It's estimated that Microsoft Flight Simulator will generate $2.6 billion in PC hardware sales over the next three years, according to recent industry analysis. The report comes from Jon Peddie Research, an analytics company that specializes in the games industry's hardware revenue.
The company states that the recent release of Microsoft Flight Simulator is expected to impact the sale of PC builds, processor upgrades, display upgrades, flight sticks and throttles, flight system control units, rudder pedals, simulator pit components such as seats and frames, and VR sales. The research was conducted by separating players into three distinct categories: entry-level, mid-range, and high-end. Those that lean towards the latter are expected to spend significantly more by purchasing specialist equipment aside from simply upgrading their PC hardware.
"Based on the assumption of a sale of 2.27 million units of Flight Simulator 2020 selling over the next three years, [Jon Peddie Research] estimates that in that time frame $2.6 billion will be spent on hardware with the specific intent of improving the game's experience. Much more will be spent over the title's complete sales cycle," says the report.Continue Reading at GameSpot
