    It has been for a number of years already.

    But you know what kept chugging along, constantly pumping out hits and gaining an ever larger audience? That's right, the PC. Sure, the
    consoles got a lot of coverage in the news, but that's because it had
    major corporations pushing out a lot of marketing copy promoting the platforms. The PC, on the other hand, far more diversified, never had
    the same unified support from its manufacturers promoting it as a
    gaming machine.

    I think that's a lot of the difference, PC's are seen as a bit niche not because only a few people play games on them, they don't, but instead
    consoles are the ones that are pushed in the media. I honestly can't
    remember I saw anything about PC gaming in more mainstream media.
