Lol! Your math is a little off. If by .04% you mean 4%, then you would be correct. That's a pretty large percentage I would say.

You are correct, but it's actually less than 4% (and that's assuming every sale is a unique customer).  

I guess we have different opinions of what 'a pretty large percentage' is.    

Um...what? You were off by a factor of 100. I don't think you should be the one disputing numbers. And it MIGHT be barely less than 4%. And 4% of the entire human race is large. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. At least I didn't think it was .04%...

OK?  You were the one disputing numbers (my numbers) and you were correct (no dispute at all from me).  That doesn't magically make 4% a large percentage of something.  4% of the entire human race is a large number (no argument), but it's still a small percentage.  If we're talking about relevance to the human race (which we were) then 4% is not 'a pretty large percentage'.  4% will never be a large percentage of anything, regardless of how large the total is.  That is how percentages work after all.  

It's really not that important if it's 99.6%+ or 96%+ humans on this planet not caring about console gaming - the outcome is still the same.  Gaming is not relevant to most human beings.  That was the point being made and it's accurate.
