It amazes me to see the PC market being downplayed like this. It's absolutely exploded in recent years and is suddenly on almost everyone's radar. It's extremely relevant. As an overall market, it's more robust than the console market. Relative to the multi-platform market, obviously it varies, but as an individual platform, it's not all that far behind its Playstation and Xbox counterparts.

Take Far Cry 3. Ubisoft's 2012-13 Q3 Sales Call had the mix as "1mil units on PC, 3.5mil on console." Not bad at all, especially considering that PC releases often perform well over time.

Anyone sleeping on PC sales isn't paying attention. That can easily be seen by the efforts of the big publishers to elbow their way into that space with services like Origin and U-play.
