PC Gaming Market Up Three Percent in 2009

[Nimbus]

It's gonna go down fast. Thanks to Ubisoft.

Yeah...there new strategy is really going to kick it in the teeth if things keep going the way they do with Ubi

You think Ubisoft are going to still be around in 2011?

By "around", do you mean, on the PC, or, in existence?

I'm not complaining, less people means more dedicated gamers which in turn means a better community.

With the amount of money it's making I suspect Blizzard alone could sustain the PC market.

that's probably because of me. i bought 11 games instead of 10 last year.

Exquisite! Not to mention a growth during a recession...
Still, I'd love to know how the console market compares, especially genre-by-genre

I've never understood the "PC gaming is dying" crowd since it seems like the end result of all the improvements being made to consoles is that their just going to become PCs.

Reports of the PC's demise, it would seem, have been greatly exaggerated.

You're quite awesome.

On topic, Steam should really get around to publishing some sales figures.

I wish they would as well. This here however gives some good indications as to general populations:

If you look at View Steam players by game you can see how many in the last day were in the top75 most popular games. Interesting to see Ubis AC2 has been at or below 2,000 and its a fresh AAA launch
