Really ? It's more than the number of computers sold in 2013 and 2012.

2013 = 316 millions

2012 = 352.7 millions

2011 = 352.8 millions

People don't buy whole new PCs every year. And that is prebuilt shipments only, a lot of PC gamers build thier own.

And how many gamers keep their old "gamer" pc when they buy a new one ? It's like to take the numbers of the nes + Snes + N64 + WII + GC + Ps1 + Ps2 + Ps3 etc.  How many of these 700 millions PC can run properly a game today ?
