. it STILL doesnt work on pc…lulzzzz.
yeah, AAA console titles that work like:
HaloMCC unplayable for months.
FlopClub broken for almost a month.
Evil within still unplayable on consoles.
Bloodborne with that terrible frame timing and loading times.
ACU on consoles still sub 25fps and 900p.
Tetris, lol.
and many pc games didn’t worked on console ever, so ?
You do know the PS4 and XB1 are competing platforms right? You can’t combine both consoles and say their sales are more because PC is one platform,”consoles” are not one platform.
its about total games sales it what matters to companies.look at batman arkham knight it sold 2million with ONLY 40% pc its about total revenue thats all the companies care about, and the pc is falling behind LOOK AT THE CHART THAT SAYS TOTAL REVENUE.its not that hard to see pc elitist just wont except it.
Yes for both consoles derp, PC is one platform. Ubisoft reported both consoles sales down while PC sales were up.
the chart say total game revenue. for all platforms.i guess you cant read moron.TOTAL,TOTAL,TOTAL,TOTAL REVENUE can you read the chart now?TOTAL REVENUE.the chart SAYS total revenue.i guess you only read what you want to read.typical pc elitist the chart is in front of you and you cant read it.
“Our guess is that PS4’s sales are higher than those of Xbox One, thus PS4 is the most profitable platform for EA, making the PC the second most profitable platform for the big publisher.”
you seam to be to ignorant to understand something as simple as total
revenue but most pc elitist are ignorant.
Yeah, from one game studio LOL.
you are not in a position to say if he or are ignorant.
read his pots if you dont see he is then you are as well
What don’t you get about the PC being the second most profitable platform after the PS4? Same with Ubisoft.
you still didnt read what i posted about ubisoft man just stop trying.
Ubisoft Sales by Platform, 3 Months 2015/16
PC: 23%
PS4: 27%
XBox One: 11%
PC up 9%
PS4 down 9%
XBox One down 6%.
http://www.statista.com/statistics/269679/breakdown-of-ubisoft-sales-by-platform/
quit trying man you are making other pc gamers look bad
Wow, you posted a thirdy part website, here this is what DSOG posted, this is ubisoft’s OWN report https://www.ubisoftgroup.com/comsite_common/en-US/images/pressrelease_downloadablemm_20150709_040318_ubisoftq1fy16englishfinaltcm99211260.pdf
Are you saying Ubisoft’s own report is wrong?
you only poster for 3 months and its not even 2016 what i linked was over 7 years.
It’s not my fault you don’t understand Ubisoft own report of sales by platform from 2014-2015.
that report u linked is 2015-2016 its not even 2016 yea where did you get 2014-2015 did you even look at wgat you linked
“As we can clearly see below, in Q1 2014/2015, only 14% of Ubisoft’s sales came from the PC. In Q1 2015/2016, however, the PC sales were raised to 23%. As a result of that, the PC has managed to top PS3, X360 and Xbox One.”
All I can see is you posting same link over and over again. Not to mention it’s also an outdated information and you are ignoring facts that others have posted. Also keep in mind that PC gamers hate Ubisoft, which is one of the most anti PC companies out there. I can nitpick too by posting links where SEGA said that they make more money on PC, so they will focus on PC from now on or Blizzard guys who make billions on PC or devs of Sanctum who said their 95% sales were on PC and Console versions even failed to break even. What a shame.
its 7 years off gathered info from ubisoft.not 3 monthe like what he showed and i bet its the same for must companies.pc gaming isnt the best platform just because you thibk so.
its not 2016 you cant post false sales.
http://www.statista.com/statistics/269679/breakdown-of-ubisoft-sales-by-platform/
“look at batman arkham knight it sold 2million with ONLY 40% pc”
ONLY 40% ? is that is a bad thing ? for a game that pulled from stores a day after release ? who hit you in the head when you were a baby ?
Only 40%, LMAO.
look at the new final fantasy its locked at 30 fps on pc just like batman was if they cared about pc or its was the best platform its wouldnt be locked at 30 fps..lol
what does this have anything to do with batman sales ? almost all of console games are locked at 30fps or less, so by that logic they hate consoles more than PC. by the way new FF will have a locked fps but it’s not cofirmed it’s 30fps, also you can unlock batman’s fps. you know, unlike consoles you have something called options on PC.
its been confirmed the new ff is llocked at 30fps. they make more money on consoles since every pc game is dirt cheap and everyone waits for steam sales and they games get pirated as well. so how do they make money on pc? they dont. they make some but way more on consoles. so in theory they would want to concentrate on the platforms that make them money ie consoles.
it will ALWAYS happen no matter how much money you spend on a pc games will always be made for consoles then ported over.always have been and always will be. if pc was the best platform every game would work from day 1 on it.thats not the case.
Need UFC and NHL
You couldn’t have said anything more spot on that this. WHERE DA FAKKK is NHL on pc ? I guess they keep it console only to helps sony’s and ms console sales.
Steam>>GOG>>>>Origin>>UPlay
Battlefield 4(Origin) beats mostly everythig that is GOG or Steam
the way Origin survives : BF4 and FIFA
that can not be true, 9/10 PC games are sold on steam and most pc version sales nowdays are from steam not origin. So the money that steam makes from the sales of all games combimed is much better than what ea made from fifa and battlefield on origin. Has EA realzied how many sales they lost by not releasing fifa and battlefield on steam?
They released some of their games on Steam, but stopped doing it somewhere around 2012. Not sure what’s the problem to release, for example, BF3 on Steam. It’s been 4 years. I doubt someone still buying it.
“players in Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline logged more than 170 million online gameplay hours combined”
169.5 million of those hours are form BF4.
pc is really profitable for us but we decided to use all sorts of DRMs on it anyway and most of our games from now on are online only titles.
Why is it every once in a while a dumb a*s console fanboy finds his/her way to this site?. I come here to get away from ignorant console fanboys or idiots extolling the values of consoles to me as if I would somehow be completely oblivious to what casual mainstream gaming has to offer??.
Hardline is much more popular on consoles than on PC.
it’s not that popular comparing it to BF4 or BF3, it sold better on consoles and has more player base but not that much and the reason is very simple, there were no other game to buy on consoles when it released, the game was a flop on all platforms, nowhere near as popular as BF4 or even older games in the series.
Yes indeed.
that chart says it all consoles are more popular then pc. imo.if you like e-sports get a pc other wise get a console for everything else.
While i can understand where you come from with that statement, i can name a bunchs of reason why one would prefer pc OVER consoles and that’s beside esports. I’ll just name one that’s very important.
Keyboard/mouse
While many players enjoy console controllers, another bunch prefer pc for RTS, FPS, MMO. Hence your state doesn’t apply.
My 2 cents.
i actually like using controller fps vs mouse/keyboard to each his own..e-sports its they only thing making money on pc right now.people buying SKINS for games like league and cs go is the pc total revenue.and there are articles on that as well.
I don’t know if you live under a rock or something but i can name a few franchises making money on pc. Diablo, starcraft, bf, cod etc etc. PC is not all about esports. But like you said each his own.
maybe you are under a rock all those except diable are e-sports thats why they are making money.yea cod is an e-sport.oh you must be under a rock because Diablo isnt a pc franchise anymore its on the consoles and it doesnt require an internet connection like the pc does.
Indeed, they’re mostly esports now. But think about it 1 second. BEFORE esports became what they are right now, these games existed, starcraft1, diablo2, call of duty 2-3 and so on. Now saying that BECAUSE of esports these games can be profitable is wrong imo. These games were there before esports and they made enough money to encourage devs to keep their respective franchises alive etc. So you know, bottom line, games were there before esports not the other way around. AND if the pc platform wasn’t profitable, there wouldn’t have been esports (that’s just an assumption).
yea its all e-sports now.these games make a killing on people buying skins. watch case openings on twitch and look at how much money is spent in cs go where they spent hundreds for skins.or some guy spent 3k on hearthstone cards.look at ALL the esports that are out and coming out.league,dota2,starcraft 2,cs go,tf2,smite,evolve,hearthstone,sf4,cod, and soon dirty bomb and over watch.all these games is what is making pc the pc revenue.aka these games are cash shops and people keep on buying skins.
Diablo 3 sold over 20 million on PC.
PS3 – 220,000
XBOX360 – 200,000
A total for 420,000
So tell me, how many console games can claim to sell 20 million on one platform? Your AAA The Order 1886 didn’t even sell one million copies.
you forgot to include ps4 and x1.the oder 1886 is a pos game.and thats is your argument the order 1886 ..lmao..ps diablo 3 is online only on pc consoles it isnt..have fun
Got nothing to do with anything, Diabo 3 still sold over 20 million, your POS AAA exclusive sold not even a million. So again, how many console games can claim to sell over 20 million, even cross platform?
thats all you got?.diablo 3..lol console gamers didnt care about that game…lol btw diablo 3 sold 20,000,000 world wide not 20,000,000 on pc.next
P*ss off console peasant troll.
typical response from a pc elitist that can back anything up and get mad when shown up.
I can backup everything I say, it’s just you don’t want to read it and you didn’t even atempt to answer my last question about Diablo 3. Not even a hand full of games on console or multiplatform can come close to 20 million copies as a multiplatform game.
Speaking of elitist, why you sticking up for consoles on a PC Gaming site, feel defensive?
yes i did.console gamers didnt give a shi* about diablo 3.the sales reflected that and thats on only game you seam to be clinging to.defensive nope i just like putting pc elitist in there place and you didnt have anything to say when i put you in yours when i posted the ubisoft chart from 08-15 showing you wrong abot it.PS 20;000,000 WAS SOLD WORLDWIDE NOT 20,000,000 ON PC GET YOU SHI* STRAIGHT.
That’s ‘seem’ by the way.

http://www.dsogaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/adsdasdsa.jpg
Your argument is so bad you better stop now, you claim it’s all about “playing games” yet claim consoles users don’t give a sh*t about Diablo 3, big claim there, or the fact it sold sh*t on the consoles and you can’t accept it, you can’t have it both ways moron.
I’m just going to throw a bone here. MInecraft sold 20m on PC only. You can all wikipedia that if you want. The fact stays that pc have many titles that have sold alot of copies without the “esport mania”. But yea, i know someone who’s going to trash Minecraft saying it’s a PoS game and consoles didn’t want it even though they got it etc etc.
Yep, true.
thats all people seam to have a pc for mind craft and diablo 3 oh and e-sports..lol pass
aim assist…lol
“Get a console for everything else”
stfu u peasant trash. u get a console for console exclusives, PC for everything else.
you get a console for games to work…lulkz batman locked at 30pfs on pc..the new final fantasy type 0 not even out yet and its locked at 30 fps..lol..if devs really cared about pc they would make every game work and run their best for the platform…lbut they dont …lol
never understood why scumbag peasants like yourself lingur on pc only websites. You must truly be one sad virgin
I dont think they care too much about some of their PC ports, why do they keep giving us a slightly sh**ter fifa than the consoles?
Hardline wasn’t as profitable as you’d hoped.
E-A Sports…. It’s in the game.
Yeah, apart from fanboys who live in fairy land, it’s known fact that PC gaming is growing while Console market is falling, whether someone likes it or not (rather believe neutral sources than raging fanboys on internet or Sony/M$ PR). These days we hear more news about PC version outselling Console versions than we ever did. PC Gaming is bigger than ever.
But unfortunately, 3 giants (Ubi, Acti, EA) along with few others (WB) will continue to act like idiots. Can’t even remember the last time EA published AAA Single Player focused PC game despite PC making them a lot of money. 95% of their stuff is Console focused and their future policies (always online for example) are becoming worse. Glad that I don’t care about a single upcoming game that is coming out from 3 giants except Mirror’s Edge,,, and may be Mass Effect but that’s wait and see (Don’t trust Bioware anymore).
Smaller publishers and independent developers are delivering more quality products these days and most of them are PC friendly (While big giants take money from Sony/M$ or milk same crap every year instead of making something ambitious). I’m just sad that these idiots are sitting on IPs like World in Conflict, No One Lives Forever, Command and Conquer, Freelancer, Soldier of Fortune etc and doing nothing about them. I can die happily after playing sequels of those games (along with HL3 and Warcraft 4).
Yeah, Nothing innovative at all in the AAA space ATM, plus console users have to pay full price for a rehashed game that’s old and dirt cheap on the PC. Basically all the innovation is coming from the PC indie side, even PC funded games are coming to console because of the lack of good AAA game on console.
i guess you pirate then?or wait for steam sales?the reason pc games are coming to consoles is because of picary and they will make more money on consoles then pc.and now that indie devs are losing money on pc is because of the steam return policy they will be looking to consoles to make money.there are good AAA gsmes on consoles that work.remember AAA games are made fro console THEN ported to pc not the other way around.
Total nonsense.
“Ubisoft has shared its sales figures for the fiscal quarter ended June 30th. And what’s really interesting here is that the PC platform has managed to top almost every other platform. While the PC was previously the fourth most successful platform, it is now the second most successful one, being only 4% behind PS4.”
“As we can clearly see below, in Q1 2014/2015, only 14% of Ubisoft’s sales came from the PC. In Q1 2015/2016, however, the PC sales were raised to 23%. As a result of that, the PC has managed to top PS3, X360 and Xbox One.”
Also, stop propagating bad data and scaremongering, even the devs said it’s too early for the refund policy to show proper data.
how about this chart that says that says from 2008-2015 that says other wise and by platform..and acording to this chart pc is way behind consoles in sales. ps you didnt show a chart.
http://www.statista.com/statistics/269679/breakdown-of-ubisoft-sales-by-platform/
*picary?
Did you learn English grammar and spelling on your consoles?
Consoles are for tech illiterates and kids. Thankfully for the console manufacturers there’s lots of both, but that’s not where you’re going to get the best gaming experiences.
I call console gamers ‘drive-thru gamers’ because they’re as concerned with quality as someone who eats at McDonald’s. They go not because the food is any good, but because of the fallacy that it’s cheaper to eat there and it’s quick and convenient.
Dumb consumers in both cases.
ah an ignorant pc elitist.not even going to respond to you.next.
ps ill take gaming on my 50’led over a 22′ monitir.thats a way better gaming experiences.
See, you can’t even remotely make a good argument for consoles, playing on a 50″ TV is not an argument or valid reason, my goodness, even Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64 could be used on a friggin TV, PC’s have been able to be hooked up to TV’s for a very long time.
You seem to make the assumption having a bigger TV makes a better gaming experience, LOL no.
you seam to think a few more fps does. and yes gaming on a 50’led is better the your 22′ monitor way better
What makes you think I have a 22″ monitor troll? Enjoy your 30fps 50″ 10ms gaming experience. I’ll take my 24″ 144Hz 1ms gaming experience over that cr*p any time.
console gamers just want to play games man only pc jerks off about fps..zzzoommgg 60fps. (splurged on my self because of 60fps).man my1000 fps on my 10′ monitor is sweet..thats how you sound to console gamers when you talk about fos we just laugh and say they jizzed in their pants over it..lol
Ooooh so it’s just about playing games now is it? LOL, great closing argument you have there.
man you are ignorant i didnt argue over any of that.learn to read and not what only you want to read.just like this article. and total revenue..lol plz stop trying. ps i only said 50; tv is better to play on the a 22’monitir.
I have a 4K Sony 55″ hooked up to my PC…
What’s wrong with jizzing over FPS man.
hey if thats what you want to do in your spare time thats cool.
The thing is this generation the consoles are kind of crap at actually offering the “console experience”.
In the last two generations it was largely the case that you could pick up a game, put it in the machine and you were off, playing a completely stable game where the only factor diluting your enjoyment was the design of the game itself.
It was simple, stress free and worked so well that it really didn’t matter that there were was a version of the game that worked better on other platforms, especially when those other platforms had myriads of issues. The small premium you paid for the console version was worth it for peace of mind and ease of use.
Now it seems every major game release has performance issues to some degree and patching has become perverted into a justification for providing a poor experience upon launch. That’s made the “console experience” on consoles a thing of the past.
At the same time the PC has gotten better at closing the gap in terms of a cohesive, stable experience, with fewer headaches for end users (for one thing, out of the box controller support with actual controller prompts is ubiquitous these days) and better quality ports overall.
Sure, you still hear off the odd horror story PC port, but they are ON AVERAGE much, much better than they use to be with a considerably vaster selection than was tradtionally the case.
Hopefully next generation consoles remember how to be consoles: by offering a coherent, consistent experience at a stable standard that delegates the administration of games behind the scenes so the user doesn’t have to concern themselves with it.
like i say the $400 pc biulds are ment to play the low end pc games like mine craft,league, wow,dote.ect.the $1200-$200 is ment to run every game maxed at ultra but these next gen consoles are $400 and $350 and the games look just as good as a $1200 high end pc.as i said in many posts the pc is all about e-sport cash shops.go ahead and spend $800 on cases in cs go i still think you pc gamers are idiots for doing that. real money for skins and if you havent noticed just about every game coming out on pc that does well is an e-sport or f2p cash shop.
Read and understand…

http://www.destructoid.com/pc-gaming-hardware-market-holds-lead-over-consoles-278264.phtml
A gaming PC is ANY PC of any configuration, from $350 DIY builds made for playing retro platformers and Minecraft all the way to $2000 builds meant for 4K 60fps gaming and video editing.
A $400 gaming console only does one thing, has a limited software library, largely isn’t upgradeable and it’s tethered to a TV. Mobile gaming is growing, as mobile hardware is getting more powerful every year closing the gap between console hardware performance, and the PC has always been the platform with the highest performance.
If you want a casual gaming experience at this point you go mobile. If you want the high-end you go PC. If you want something in-between you settle for consoles but they won’t be around for much longer. People don’t NEED consoles, but they do need their mobile devices and desktop PCs.
Sony and Microsoft know this, which is why they’ve invested so much in cloud computing and cloud gaming services. They know which way the wind is blowing and dedicated hardware isn’t it. In 15 years we’ll just subscribed to services like Netflix, only for gaming, and will play streaming games over fiber-speed internet.
That’s the future, not dedicated gaming boxed that come out once ever 8 years with companies fighting over third-party exclusives. The economics there aren’t sustainable with ballooning budgets.

I guess it’s not so great when you look at the chart and they barely top mobile gaming
It’s been established for a long time now that PC Gaming Revenue tops all consoles…COMBINED. Just look it up.
mobile gaming and tablets is where its going to be at in a few years
Absolutely bro, and they call it reboot/ upgrade/ remastered edition for the consoles, and STILL it most often looks worse and of course play worse (30fps tops). And the console drones just keep swallowing that SH*T over and over!
Really pathetic how easy it’s for the devs to make some quick buck, for a crappy version huh :/
What really impresses me is the fact that PC gamers hate EA and Ubisoft, yet they are making them a lot of money (if not the most). On other hand those who prioritize PC make most money on the platform (SEGA, Blizzard, Valve etc).
Yeah totaly, they really must think about if/when they do right to us pc gamers, how much more money they could get.
And as of now they still get that load of money from the pc is really crazy.
Those Ea/Ubi A-holes dont deserve that kind of money from us. Well maybe they could sack some of the monkeys that seems to run the show, and get some new blood with better working brains, as of now it seems they are totaly braindead, and still those fago**s get that kind of money = crazy huh :/
they dont make money off of pc gamers..lol with picary and steam sales how do you expect them to make money.now with steams return policy indie devs are going to start coming to consoles.since thats where the money is and games are made for.
The Order 1886 has got to be one of the biggest flops and definitely biggest flop on the PS4, AAA junk.
Agree totaly mate, I actually have that stinker for a game, and even how much I tried to get into it I couldent, the game sucks really hard :/
And WTF is about the praise for the graphics it got, I wonder. All I see is a sh*tty blurry mess coupled with extremely small maps.
It’s all overhyped crap, it plays like crap and it looks like crap.
As you say, PS4 AAA junk, and nothing more!
pc games are coming to consoles because of picary.and steam sales how do you expect the dev to make any money on oc.thats why consoles are getting pc games so they can actually make money on consoles.
over 30,000,000 ps4/xbox one,10,000,000 wii u sales. this doesnt include phones and tablets the desktop pc is dying.
No you RETARED DIPSHIT!
Crawl back to yesterday, you dont now SH*T!
F*CKN LOOSER, go kiss your pathetic weak POS console!
It’s a known fact that the consoles are a dying breed, Pc is the only future!
yet another pc elitist that cant handle the truth even if the numbers are in front of him…sad very sad.
over 30.0000 ps4/ones. But over 300.000.0000 millions pc are sold evry year. Phones and tablets are for 5 years old casual gamers real gamers play aaa games on pc and consoles. Still pc is doing very well.
you are ignorant 300,000,000 pc’s?..lol well if you say the sky is green then it is?..back up that 300,000,000. you cant cause it bs..next.
Here it says it
http://www.eweek.com/pc-hardware/ces-2015-death-of-laptop-desktop-pcs-isnt-about-to-happen.html
Now you will tell me that most of these pc;s are bought for people who are not gamers and use them for work only. Yes that the true but still this shows that pc outperform conssole slaes a lot. People buy consoles only for gaming while you can buy a pc to use it for whatever you want
Actually, that is about right. According to statisticbrain, PC global sales figures have been a little over 300 million per year since about 2010.
According to worldometers, this year there’s already over 147 million PCs sold and we’re still missing the heaviest half of the year, with Black Friday and the Holiday season.
Consoles won’t be around in 10-15 years. They’re redundant boxes. 30 mil PS4s after over 3 years of sales for hardware that supposedly serves the hardcore gaming consumer? Big wow. Drop in the bucket compared to DIY PC sales.
iPhone sales, in just one quarter of one year, account for more than next-gen console sales in two years.
Dedicated gaming devices are dying in a climate where desktop PCs and mobile devices can do everything PLUS gaming(high-end performance gaming in the PC realm).
reverse that pc’s wont be around.who wantsa to stare at a 24’screen at a desk.with vr,t holo lens,steam machines all coming out the target is at home infront of your tv.not at you desk looking at a 24′ screen.didnt oculus rift say they wouldnt have vr on consoles and that changed when microsoft partnerd with oculus and valve vr.dont tell me you dont think that was just vr for pc only?..occlue and valv vr is comming for xbox one sooner then you think especially with windows 10 being on pc and xbox one. or ps microsoft is working on making pc games streamable with xbox one
Learn to read. I said Console market not Console sales. Consoles now make less money in game industry than PC games. PC desktop market is falling but on other hand Custom made PCs are rising.
Please stop posting misleading information. As for Console sales… Fastest selling =/= best selling. We’ll see how much all Consoles sell at the end of this gen. Not to mention, traditional Consoles died a long time ago.
New Consoles are just wannabe PCs. It’s sad that after so many decades, Consoles are still playing Ketchup and meanwhile they’ve lost everything that was unique about them. This is coming from someone who started gaming on Consoles and always owned multiple systems, PC included (post 2000).
you cant read the to pc games atrcash shops like league,dota 2,cs go.thats where all you pc revenue comes from e-sport cash shops and why every other game coming out for the pc is a f2p cash shop.go ahead and waste $100 ob sn skins thats is the pc’s revenue.the AAA market still belongs to consoles because thats where devs make money at since every pc gamer says dirt cheap games on pc and steam sales.and picary just look at steams return policy and how its killing indie devs. they will come to consoles real soon.
Yup, we all know it.
Cry like a little b*tch
Ubi, Acti, EA,and wb know where the money is consoles.face people either pirate games or wait till steam sales.they dont make money that way.thats why they will always care about consoles more then pc.
All these companies suck off PC user’s with making these statements. Yet if they really want to suck us off how about they stop with all the exclusive content and timed exclusive BS on consoles.
Newest example… Battlefront playable on Xbox1 1st with Exclusive EA account BS.
And EA gets so much money from sports games which people dont really play on computers.
we play them just connect a 360 and one controller on pc and play them. I play fighters on pc with a friend of mine by ussing wirelesss 360 controllers. It is the same as on consoles but on pc you have better graphics
Yeah sure you can do that but on average the sports game market is dominated by console sales. I know a ton of people who play them on consoles even though they have pc’s. Just casual playing on the couch.
well even with those popular sports games and even those console exclusive sport games, PC is still more profitable according to this chart
Yeah it seems like pc is the single most profitable platform but if you compare just consoles overall to pc it’s 65% to 21%. But because every console is basically completely different just combining all consoles isn’t that simple.
Yes maybe this is because these people prefer to play on the big tv on a couch than on the desk in a small monitor? I think these people have never played on pc before . And because of that they are afraid of it. But for someone like me that i am a pc gamer since 1996 it dosent bother me to play on a smaller screen in the desk it is not a issue because we are used to them. I prefer the much better graphics higher resolution and framereate on pc even with the fact that i have to play on my desk in my room on the 21,5” 1080p monitor instead of my 32”’ 1280x720p tv that i have in the living room.
Yeah that’s the reason. You can plug a PC into a tv but if you are using it on a desk for everything else then it doesnt really work. I agree that people think that playing somewhere else than on a couch will be uncomfortable etc but it isn’t. I prefer a big monitor with great resolution on my comfy chair than a TV which I can’t see anything from. Plus it’s basically impossible to play fps games on a couch.
I agree with evrything you said, That why Vavle will release Steam machines(pc’s at console size equipped with controller) at November. To encourafe console gamers to play on pc without having to deal with pc specific issues like the ones we mentioned.
I just fear they are going to flop completely. They are trying to be almost as cheap as consoles but aren’t and thus have very unimpressive hardware. For a casual couch experience I would take a PS4 over a 450 dollar alienware i3 steamachine any day, even as a pure PC guy. There are more expensive options but they are simply too expensive for being steam boxes and unupgradable.
I am sure in the next ea report we will see a even more high pc sales for ea because at the end of the year pc is coming to living room at console form withc controlelrs(steam machine) and will compete with consoles directly in their land the living room

And they have best prices on Origin 😉 You can buy the new AAA game after month with -33% – -40% cut price. They sometimes better than online Key Shops.
See my image, it’s a chart of ubisoft sales, now it’s viewable in the other conversation. It’s simple, just search here “Ubisoft PC sales”, you’ll find all you need but I bet you haven’t followed DSOG otherwise you wouldn’t be posting that random website.
Yeah, but Steam functions today as mandatory rather than a optional place for publishers.
GOG is good competition not origin.
Indeed. Not a real competition yet.
STEAM FTW!
because no one deletes troll comments here, they come here trolling pc without any consequences but god forbid if you post on their sites, they ban you or at least delete your comments moment after
I don’t even bother posting on Console centric sites. They want to eat you alive there. Some Console gamers are very intelligent and reasonable too. Not all of them are dude bros or fanatics but reasonable comments are buried by fanboys. All you can do is praise PS4.
I just don’t understand how they even find their way here?. I mean I decided to become a regular on here because I was among fellow PC gamers so didn’t have to put up with incessant whining from console only gamers trying to justify their console of choice, I thought I had found a shady spot to get away from ignorant casual gamers like him?. 🙂
well some of dsog links ended up beign posted on sites like n4g, that place is their nest then they follow the links to the site and they start trolling
Seeing how you respond to every message that says ” hey i love my pc” with hate and trollness i’m ending this. Keep talking alone. Oh and If your girlfriend dumped you it isn’t the world’s fault you’re just “not the right guy”
capiche?
It does “work” on PC but we expect better than a locked 30fps and sh*tty frame-rates.
And than they realized that dividing the profits equally between Xbone and PS4 is ridiculous in the argument. One console sold more than the other. So profit between to two isn’t the same.
So to say that PC has overcome consoles in a hole may seem correct, but it is wrong when looking at it by platform numbers…
It’s been established for a long time now that PC Gaming Revenue tops all consoles…COMBINED. Just look it up. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2015-04-22-gaming-will-hit-usd91-5-billion-this-year-newzoo
I hate EA just for the fact that Origin forces Russian-only localization in my country, Ukraine, for most games and there’s almost no legit way to surpass this. Even buying a key separately gives you this region-locked crap. It’s been so for years, also in crappy Uplay, and this shows neither support nor understanding of their customer needs. I can and want to purchase a high-quality product but they do not want to allow this and pirates just get an uncut game free of charge… preposterous.
consoles need to die man,so sick of them.
with holo lens and vr they will be more relevant then ever occlus rift said they would not use consoles for vr but now that they partnered with microsoft as did valve vr that windows 10 on xbox one will have vr its common sense.
But that’s what we want. For Steam to compete with Origin by being able to sell all the games that are available in Origin and may the best man win. If EA makes games Origin-exclusive, then there is no competition.
oh? Nice to know I can buy half life on origin then.
Again, that’s what we want!
LOL!
If Origin were willing to sell non-EA games and all stores were allowed to sell all EA games, then it would be competition.
The two infos don’t necessarily contradict each other. In 2008-2015, PC sales would be smaller because PC sales were smaller in the last gen. But in data showing only 2015, the PC sales are near the top because the PC % has grown so much in the last year.
Poor peasant 😉
So profitable they don’t even need to bother with QA and technical support. Same as Ubisoft. Remember when the PC audience had high standards and wouldn’t take bad ports? Must have been some time in the early 2000s that that changed.
Maybe this will be the Origin of a more PC-concious EA… (see what I did there?).
just reports my link was for 7 years if info from just one company and i bet its allthe same for the other.the pc isnt the best platform just because you say it is..lol
Didn’t say it was the “best platform”, it’s the second most profitable for EA and Ubisoft. You clearly have reading problems.
just like you my friend just like you
Only further proves that most gamers, especially PC gamers are hypocrites and idiots for supporting a sh*t company.
it not confirmed it’s going to be 30fps it’s confirmed it has locked fps 30fps or 60fps didn’t confirmed. well you are commenting about piracy and bad sales for pc in an article about how profitable PC platform is, do you know what profitable means at all ? can you read ? i don’t think so.
25,000,000 ps4’s sold 13,000,000 xbox ones sold.thats more then ps3 and xbox360’s did in their first few years and its still growing.these next gen consoles are going to do way better then last gen.
be a man and dont use no name other wise i think you are a salty little 8 year old..lol
Think what you want, I don’t care.
Your couch is calling.
your 10′ monitor is calling
I have a 45″ HDTV as a monitor right now. Upgrading to a 45″ 4K/60hz TV in a few months to go along with my new 4K/VR gaming PC.
Now… go back to your peasant box and enjoy glorious 900p at 30 frames per second… for the next 5-6 years until your corporate masters decide to sh*t out their next potato box that you’ll shuffle off to a local Gamespot to buy along with the rest of the unshaven unemployables.
ok im man euff to say i messed up with 10′ when i should have said 40″ i forgot to hit the shift key. so sue me. but i can at least say when im wrong im un like you so ill take a typo knowing that i can admit when im wrong unlike some
Also, I don’t have a 10-foot monitor. I think what you were trying to say was that I had a 10-INCH monitor, which you should’ve indicated by typing 10″ and not 10′.
Also, no one makes 10″ monitors. So, wrong on every level again. *shrug*
what do you thik ‘ means next to 10? when you see a 50’ tv ‘ MEANS inch are you dumb?
*sigh* Idiot, YOU initially said “back to your 10′ monitor, attempting to insult me by saying my monitor was 10 INCHES(since apparently PC gamers can’t game on large TVs >_>), but the ” ‘ ” indicates feet, which I’m sure you didn’t realize. I corrected your insult… and you still don’t get it.
Console peasant logic never fails to surprise me. Oh well, back to your failbox.
i dont need to insult you.you are doing that to your self….have fun
*sigh* Keep failing.
i didnt think you what ‘ meant since i said 10′ monitor and you clearly said “10-INCH monitor, which you should’ve indicated by typing 10” and not 10’. maybe you need to look at what i posted so apparently you just made an a*s of your self in front of every one. ps its hand helds,consoles and then pc the link i posted above with that other idiot.about ubisoft 08-15 sales by platform pc is dead last here is the link again and i bet the the same for every AAA dev. ps e-sports is the only thing keeping pc gaming alive.
http://www.statista.com/statistics/269679/breakdown-of-ubisoft-sales-by-platform/
And yet Dragon Age Suckquisition STILL DOESN’T RECOGNIZE MY MOUSES THUMB BUTTONS!
**** EA!
loll you changed it after i pointed it out to you. since you said 45′ hdtv you changed it…lol
I honestly couldn’t care what they game on, I just get fed up with them always hanging around PC articles trying to justify their console making stupid arguments.
YOU are fcking stupid, So is darthdiggler.
Check steam stats and shut up idiot
