PC Gaming To Dominate Market In Next Few Years – Analyst
eSports is going to be another factor in the success of the PC market though the analyst was careful to lay out that the gaming business in general is going to be quite lucrative. According to Gamesindustry.biz, the analyst is saying thatthe gaming market is going to top $100 billion in revenue by the end of 2019. This number will be led in large part by the PC, which will see $36 billion all on its own. If PC gaming does hit that number it would be a 28 percent increase from the $28 billion generated in 2015.
“A major driver of industry growth is not just software but hardware,” said DFC analyst David Cole. “The emergence of eSports and virtual reality is driving consumers to buy high end PC systems to not only play games, but watch others playing games.” It should be noted that this is hardly the first time PC gaming has been said to be dominating the market in recent years. Despite the fact that both the PS4 and the Xbox One are doing well in sales, PC Gaming was still said to be growing faster than both.

$36B out of $100B isn't "dominating the market". Sure it's a huge portion, but it is not dominating. Dominating would be $60B+ out of that $100B.
Bit bias much?

Dinkleberg PCs are and will always be the best in gaming imo. Just all the different things you can do on games. Like mods and such. Its much better than what we're limited to on Consoles. PCs will also always have better technology, well some, than the consoles.
PC may not be the family room type of thing but **** your family if you are actually a gamer pc is the way to go.

All "PC Master Race" Jokes aside,
I feel that the PC should have already been at that top. Not because of the 'Consoles are trash' view, but because you can spend the same amount and get better performance. I love all consoles, they all have flaws. Even PCs. The gaming just feels better, though I won't deny that I spent 1700+ USD on my PC to get that kind of performance.
