because PC is easier to develop I guess, and then port it into console, usually switch and ps.
based on my discussion whenever i attend gamedevs event
 
nothing really special. that 80% of games are going to be eclipsed by the 38% on consoles.

a more interesting question would be the amount of budget these games have.
 
All that mobile development even after they reported low sells of iOS Capcom games.

edit-gamepass went from not making the chart previous years to 13%.

Did anybody copy-edit the list this year?

"Platform being used" instead of "Platform(s) you are developing your current project for," "Linus" instead of "Linux," "114%" when it should be "14%."

How unprofessional.
