Steams up to over 25M *ACTIVE* users which is probably along the same level as the PS3 if you assume that some of the PS3s out there are inactive.

There's also plenty of people who still don't use Steam too.

That is without a doubt the case. Someone has to be eating up the 60M+ discrete GPUs every year.

THAT DEFINITELY CAN'T BE MORE THAN 20MILLION! THOSE PC FANBOYS ARE ALWAYS SPENDING MONEY ON 4 VIDEO CARDS!!! TOO EXPENSIVE FOR M!111

Sorry thats 81M units of discrete GPUs in the one year in 2008 when the entire year was down YOY by about 15-20% so the typical market is around 100M units.

The PS3/Xbox 360 and Wii combined make up around half that number.

Tease.
