Why is VR way on top with 5 billion when the Y axis has it over 180 billion?
Same thing with arcade. There’s no way its revenue is higher than consoles. I’ve seen so many arcade machines disappear over the years.

This right here is why games can in fact still cost 60$

Yeah, it was big news when pac-man made *checks infographic* $48 billion dollars more than Apple’s entire market cap in 1980.

Just because a slick looking infographic says something, doesn’t mean it’s true or correct.

I’m surprised that pc generates $15B more than console.

Now think about the fact that Steam takes 30% of that 45B without making a single game

I wonder how different this would look if the Switch were counted as a handheld?

Feel dumb for saying this; but does PC gaming really make more money than all of consoles?
As a long time PC Gamer, I’ve been under the delusion that we get shafted on ports because there’s less money here.

What? What exactly consists of VR/AR? Like… Pokemon Go or something?

This graph is so wrong… WTH.

This graph makes me miss arcades!

It’s a little shocking to see the position of the launch of Steam in this timeline. It feels far more recent than that, especially in relative terms. That’s just me getting old, I guess.

I wonder how this compares by region.

Is the Nintendo switch not counted as handheld?

For the worse unfortunately.
Dlcs everywhere, bugs everywhere, passes everywhere, incomplete games or unfinished games on release day … This is not what i dreamt for the gaming industry.

What happened in 2018-2019? There’s a big dip in revenue across the board, then it returns around 2020?

One day Mobile games will be $60. Scary.

I so badly wish I could have experienced arcades in the early 80s.

Either this graph is poorly made or it’s trying to tell me that arcade machines make more than consoles… I find that super hard to believe.

No way in hell arcade is outperforming consoles in 2022, and no way VR/AR is higher than mobile.
