PC gaming sector enjoyed significant revenue growth in 2010, the 'Alliance' reports
It's no surprise that the PC Gaming Alliance, a non-profit organization comprised of companies like AMD, Dell and Epic Games, would have a sunny outlook when it comes to the successes of the PC gaming sector. Fortunately, the group has some promising numbers to back up its glass-half-fullishness: In its third annual "Horizons" report, via Industry Gamers, the PCGA reported that global revenue generated by the PC gaming industry increased 20 percent from 2009 to 2010, netting $16.2 billion for computer-centric publishers, developers and hardware manufacturers last year.
Unsurprisingly, China contributed the largest wad of cash to the global market, spending some $4.8 billion on PC gaming in 2010. More noteworthy is that no regional markets showed revenue decline last year. Really? Because we heard that Switzerland is just chock-full of Xbots and Sony-cronies.
