It makes one wonder why computers continue to sell less and less

People would probably be shocked to learn that PC games seem to have lost their ability to influence sales of personal computers.

Either that, or all other factors have ganged up on them and completely counterbalanced their influence.

The PC Gaming Alliance (PCGA) has released two reports which show that the PC gaming market has grown despite the effects of tablets, smartphones and consoles.

Said reports are exclusive to PCGA members, but have found their way to the Internet anyway. They cover the 2012-2016 period and say what specific markets and sales venues will be the most profitable in the mid-term.

The Chinese market is proving to be a big reason for all this.

If we were to guess, online gaming and things like AMD Sky are a cause for the discrepancy between the PC Gaming market and the PC market.
