Where did you come up with 280 million PC gamers?

I probably need to buy a graphics card if I want to play these games. :(

I got it from PCGA. They actually said it was over 260 millions I think.

 

Found it.  It is actually 260 million PC gamers worldwide (in 2007).  That number actually comes from DFC Intelligence, which is a market research company.

I wonder how many of those people can actually play these new games though.  I would consider myself a PC gamer, and I'm pretty sure my computer would struggle on those new games without an upgrade.

Graphics card attach rate is 10%. I remeber seeing it not much ago. Assuming all of these PCs are used for gaming, try to find out how many PCs have been sold in the last two years and we can get an idea.

On-topic: besides three or four games that I've actually heard about, there is just one thing for me to say: shit sandwich. Going by shio's standards, I could say the next iteration of North American Hunting Extravaganza is actually an upcoming game which all Wii owners are looking foward and will blow everything out of the water.
