Hey guys

I have a question that I think your colective minds can answer much better then a google search

I just had a conversation with a girl that said more pc games are sold then console games. She reckons a friend did some research but I think this research is bogus because from what I have seen on VG charts the home console sells far more games a year then the PC. I estimated based on attach ratios that home consoles, including hand held consoles sell over 2billion games a year. I would be game to say maybe 3billion. She said that alot of PC sales are for games online. And I said more people would play games online because any one can jump on a site and play a free flash game when ever they want but she said she was talking about full price games made by real publishers. I didnt think PC digital distribution was big enough to eclipse 3 current gen consoles, current ps2 sales and 2 hand helds if my estimations are correct.

I just wanted to know if any one here knows how much the home console market sells a year compared to how much the pc market sells a year.
And how much the hand held market sells a year. Or by month or week or just anyway to compare the two so I can settle this arguement and find out who is wrong.

Thank you for your time guys I really apreciate your knowledge.
