@Shio "Jon Peddie Research resulted a report about the graphics chip market in the fourth quarter of 2008. For the first time since 2000 sales of GPUs have dropped from Q3 to Q4, shipments sank 35 percent from 111.26 million units to 72.35 million. Shipments were down 28 percent year-over-year, in the same period a year ago a total of 100.5 million GPUs shipped. "

You need GPUs to run most games and browsers aren't solely a PC domain anymore.
"If you want to sell the games in the U.S. and other parts of Europe, it makes a lot of sense to have it on consoles. If you look at series that started out on PC, like Call of Duty, they now do their primary business on consoles in the U.S."
