(Actually wasn't there something at the end of the fiscal year, or possibly before that, about PC game revenue being ~$10 billion, compared to video game revenue (all consoles) at ~$10.4 billion)

The PC Game Revenue Worldwide in 2008 was $12.7 Billions. I'm sure Console Game Revenue is above that, but their problem is that PC Games are much more recession-proof than Console Games - PC games are much cheaper, and the MMO and Casual markets will be unaffected by the recession and will continue to grow handsomely. By the end of the year I think we can expect the PC gaming revenue to come closer, or atleast have a bigger growth rate than the Console Industry.

Oh... I must have mistaken some facts somewhere then... I thought those ~10billion figures were USA only.
