That's what YOU see. There are many multi-millions sellers on PC, probably more than any console. Another thing is that PC games CAN'T be taken from retail since most sales are from digital distribution AND many games don't even get their money from traditional venues.

I'm talking about GFWL. GFWL failed terribly, and even recently the boss of GFW was sacked by Microsoft. There is still a chance for GFWL, but when you watch services like Steam and Gamersgate having Year-to-Year increase of 100%, and Impulse already being so great in just a short few months of it's lifetime....
MS already tried to monetize GFWL with subscriptions, but PC gamers will never pay subscriptions for what they already have on other, better services like Steam. Now that it's free, MS is taking ALOT of time to do anything with GFWL and looks like it's in a coma.

PC gaming is cheaper than PS360 gaming. You'll save money from the games since they're much cheaper.
WHAT?! Don't even think of comparing Consoles' variety to PC's. PC CRUSHES consoles in terms of variety.
