I didnt say gamers, i said the world but anywho lets go with gamers. PS4+XBO+3DS+Vita+Wii U have sold about 165 million, the most powerful of them has about 30% marketshare, of that 30% how many of them do you think bought it specifically because it was the most powerful? 10-20%? That would mean of the 165 million units of hardware sold this generation, only about 5% made their choice because of power.

PS4 has over 50% of the console market, and will soon be the highest selling of all of current gen systems and by a considerable margin.

And don't underestimate the role that power played in PS4's success; in a survey by Neilson, "better resolution" was cited as the #1 reason among buyers who chose PS4 over Xbox One: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/02/26/reason-for-buying-ps4/

So gamers now becomes specifically console gamers? And what percentage of those PS4 owners did it specifically because of power?

That survey doesnt really quantify anything, how many people were surveyed? what percentage of those people said better resolution? What were the age breakdown of people who were surveyed?

A single survey that doesnt quantify anything doesnt mean much.
