It’s also viewed as a bit of a “correction” by Newzoo seeing as 2020 and 2021 were massive years due to the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as the lockdowns which greatly increased demand in the market.
When it comes to the biggest losers for the gaming industry, mobile leads losses with a drop of 6.4% and console gaming is right behind them with a drop of 4.2%. Interestingly, PC gaming did not share this fate and actually increased revenue, albeit very slightly with a gain of 0.5%.
If it was truly corrective, then why didn't PC face the same correction. In fact, PC gaming went up not down. Could it be because the quality of PC gaming is much higher than Mobile and Console?
Well the old stereotype is lots of new console and mobile gamers popped up over the lockdown madness. Whilst PC gamers didn't even have to change their habits.
The other explanation is the PC master race clearly have superior intellect, and thus are probably better positioned financially to still spend on luxuries even as the recession closes in.
Hahaha what copium from them.
