I would say Esports is similar to billiards/bowling in terms of viewership, and the optimistic case would be MMA/UFC. I think the OP confused Wedbush Morgan with JP Morgan, cas then it would make more sense. | ||

To say Esports is comparable to college basketball, well, it seems laughable. Even the WNBA seems out of our league(lol pun). The only possible way these are comparable is by taking our largest events and comparing them to their regular season. I would be very surprised if the WNBA finals was getting less then a couple million viewers, and that's far beyond what any esport events gets, let alone comparing it to March Madness. A better comparison is women's collehge basketball imo. | ||

Maybe reason why some companys try so hard atm to get in on it. Esport will be a competitor for other "real life" sports, its only a matter of time. The younger generation now who watch and like esports will still do so when they get 30 and 40 and 50. Thoose people wont suddenly turn to watching tennis or golf or soccer for 100% while never watching esports annymore. So its only a matter of time till the older generation, (thoose who never watch esports) has been replaced by the now still young generation who does like esports. Only thing that can threaten esports growth if is the youth will suddenly stop liking video games and start liking something else wich is extremely unlikely atm and for the next 10 years. Computer games have gotten alot less nerdy in the past 10 years. Wow and latest generation consoles changed so much. Gaming became a thing for the whole family. Games are alot more mainstream now and socially accepted, its almost like a "normal" sports, Not quiet but its coming closer every day. just look at the barcraft examples. instead of going to pub with friends to watch a championsleague final, people go to see starcraft. GO GO Esports  | ||

Maybe they best for the business since they can sell a new model every 1-2 year and still sell pc,s as well,but they terrible for gaming, well at least i personally hate them. How can one even game without a keyboard ?:s Though maybe hes even right about this unfortunatly, consoles seem to be popular in the biggest and most important market (the usa) and they probably apeal more to the casual gamer or people who only game verry little then pc games do. | ||
