I honestly believe gaming PCs are becoming niche market

rom the fact that user surveys of hardware show that their rigs are worse than current gen consoles. I wouldn't call those gaming PCs.

So any hardware less than a "current gen console" (PS4 + XBO) ain't no gaming hardware anymore? A PC with a Core2Quad and a GTX 470 or a GTX 560 or GTX 650 or a similar performing AMD-card was a gaming PC until early November, but lost its gaming status a few days after that?    

With that logic, PS3, 360, Wii U, and Wii aren't no "gaming consoles" anymore, too.

I built my PC in 2009/2010. It's no longer up to the standards of gaming PCs. It can handle most things on low/medium settings, but I still wouldn't consider it a gaming PC or myself a big PC gamer.

It would help if you posted your specs. But even then, their are plenty of PCs in that survey that are more powerful than Wii U/PS3/360 that are capable of playing most AAA multi-plats.

Furthermore, even if that 90% figure is true, that's still more gaming PCs (that are more powerful than XOnes) than there are XOne consoles in consumers hands. That figure will only grow as the gen goes on.
