Goukosan 2,257 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I remember Ghostz thought iOS was the biggest earner for Fortnite "Court documents reveal that PlayStation 4 generated 46.8 percent of Fortnite’s total revenues from March 2018 through July 2020, while Xbox One, the second-highest platform, generated 27.5 percent. iOS ranked fifth, with just 7 percent of total revenue. The remaining 18.7 percent would have been split between Android, Nintendo Switch, and PCs." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But mostly I'm kinda just shocked how little the PC version is in the overall scheme of things. I would have thought it was certainly bigger than Xbox alone. Mind you this doesn't necessarily reflect the split between users, but rather how much money PS gamers are willing to part with compared to PC gamers on games like this. Mobile being dead last is a surprise though. Now we know why Epic wants to remove their walled garden so badly. They want to make all the money possible from that sector, since it's vastly smaller than the others. They should tread carefully when it comes to Sony though... you don't want to lose access to half your revenue generator Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really? I thought most of the gamer girl streamer chicks played this shit on PC? I mean, I think the most competitive side of the fanbase is probably certainly on PC... but who the fuck knows.. I had no idea PS alone would generate essentially 50% of the revenue. I thought it would be like 40% mobile, 35% console, and 25% PC. PS gamers really like spending money on cosmetics and DLC shit huh.. Sony's profits are absolutely insane, and it's easy to understand why. DLC/micro transactions are the biggest revenue drivers by far.. which is why active users is the biggest and most accurate measure of success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would have to be @ghostz life matters level of retarded to do that. When Fortnite came to Switch I believe in 2018, that summer all three consoles saw a huge increase in hardware sales driven by Fortnite. That went all the way through the Holidays when each system had Fornite holiday bundles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So there’s really no difference if your game of choice is fortnite tbh. Other games, sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Mobile gaming market is way overrated. Most of the users are just looking for cheap thrills and free games. If the game isn't some gacha model designed to make you spend money, it's most likely not a big earner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
