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.

LOL, i would say PCGAMER owned itself there.  266K definitely qualifies as hardly anyone.

This has been explained in the OP. Notice how this is ONLY the number of people playing an FPS on Steam at that exact moment.

It includes nobody playing an FPS at that moment who isn't running it off of Steamworks.
