Don't believe the Steam hype.  Right now I am looking at SteamSpy and it says total active users is 4.9m. 

Valve changed the privacy settings of all Steam accounts a few weeks ago. Since the data source of SteamSpy is cut off, so the actual stats are useless.

This doesn't surprise me, since Valve has always been very secretive about anything that remotely resembles useful data.  This was especially true before SteamSpy was around.

My guess with Steam is that if you could see the data broken down by country, you'd see a lot more users in places where consoles have little to no presence like Russia.  On the other hand if you looked at North America, Western Europe and Japan you'd see consoles dominate over Steam.
