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.

Yeah that makes sense and I can agree to that. MMOs are indeed VERY huge without a doubt as well. And I know it shouldn't be compared the way I did but I am pretty sure it usually is even if I don't agree with the comparison just like you don't. I don't do any MAJOR gaming on my pC but I love Steam and all the games I can get on it lol.

Where are you getting your stats from? Globally, PC gaming is bigger than console gaming.
