You know that almost all of those shitty hd4000 video cards belong to people who are not really representative of the people that argue how powerful the Ps4 and xboxOne consoles are against PC. Do you think the next Crysis or Assassins Creed (on the PC) is targeted to those people with the HD4000 cards or to people with better GPUs? (a tip: just go and check benchmarks and see how badly the HD4000 run any of those games... so you will get an idea that an HD4000 does not represente the idea of "gaming on PC").

The Intel graphics stats are skewed in Intels favor.
For instance Optimus/Enduro only switches over to the Geforce/Radeon GPU when a 3D call is made, Steam statistics doesn't force that switch when it does a survey.
Plus, lets not forget that Steam doesn't count how many GPU's you have either, those with a Dual/Triple/Quad Radeon 5850/5870 (despite being 4-5 years old now) is easily multiples more potent than the consoles.
