Is PC gaming much more popular than console gaming in Russia?

Yes. And pirating games on PC too. )))
Most popular games amongst kids now are Minecraft and Dota2/Lol. Only game I play on a PC - is Diablo 3, love to play it with my wife ))
X360 was quite popular in Russia 'cause its easy to hack. When PS3 got hacked - it became popular too. 
Nintendo is having a hard times here... Which is sad, cause first popular gaming console in Russia (and mine, too!) was Dendy (a chinese NES clone) with a cheap pirate chinese cartridges... )))

How did Nintendo perform during the 7th gen in Russia? What about the 3DS? I'm asking because the Wii and the DS were selling like hot cakes and the 3DS is kinda popular here in Romania!

They got a wrong partner in Russia. Prices was crazy (some period of time Wii in shops was more expensive than X360). Wii and DS was even hard to find in shops, and no games for them too. Then they established Nintendo of Russia. Things starting move to better, but very slow. 
NoR made a great feature called Nintendo Guardians. Its a fan of NIntendo, one to a big city. They gather NIntendo fans once per week in some pizza house/Burgerking/etc for streetpassing and playing games together. Some of food and drinks on the meeting is payed by Nintendo. Thats a best way to surely get some streetpasses for me! )))
