From the way you wrote that sentence, I read that you say this article is popping up just because the PS4P has been announced.

But the article didn't pop up just now. It was written well before the PS4P was announced.

I'm on about talking the recent gathering of information to post here since the final PS4P reveal, not recent articles published from last year. Someone a few months back pulled a Cinemablend article to a debate that dated 3 years ago on PC information, the point there was that info was outdated, the info from last year isn't entirely out of date, hence why I was on about the recent posting of said information, not the date of the article itself. 

It may not have been clear why I pulled up some stats about GPU sales, so let me clarify.

Lots of PC folks have gotten upset at the idea that PS4P was made to compete with PC.  But, this thread - if you go and read the OP - has Andy House saying:

“I saw some data that really influenced me,” he explained. “It suggested that there’s a dip mid-console lifecycle where the players who want the very best graphical experience will start to migrate to PC, because that’s obviously where it’s to be had.

Data huh?  What data!  This is VGChartz, show me the data!  Could we see somewhere, a historical trend of PC sales increasing and console decreasing in relation to console launches and mid-generation timing?

I quoted one data point.  The data by the way for 2016 is no better than 2015... PC Discrete GPUs were increasing in sales throughout the last console generation, and they started to decline since 2014 to present.
