I'd love to see revenues from both when you exclude F2P titles and indies.

Indeed. The PC growth is largely due to 2 things, F2P games (especialyl MOBAs) and China. Although those 2 things are actually related

Dont know about that. But if that was only the case then why is full priced games selling so well on steam? just look at GTA5 even after being released at such a late time sold better in the same time frame as the x1 and PS4 versions. MGS5 is selling really well too.

Also it took The Last of Us, a major AAA PS3 exclusive title 15 months to sell 6 million, Diablo 3 sold that in its first week of release. So clearly PC can shift Software other then F2P titles as many would like to believe.

Over 7 million in in 12 months: http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/07/16/the-last-of-us-sales-pass-7-million-with-new-dlc-coming

Sorry i got that from here http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2014/04/28/as-global-pc-game-revenue-surpasses-consoles-how-long-should-console-makers-keep-fighting/ . Where it says "The Last Of Us, a high-profile 15-month old PlayStation 3 exclusive, recently surpassed 6 million copies sold"

Anyway Forbes must of got mixed up someway with that data as The Last of Us released on PS3 on the 14th of June 2013. that Forbes Article was psted on the 28th of april 2014 so thats still less then 12 months of sales.

But lets take something into account going by this http://ie.ign.com/articles/2014/03/14/the-last-of-us-passes-6-million-sales

It still took The Last of US like 9 months to do what Diablo 3 did on PC in its first week.

And Diablo 3 is (according to this) the best selling PC game of all time. And that's what you're using for comparison? Okee dokee.
