Consoles includes multiple platforms, even handhelds from multiple manufacturers.

The PC is a single platform... And is still a larger platform than any single console.

So whilst collectively consoles are a larger market than the PC, the PC is still a larger market than any single console... And is still not "Small or insignificant". - Anyone who says that about a $35 Billion market is insane.

And yes, the Asian regions account for a big chunk of that, but that doesn't diminish the PC's market reach, because the Asian markets also account for a sizable chunk of the Playstation 4/Switch sales as well. Just ask Microsoft.


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. 

Correct. You did say "small compared to consoles". - But it's still a big market and consoles aren't multiples larger.

Call of Duty Warzone is free to play... And that is dominating paid AAA titles. (Because maybe it is AAA?)
Just because it's Free to play doesn't mean it isn't AAA. That is highly disingenuous.

No developer looks at the 47.9~ billion dollar console market and says "That is all mine" either. - Especially if they don't release on all major platforms. (Which happens more often than not... Poor Switch.)
