Pc pulled ahead because of its exclusives last year but it wasn’t a blowout. And if you take pc and console exclusives out of the mix, console was at 58% with PC at 42%

All this shows is people who game casually still buy consoles. Almost every game thats available on both platforms beats it out on PC. Plus this only includes Steam sales. Look at what beat PC, Pokemon a Nintendo exclusive and fucken sports games bro.
