Experts: the Russian players put PC above consoles and smartphones
The question of what is more suitable for gaming — PC, games console or mobile platforms — eternal, and unambiguous answer is no. Some people prefer top graphics personal computers, someone important is the accessibility and convenience of consoles, but for someone “solves” the opportunity to play anytime, anywhere, is only available on mobile devices. The ratio of the number of adherents of the three opinions is very different in different countries. According to recent reports, the U.S. and Japan, for example, is much more like the console. But Russia is ruled by “his master’s platform.”
Company GlobalWebIndex conducted a study which showed that most Russian gamers prefer to play on PC, not consoles or mobile devices. Computers choose 67% of gamers-respondents. This figure is very different from global trends, according to which in developed countries, the adherents of the PC are in the minority. Only two States of the world more than in Russia, the number of players prefer PC — in Turkey and Indonesia, where to play behind the computer like 74% and 70% of gamers respectively.
So why Russian people are more like a PC? GlobalWebIndex experts tried to answer this question, describing the three main reasons for the popularity of the PC in Russia. First, computers are roads only for initial purchase; after that their pretty simple and not expensive to “keep in shape”, buying components. Secondly, in Russia the cost of PC games is much lower than in other countries, while the price of games for consoles are almost equal worldwide. Third, the Russians like the practicality of the computer on which it is possible not only to play but to work.
Despite the relatively strong position as the leader of the PC gaming market in Russia, researchers GlobalWebIndex believe that soon this will change as more and more Russian teenagers make a choice in favor of mobile platforms and games free-to-play. As far as gaming consoles, in Russia the demand for them was moderate, and still is.
