[QUOTE="Stonin"] 8. So based only on the current subscribers and the revenue generated since the PS3 launched (20 months worth just to be fair) we get 9,000,000 x (12.99 + 25) x 20 = $6838,200,000
CONCLUSION
A single PC game has generated $6838,200,000 in the same time period as the entire PS3 library has generated $4500,000,000.
Unless I have my math wrong (this is a distinct possibility), this proves beyond doubt that PC gaming is almost dead :P.

You're saying 9 million people buy and subscibe to WOW every month. You have to do 9,000,000 x 25 = 225,000,000 for the total revenue from initial sales, then add 12.99 x 20 x 9,000,000 = 2338,200,000 for 20 months subscirption. So the total is $2563,200,000 for WOW.
Of course, this means it is actually a lot less than the $4500,000,000 games revenue for the PS3 that you calculated. Which is to be expected considering you're calculating 15 million PS3 owners all buying 6 games. But still, considering WOW is all from a single game, the developers must be getting a huge amount of money compared to any developers on the PS3.
:lol: People just skip over this. 9million people buying the same game every month :lol:
