Does it really honestly matter? I can't see that it does. The article seems to want to separate handhelds from consoles, so why not separate PCs from consoles too? Or perhaps we should stop pigeonholing everything into convenient categories and accept that it doesn't really matter how you classify PC, console and handheld game sales. PCs cost a lot more than consoles, but can be upgraded and thus tend to stick around in peoples' households. They also serve as a lot more than gaming rigs. And most importantly, they're a fixture in the non-gaming side of the world market.
PC game sales are not impacted in the least by console game sales, because there's honestly not a lot of overlap between the crowds. Go ahead and ask yourself: how many of the millions of console gamers out there do you suppose are also PC gamers? While it's not easy to quantify them, internet-connected ones, to be certain, are few in number. And also, what are the odds of PC gaming ever dying out? Hint: not much. Computers would have to drop out of use entirely first, and that's about as likely as Nintendo calling it quits with video games and moving into the home improvement industry.
