“top pc tittles sell alot more than top console tittles. There is no real surprise there.”

The sales figures of most Mario games, the Pokemon franchise, and Grand Turismo would like to argue otherwise.

In fact… you’ll find that of the best selling games of all times, the PC features very insignificantly in the top 20.

The Sims franchise and World of Warcraft are very much the exception to the rule.

The first Half Life and Starcraft are the other exception to the rule.
