>Honestly, gaming "on the desktop" is a shrinking market.

So we're doing that thing where we just make shit up now about the largest gaming market in the world?

Consoles are a primarily American/Japanese phenomenon with some other western countries participating. PC gaming is how the entire world games and it's growing faster than ever.

As much as I hate it (I'm a PC gamer..hate not having a mouse), the consoles have taken a big chunk out of the PC gaming market. That's just fact, whether you or like it.

The "entire world" doesn't really matter. If some dude in Somalia has money to buy a PC game, he probably has money to buy a console.

Well, not really. I'm some dude in Brazil. It's cheaper to play games on PC, because consoles are very expensive here.

Consoles are not always distributed everywhere, even if you have the money.
