PC the highest-selling hardware platform in 2009
Take that Sony and Nintendo - not so bad for Microsoft
The latest figures from the PC Gaming alliance the PC had the highest hardware sales figures of 2009.
The report shows that gaming-ready PC hardware shipped twice as many units as the Wii, PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 combined.
The report also showed that PC hardware with a discrete GPU (that excludes any desktop, netbook or laptop with an integrated graphics chipset) totalled around 54.6 billion USD.
The PC Gaming Alliance's Matt Ployhar: "One of the biggest trends I'm seeing in the 2009 Horizon's hardware report indicates a strong demand for more capable mobile based systems by PC Gamers. PC Gamers are playing a central role in fueling healthier margins, and driving innovation in this space worldwide."
