What is called "console" gaming died last gen with Wii and ps3. "Consoles" are now sff walled-garden PCs. MS caused the convergence with the Xbox 360 and missed their own train with the X1.

PC is always setting the trends. Indie and F2P now embraced by consoles. The future being crowd-funded and user-created games.

It's normally console gamers who say "This don't count , that don't count" . That's why I said then casual crap on consoles also doesn't count . If you count everything then PC makes more revenue than all consoles combined . FACT . Even if you remove F2P scene (which is not casual , and in fact games like DOTA 2 are biggest E-Sports games out there) , then still PC makes more money than each individual console (if not all).

Yet another comment about "Don't count this , don't count that and you lose" . If that's how you wanna play this then don't count revenue of casual games on consoles like GTA , FIFA , COD , Madden etc and now compare it to PC . Things aren't looking good anymore are they .? Let alone comparing one console against PC .

PC is generating more revenue than consoles even when you combine more than 5 platforms . FIVE PLATFORMS (with billions of dollars generated through COD , FIFA , Madden , PSN , XBL etc etc etc) . PC gaming community is currently the biggest one out there , something that was predicted by nVIDIA back in 2011 when lot of people said "they are just but*hurt" .

@mr_huggles_dog: Ok i am fed up with your nonsense.

Do you know where console revenue is coming from? Gta cod and fifa, not the last of us. There are a select few franchsies that make money the rest DONT. They just DONT infact yoshida has said it only 4/10 sony exlusives are sucessfull.

Hi Cranler

1. Why would we take those out? This isn't a hypothetical discussion. PC is first, factually.

2. Even without China, PC is still ahead of each individual console in sales. You need to combine all 6 to stand a chance. Winning.

@blackace: no single console version of mine craft has outsold the pc version ......at least not yet,I think you should check your facts and get back to us

Sorry to burst your bubble Cranler, but f2p, mmo, and moba all count. They also get pretty damn hardcore, with bigger competitive scenes and higher skill caps than any console title.

At the most you can only take out the 10% casual titles, which leaves PC still far ahead of any console.

Wait, why is this important?

Doesn't matter who's playing what or where they live or what their financial situation is... None of that matters.

Or do you really think we should only count gamers from developed countries?

- Console gamers when PC has better graphics than their games: "Bu bu but graphics don't matter, only gameplay matters"

- Console gamers when PC makes WAY more money than consoles with games that have amazing gameplay : "Bu bu but those games have bad graphics so they don't count"

It's always funny how you guys decide what counts and what doesn't.

Uhh...why not? These are some of the absolute most competitive skill based games on the planet, making console titles seem like jokes in comparison: and many of them score AAA/AA....what am I missing here?

I thought we were over this whole "doesn't count" when idiots stopped doing it for RTS and Sim games last gen.....

I'd wager no 1 console alone beats PC's revenue if you take out facebook games. It's F2P games with higher skill requirement than any console title that help gives it high revenue btw.

What faction are you btw? You seem to flip-flop some kind of cow and lemming to try and beat PC, and you still lose. Might have to be part sheep too if you wanna stand a chance.
