[citation][nom]tayb[/nom]Uh, some simple arithmetic makes you sound like a moron. World of Warcraft cost $15 a month, not $20, and most people pay $10-$13 because they buy 6 month or longer passes. I'll be extra nice and assume that every one of the 11 million subscribers pays the max $15 a month and do some simple math. Plus the fact that WoW is a world of it's own and citing revenue from Wow isn't really indicative of the overall PC market. I'll let you do it anyways though just to prove how feeble your statement really is. ($15/month * 12 months) * $11,000,000(active subscribers) = $2 billion a year. Not sure how you came up with $24 billion. Okay, so let's revise my numbers. $700 million retail sales + $2 billion from WoW + $2 billion from other digital sales (extremely generous) = $4.7 billion. $21.3 billion > $4.7 billion. Try some simple math before you make yourself look like a humongous moron.[/citation]
Cool your jets asswipe. I mistyped and left out the decimal point, and I can't edit the post. But that doesn't matter as you have completely missed the point anyways. Your source of $21 Billion includes hardware and games and accessories sales. If you actually multiply the sale price of the top ten 2008 games by the number of units (I was extremely generous and assumed each of those games were $100...total sales for the games only of the top ten games for PS3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii is roughly 3.6 Billion.
The PC has gotten roughly 4.7 Billion (as we already determined) in sales NOT including non-mmo digital sales.
Bite me.
