You need a PC to use Steam. 8 million Wii U´s sold. I wonder how many active users? Under 1 million? Pretty bad if you ask me. There were as many Steam users online at the same time as there are Wii U´s sold. LOL.

LOL do you relaize everyone needs a pc? how you can you can work, search for work and do other stuff without a PC? There was PC gaming before steam. Steam is a program look how the steam machine flopped when they tried to sell steam as consoles. WiiUs majority of games are singleplayer experiences.

But not every PC needs a discrete graphic card, office PCs and laptops work fine with the GPU on board or the Intel HD integrated in the CPU.

Over 10 million Add-in boards (graphic cards) are sold each quarter, so 40 - 50 million each year: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8446/the-state-of-pc-graphics-sales-q2-2014
