While I agree that PCS do run the games better it is nowhere near a majority of games. There are more games NOT coming to PC than there are coming(personal preference aside of course). And I feel that PC gaming while growing is still NOWHERE near the levels of console gaming and will more than likely never be.
Also PC gamers are a minority while console gamers are a majority so the core focus will always go to console gamers as well. Steam/Ps Plus/XB Live are very different in what they offer and who they offer it too. And while Steam may offer more the audience that it is offered to is to small to compare to the audience that Ps Plus/XB Live is offered too.
So for all the benefits it has compared to console gaming and the console gaming market it is almost irrelevant when looking at then side by side. Not saying that it is at all but compared to consoles and console gamers the PC market is very small.

PC gamers are a minority? Those 75 million active Steam users would like to talk to you. Also, all of the 7 million WoW players and 32 million League of Legends players out there.
PC has many exclusive games not coming to consoles, it's more of a matter of preference than anything, specially since most multiplats also come to PC and those 4 or 5 that aren't coming will probably come in the future, this is a trend among those console multiplats.

Heck that is less than the PS3 alone....yes compared to console gamers they are indeed the minority. That isn't a bad thing that's just the reality of the situation. And I agree there are PC exclusives that were not and did not come to consoles as well i would never count them out but still in comparision to consoles they are still in the minority. I wasn't trying to downplay the PC in anyway just making a comparison that's all.

You're considering that the comparison is between all consoles vs PC gaming, when in reality it shouldn't be. Console gaming isn't one thing only, you have your PS, Microsoft and Nintendo userbase. These userbases don't have the same games and neither the same sales between different genres. The Steam userbase is quite similar in numbers to the PS/MS/Nintendo one, and that's what count for publishers, not even counting other gaming services like GoG, Origin, online games, etc, which contribute a lot to the whole, but can still be counted as separate userbases inside the "PC" label anyway.
I got your point, it's just that I personally can't agree with the comparison you're making, IMO PC gamers aren't in the minority, in fact, I'd say if you count MMOs, this is one of the biggest gaming markets out there.
