Gaming PC Hardware Sales Slow Down - SteelCrysis - 02-13-2019

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gaming-notebook-market-growth-slow-2019,38594.html
Quote:A DigiTimes report today indicates that even though the gaming notebook market is expected to grow in 2019, it won't grow at as quick a rate as before. Meanwhile, gaming motherboards and graphics cards will stay flat for the year, and gaming desktops will "hardly grow significantly," according to the report.

DigiTimes cited "industry sources" and said the gaming notebook market is projected to grow 10 percent throughout 2019. In any other category that would be considered a success, especially with so many other device types declining in sales, but that's a huge drop from the 20 percent annual growth the market has enjoyed for the last 6-7 years, the publication's sources said.

When you consider all of those factors, a 50 percent drop in growth for the gaming laptop segment, mild growth for gaming desktops and flat growth for gaming motherboards and graphics cards seem more like a small miracle than a disaster.

With Video cards up to $700 it's no wonder.
