Microsoft Flight Simulator could encourage a huge increase in spending on PC due to its appeal to affluent gamers who love to buy next hardware.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is one of the games that could push people to spend even more money upgrading their PC rigs. Market-intelligence firm Jon Peddie Research claims that the kinds of people who are into simulation-style games are also among the most active and highest-spending players on PC. And that’s why the researchers at Jon Peddie are predicting Microsoft Flight Simulator fans will spend $2.6 billion over the next three years to improve their gaming experience with hardware. Peddie bases that outlook on the assumption the excellent Flight Simulator will surpass 2.27 million copies sold. And the hardware includes components like video cards and CPU, but it also includes flight sticks, rudder pedals, VR headsets, authentic-style pilot chairs, and displays. The idea here is that Flight Simulator audience has money to spend, and they love the process of improving their setup.
