Bigger in what way?  Number of people?  Probably already is.  Total revenue?  Maybe.  Sales of big budget retail games?  Probably never.

PCs like the Apple II and Commodore 64 both predate the NES and have hundreds of games.


I typed " Didn't become slightly popular until late 90's- end of 90's." I never said no games didn't exist on any computers predating the 90's

Nintendo and Sega ( the major competitors of gaming) were already making millions in the 1980's long before PC gaming . PC gaming didn't become slightly popular until the late 90's- end of 90's.

You can hardly say Nintendo and Sega were making millions long before PC gaming when PC gaming existed before their respective entries into the home console market.  The master system certainly wasn't significantly bigger than PC gaming, and the Genesis didn't start selling decent numbers until the 90's.  So how was Sega a major competitor in the 80's while according to you PC gaming was irrelevant?
