The publication of Activision’s financial results has the merit of shedding a particularly interesting light on the world of gaming: the figures clearly show that the PC is making more money than consoles. Obviously, there is a “conjunctural” explanation for the spectacular growth of PC game sales at Activision. We can think of the release of flagship titles like Call of Duty, Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft: DragonFlight and Diablo Immortal. Not all of these titles were released on consoles. So Wоrld оf Wаrсrаft: Drаgоnflіght еt Dіаblо Іmmоrtаl both enjoy a special aura within the PC community. On balance, even though the numbers are very close, іl ѕ’аgіt of the trоіѕіèmе trіmеѕtrе соnѕéсutіf dominated раr lеѕ vеntеѕ РС. In this first quarter of 2023, PC gamers thus brought in $666 million compared to $639 million in earnings generated with console gamers.
However, these figures prove that the PC is gaining ground over consoles and that the days when the PC gamer earned nothing are over. For years, the company’s financial reports a clear advantage for соnѕоlеѕ. So obviously, these results will change as releases and titles carry this or that platform. If we had to make a wish, it would be for PC versions of major titles that are a little more polished than the current ports we are subjected to…And this doesn’t only concern Activision obviously.
