This is what a new study seems to have done in a recent survey of 1,001

A study made out of 0.00001% of the world seems accurate.

not

I guess you have to when you don't include a stand and disc drive with a $700 mid gen refresh

Personally, I wouldn't post this where Totoki can see it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

As far as MS knows I live in a cardboard box.

Meanwhile, on PC,

When it comes to a breakdown per gaming platform on average annual salary, PlayStation gamers reign king, while PC gamers are in last place.

• Nintendo - $60,527

I mean, when you are in the majority of households, and come in at $500 - $700, this is an easy statement to make. I would also presume that they are in a majority more low income homes as well.

 

[mckmas8808]

Makes sense as to why Sony is turning Playstation into the Apple of gaming.

 

[BlackTron]

I believe it.

I would also believe it if they told me Apple users make more money than Android/Windows ones on average.

Valuable monetizing opportunities to be had.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Another day, another cherrypicked bullshit statistic on NeoGAF.

 

[Punished Miku]

• PlayStation - $62,276
• Nintendo - $60,527
• Xbox - $60,060
• PC - $55,707

If GHG ever took a lunch break it would probably drop the PS averages below the Xbox numbers.

Pretty obvious.
Xbox has a cheap subscription model, Nintendo is for kids.

Ok. Time for you guys to start listing your professions.

 

[Impotaku]

If this is true why so many of you cry about paying 60 for games? It's like peasant city up on here.

Day one digital for me since the start of the generation. Want to support the industry and the devs you like? Buy digital on day one. To be fair, no kids here and a ridiculous amount of spare money every month, even after mortgage and savings. I’m just rich and want to support devs.

Fuck sales.

 

[Skifi28]

I wish they told my boss.

 

[Draugoth]

Well, only someone with too much money would spend $799 on a Console

 

[rodrigolfp]

That is why they love $70 inferior versions and paid online.

[Mister Wolf]

Well, only someone with too much money would spend $799 on a Console

Or they're spending other's money and have a mountain of debt and terrible credit.

A lot are still on PS4. A few friends my son plays online with are still on PS4 and their family is obviously on low income sadly

One of his friends can't never buy skins or cosmetics and always keeps his vbucks for the next season in fortnite. Sweetest kid ever as well, I'm gonna make sure to send him vbucks for Christmas and his birthday.

ehh, pretty sure those $3k+ gaming PC's cause more debt than consoles.

 

[delishcaek]

 

[StueyDuck]

It's a more expensive console than switch and it's the highest selling console of the two expensive consoles...

The number only makes sense

Haha the funny thing is at my poorest I was a massive PC gamer. I remember having to buy my parts paycheck to paycheck. Buying one\two parts each paycheck. I think the GPU took a month.

 

[El Muerto]

Me with all 3 consoles and a gaming pc.

 

[kiphalfton]

Likely. Still doesn't stop them from parading around like they're actually better off (i.e. acting like assholes).

not

You would be surprised how few samples are needed for a study to be accurate. If they picked those 1001 from a properly designed population the results are probably pretty similar to what they would get if they picked 10,000 or 100,000.

 

[Miles708]

Yup, people with more money than sense are running the show now.
The effects are under the eyes of everyone

This is based on household income. I'm not sure what you're saying regarding pricing.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I'm sorry but this being post on the same day that this was: Microsoft has pulled its $1 Game Pass trial ahead of CoD BO6 release for 14 days

 

[FoxMcChief]

What does it mean if you own all the consoles?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Ofcourse, PCMR is looking for discounted games 24/7 for a reason, just like the poor Xbox fans with their GP at discounted prices, not buying games anymore outside of that.

Us PS folk, we just pay €80 like it's nothing.
Hell, we even pay €40 for flops like Concord.

 

[Fabieter]

Is this the reason they are asking for so much money

 

[Radical_3d]

 

[SweetTooth]

What would this study say about PC folks

You're on the list. I'll get to you

As for the games played, those who booted up EA’s FIFA football franchise tended to earn the most. Here are the top five games with the highest annual salaries:

• FIFA - $70,711
• Candy Crush - $69,903
• Doom - $67,276
• NBA 2K - $67,245
• Madden NFL - $66,426

Considering the people with high salaries also play these I’m not sure it’s anything to boast about.
