How dare you. Fixed (did not spend that money on my 950 XL to see someone on the Internet acting like Windows Phone does not exist in a thread!)

Hah! I should have. I just didn't because windows phone community is still quite respectable. :)

As expected, you don't have the slightest clue, how many PC gamers still game on desktops. Just have a look in the Steam Hardware Survey, where all the used GPUs of the 125 - 200 million accounts get tracked: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/?sort=name

If we kick all the mobile GPUs/APUs out of that list ("AMD/Ati Mobility Series", "Nvidia M-Series", other GPUs with a letter like "M","B", "D", "G" before or after the number) and all the Intel chips, that still leaves 60 - 70% with dedicated graphic cards (usually found in desktop PCs).

So at least 70 million Steam users still game on desktop PCs.

I think it's good for them. I still think desktops are redundant and pretty useless. You need a laptop/tablet for general purpose, right? For eg, when for travelling, moving around, etc.

Well you've countered your own argument within itself there.

How so?

If you're gaming on a PC (this is a gaming forum after all), a desktop will give you more power for your dollar.  Pretty simple.
