Except PC is nowwhere near a niche market. Do you realise how many people use Steam now? Your statement is ignorant beyond belief. 

I have an active steam account. From 10 years ago. That I havent used since. Id like to know exactly how they came up with that number. Throwaway accounts ect.

Also, calling someones post ignorant because they have a different opinion is pretty dense, and not very good communication skills.

I didn't call him ignorant, I called his statement ignorant. A very big difference. And his statement was very ignorant.

And I'm talking about current Steam users. This summer, there were over 8 million people online simultaneously on Steam. And that's only the people that were logged in at that moment. An entire one million over the last record, which was last winter. PC gaming is growing faster than ever, and is not a niche market.
