PC Emerges As Winner of Gaming Hardware Sales

Brace yourselves. Who says Next Gen Consoles are the end of PC Gaming ? If anything should be said about Next Gen Consoles, it should be that they are on par only with mid end computers, making it inevitable that the best graphics will still be on the PC. 

According to a recent study by John Peddie Research, the estimated value of the PC gaming market is at a whopping 21.5 billion dollars. That's over twice the size of Sony and Microsoft's console hardware markets combined !

It is also noted that due to the powerful capabilities of PC hardware, such as playable games at 4K (3840 x 2160) at decent frame rates makes PC gaming a better overall experience, thus explaining why it is currently leading the market. With the addition of mods, games that had decent graphics suddenly had the capability to look like a next gen game, most notably GTA IV's IceEnhancer mod. 

With this news, we Potato Gamers certainly wouldn't want to make the switch to consoles anytime soon. Hopefully, this research serves as the catalyst for the dominance of PC in gaming. We would certainly love that.
