As far as videogames in 2007... $18.85 BILLION was made in North America alone and $910 MILLION was from PC games. ( around 14% )

I'd say PC is niche.


What is the point in adding Wii+PS2+PS3+360+DS+PSP+other against PC? That's just stupid. Especially in US


Regardless, the sales numbers do not lie. 1 billion vs. 18 billions


Actually, the numbers do lie.  They lie quite a bit.  Reasons the numbers lie:

1) The numbers are including money made on hardware, which invalidates them completely.  

2) The numbers don't include sales on digital distribution services like Steam or EA Link, which actually make up the majority of the sales of many PC games these days (See: The Orange Box).  Again, this invalidates them completely.

3) The numbers are for America, which is the smallest major PC gaming market.  Europe and Korea make up the majority of the PC market.  Hell, in Germany, Crysis outsold Super Mario Galaxy.
