Do PC games outsell console and hand held games?

@ Xellos: this is a direct quote from face book "i'm not talking about 'free', i'm talking about sales of proper games that are also available on the shelves in shops." Thats the metric she is using here, what are your thoughts on that?

Based on that narrow definition, the answer is probably 'no' overall. Certain regions (Germany being the most notable) and certain games targeted specifically at the PC (Dragon Age for example, many RTS's, Valve games etc) will see higher retail and DD sales than individual consoles, but taking everything into account, consoles have higher sales of those sort of games. The PC is still a very profitable platform though for retail games and has a far more diverse and interesting range of games.

Thanks Foamer, thats what I thought. Yeah I love PC gaming and totaly agree that on the broad spectrum of things its as vast as ghost in the shells internet lol, but because she specified a tiny facet of the pc gaming market she was at a loss from the start hey? I told her if she hadnt specified this particual area of the market I would have totlay agree that pc gaming is HUGE!!! Like other have said it intergrates face book and a lot of other little things that we dont generaly think about as gaming but actual are.
