Yes, because he gets private stats on what "most PC gamers" are playing on. Funny how you dimiss Steam as being not representative of PC gamers, but then accept Rein's comment on face value.

Please. Laptop sales outnumber desktop sales ridiculously.

I don't think anyone with a brain would argue that far more people play games on laptops than on desktops.

What you need to argue about that is whether those people count. They're people playing Farmville or Yahoo Sudoku or Minesweeper. Those casual users just don't matter when discussing a hardcore game. They'll never play XCOM or even Gears of War.

So yeah, there's a ton of money to make off of them, but don't do what Nintendo did and assume you can throw them the same stuff you throw hardcore gamers and make anyone happy.
