    Well as much as I welcome the news, I kinda feel compelled to point out that this is horsesht.

    Europeans devs are *mostly* small budget operations...meaning they focus on markets with low entry barriers. Thats kills PS / xbox plans straight away...you need a sizable budget just to get into that game.

    The vast majority of the money is sitting in the US and is focused on consoles. Sad but true.

    Yep, exactly. And don't forget Asia as well.

    I would like to know how big the survey was.

    PC gaming will always be the best there is but we also love console gaming too, next gen is the best competition for PC to grace the console gaming,

    I agree with this sentiment.
