As expected this is just a numbers spin. The figures aren't very impressive at all. The top 20 doesn't even come close to 2 million players.

for a free program, nintendo actually managed to want people spending 300+ bucks to play WiiU games. So yeah its somewhat comperable in what is more popular 


You need a PC to use Steam. 8 million Wii U´s sold. I wonder how many active users? Under 1 million? Pretty bad if you ask me. There were as many Steam users online at the same time as there are Wii U´s sold. LOL.

So? Steam has thousands of games. Those are just the Top 20. I wonder how many people does console have at top 20 games? Oh wait, there are no 20 games at consoles.

Valve actually managed to want over 100 million people spending 300 - 3000 bucks to play Steam games. ;)

LOL do you relaize everyone needs a pc? how you can you can work, search for work and do other stuff without a PC? There was PC gaming before steam. Steam is a program look how the steam machine flopped when they tried to sell steam as consoles. WiiUs majority of games are singleplayer experiences.

That doesn´t make any sense? How does the fact that you can work and search things with PC cange anything?

But not every PC needs a discrete graphic card, office PCs and laptops work fine with the GPU on board or the Intel HD integrated in the CPU.

Over 10 million Add-in boards (graphic cards) are sold each quarter, so 40 - 50 million each year: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8446/the-state-of-pc-graphics-sales-q2-2014
