Revenue for Steam hit an estimated $1.5 billion in 2014, according to market data firm SuperData, who provided the information to The Know.
In 2014 Valve made $730 million in revenue from its own games, including DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Those three games are estimated to have made more than $400 million combined in revenue last year.
Valve also takes a 30 percent cut from the sale of each game sold on Steam.

Wow that is so much lower than I thought it was. Not counting Valve games that's only 770 million from every other game not made by Valve on Steam for the year. A bunch of publishers made more than Steam. Had no idea publishers like Namco are doing that well.
Valve doesn't release it's sales/revenue figures. These are all estimates made by non Valve people. It could be much higher.
LoL makes Riot half than that. Better get that DOTA 2 to make more money fast.
Just remember that "The Know" themselves said that this isn't 100% concrete since Valve themselves doesn't release their own data so it is "less reliable" and it's all Estimates. Now with that being said, I wonder how that fairs against psn/xbl so someone post that please if you have it.
I don't got a graph for 2014 but I have one for a lot of 2015.

Don't got one for 2014 but for 2015 so far Sony computer Entertainment is at around 10 billion Euros, Xbox 7.30 Billion Euros, Nintendo 4 billion Euros and a lot of publishers are right behind like Activision, EA, Namco at 3.40, 3.40, 2.10 billion Euro respectively.
Thanks! Is that psn/xbl only? And does it also include ps+/xblg?
30%? why do want devolopers to publish their games on steam? on consoles its only 11%
You can't be serious. Stores themselves take some percentage from the games and then you have Sony and maybe even other people taking them. I can guarantee that it's much higher on consoles than on PC.
and they cant give us better deal each week or on big sale... (greddy b**)
