" Last 3 years" it's plateaued. In fact it looks to have declined in 2024 with console.
It was in 20-22 that it was insane.

by the smallest amount while consoles have seen a bigger drop that they may recover from. This could very well be a trend we are seeing here for years to come.
Look at the declines in console sales this year. Seems like its almost 50 percent down for playstation vs last year worldwide. Could be the start of the decline of console gaming.

A certain green brand is dying, I think that's what contributed to consoles drop.
Also for PS, its only normal to have big drops when you shattered records the prior year

Well it looks like the majority of Xbox users are.migrating to pc which will only speed up the decline for console as more people are introduced to pc gaming and start spreading word of mouth. Helping friends make decisions etc. It's going to be an interesting few years.

95% of Capcom sales this quarter came from back catalog sales, abysmal share for new games.
And PC was always stronger on long tail sales, one of the reasons Sony put it's game on PC.

More games go through steam, especially gaas (and gaas inflate numbers heavily). These tended to distribute themselves off Steam for a long time.steam concurrency set a new record last month

It doesn't matter. PC gamers will buy GTA6 in 2027 on PC launch day by the millions.
Ok? What's that got to do with capcom's PC sales being flat the last 3 years? f2p crap is on the rise on steam. steam released overload or whatever that GaaS game is called. It's the most played game on steam last month too.steam concurrency set a new record last month

i'm not worried about the longterm health of rockstar and 2k. but the big pop of launch sales will be 30-50% lower than it would've been with a PC version.

RE4 and SF6 were bigger sellers in 2023 than Dragon's Dogma 2 in 2024.

Yeah, but you assume the PC version would run well and be ready at the same time as a console launch.
The point of this topic isn’t to talk about facts.
