PC games have longer lifespans than console games so it is hard to compare.
Take WoW for example, now 10 years old and still 7 million active subscriptions.Impossible to replicate on a console because console lifespan is 6-7 years.
PC gaming market is far healthier than 10 years ago.
Digital distribution saved PC gaming, console gaming will struggle with that transition.Will a 6-7 year old kid be able to work it out? Next generation we will see the last of the physical console games IMO.


Reality is different mate.

Average video game fan is 35 years old

The typical video game player is 35, has one child and earns more than £23,000 a year, contrary to stereotypes of teenage game addicts.

 

The average UK video game fan doesn't actually look like this.

Gamers show dedication to their console, with more than three quarters saying that they will never stop loving video games. They will also typically spend around four hours queueing for a new game at a midnight store opening once a year.
