Most people on PCs are interested in graphics, otherwise what's the use. Even on steam reviews are given on graphics and games are called console ports if they only allow you to change the resolution. One such game is South park: The stick of truth which is criticised for being 30fps and only allowing you to change the resolution. Nobody mentioned the fact that it is extremely optimized and controls well.

Ever heard of the term "vocal minority"? And there are many other advantages in PC gaming besides graphics and power.


Yes, but let me just tell you that most actually do care about graphics and if steam is a vocal minority than PC gaming doesn't exist since physical sales are practical non-existant.

What other advantages? PC gaming is rarely cheaper than console gaming. Yeah you can do more with a gaming PC but you can also do the same stuff with a cheap Netbook and who doesn't have at least one PC already these days.

Most care about graphics, but not to the extent that they have to upgrade if a game doesn't run at 1080p with 60fps on Ultra.

Obviously that's just Steam... but it shows that 20% of them use an Intel GPU (which are all integrated graphics)... almost 65% game at less than 1080p... Hell 12% still don't have more than 2GB of RAM (it's been a few years since I have seen a prebuilt with less than 4GB except on a notebook).

PC gaming is about choice and customisation, yes there are some who have big triple monitor set-ups and buy the top new graphics cards every year or two, but there are also people like me, gaming on a relatively basic laptop with graphics on medium if not low, and at 1366*768 and no idea what FPS I am getting. Then there is also a spread of people inbetween.
