PC Gaming's Decade-Long Reign: Outperforming Consoles by a Mile

A recent Epyllion report reveals PC gaming's continued dominance over the last decade. The report highlights that since 2011, PC gaming content spending has surpassed console revenue by over 65%, totaling over $30 billion (excluding hardware). This success is attributed to factors like a vast game library, near-full backward compatibility, multitasking capabilities, lower entry costs, and better esports suitability. Even with an $18 billion increase in console spending in 2024 compared to 2011, PC gaming's content spending remains significantly higher.
