I think the different Windows versions also have a lot to do with that. Very few gamers bought computers (especially laptops) with Windows 8 installed. Windows 10 seems to be more gamer-friendly, especially since the latest Creators Update, which has a “gaming mode”. The same thing happened with Windows XP, which was immensely popular with gamers, followed by the disastrous Vista. In fact, I recall articles stating that Windows Vista almost destroyed the PC gaming market. Fortunately Windows 7 came along an everyone bought computers again. I wish someone can do a correlation chart with Gaming PC sales (and laptops particularly) vs Windows versions.
