True, but there is a difference between a gaming PC and a PC that is also used to play games. Of that survey, not all those PCs have Steam to play games like Crysis 3, Skyrim, Assassins Creed, etc. Many of those PCs are "office like" PCs that are just enough to play World of Goo, many of the MMOs or The Sims for example. Just like many bought a PS2 to use it as a DVD player, got a PS3 for its BluRay, a Wii just for WiiSports or got a Xbox360 for Kinect, there are many that have Steam on its PCs because that store game they bought years ago (like Half Life 2) demanded it to be installed or for one of those indie game that peopl around them talk about. They aren't really the kind of people that will get a gaming PC or that will buy a console at launch, don't you think? |
You are over-simplyfing stuff. You go from the least demanding gamers ( LOL) --> to more demanding ones (Skyrim) --> to really demanding ones (Crysis 3)
Nothing changes the fact that the people who have the 2500k pc are barely half and not the majority and the people who have pc that runs Crysis 3 are even less.
There is no point in defining the "average" build if your definition of gamer is extremely limited.
