Some of you may remember this from earlier today, where Kudo Tsunoda said this:

"Halo did an awesome job of building a first-person shooter exclusively for the console, and now hardly anyone plays first person shooters on the PC anymore. It's all about the console."

Well, PCGamer had something to day to Kudo today.

"At least 266,505 people played an FPS on a PC today"

"According to Steam stats*. And that’s before America gets its game on. Your move, Kudo."

I found this pretty funny.

I was playing halo reach earlier today and the number was 504,000 online for that game. He's right people do play FPS more on the console. It would be interesting to compare FPS PC numbers now and let's say 5 yrs ago.

This is 266,505 people on Steam playing an FPS and doesn't include any players, anywhere, who are not using Steamworks.
