The PC gaming hardware market is worth over $21.5 billion, according to analyst Jon Peddie Research (JPR) in its latest report. The number represents a figure twice as high as that of the console gaming market.
"Committed PC gamers are generally not interested in pure content consumption platforms. They are power users and pay thousands for the ability to play games at very high settings and then do business, video/photo editing, content creation and other tasks with maximum horsepower at their disposal in a desktop ergonomic environment," said a rep for JPR.
"PC gamers with good displays are able to enjoy millions and millions of pixels more than console gamers get on HDTVs. This translates into being able to see more and an overall better gaming experience."
JPR added that the PC gaming hardware market is set to reach a total value of $23.2 billion by 2017.
