Outer World game design are held back by PS4 and Xbox One , another prove that Next gen will be held back by current gen if games are made for cross gen

I never said "small or insignificant" I said smaller than consoles. 

$35b is definetly a lot. But like the graphs showed over half of that is free to play and/or e sports titles. If we are talking big budget AAA games each individual console sells more than pc. Maybe not switch. 

Not dissing Asia either (goverment sucks though). Just saying that they are way more inclined into free to play and/e sports. Over half of pc gaming is asia and 80-90% of that is thouse types of games. Just saying devs take that into account. They don't just see that $35B. 

But Pem wasn't putting focus on just AAA games, he was putting focus on the entire side of the PC industry. You were the only one putting focus on just the AAA games market, which as we all know isn't the entirety of the games industry, or the market itself, so his point still stands.

There's nothing wrong with e-sports or F2P titles, but at the same time, AAA games aren't somehow "more important", than the former either. A lot of devs see that money, hence why that market is very profitable, as well as why we see devs constantly making new games on PC first, via consumer supported projects, publisher funded ones, or devs just making games out of their own pocket. Devs absolutely see the money in the PC market, they wouldn't be making games on and for that platform if it wasn't profitable.

I've seen this weird kind of focus before from console players, and I'm honestly not sure if it's an argument born from jealousy, or some kind of thought process, to self validate seeing PC as some inferior platform, be it in sales or exclusives (which they excel at for both anyway, as Pem will likely tell you). I've seen that focus point being used for years, and it gets debunked every time (Pem will be sure of it in this thread, so I'd cut the losses on that thought process while you can, or get prepped for a few days worth of arguing a focus point, that's easily debunkable).
