I first spotted this story on CNET and it's starting to make the Internet rounds.
It appears that by the NPD Group numbers PC sales have increased the first two months of 2007 over the same time period last year.
Anita Frazier, an industry analyst for the NPD Group, a market research firm, noted that in the first two months of 2007, domestic retail sales of PC games reached $203 million, a 48 percent increase over the $136.8 million in the period a year earlier. She noted that these figures do not include revenue generated by PC game sales online, or online subscriptions to play PC games.
I really think this is good news for us, "PC" gamers. Hopefully companies like Activision will realize they should support the PC side of their business. Let's not forget their, console only, release of CoD3. Hopefully this news has already reached these cooperation's bean counters.
Here's looking at 2007 and being a PC gamer.
