Although we dont see a lot of pc games on shelves, apparently the online market (legitamate one not the pirates) is booming. World of Warcraft have exceeded 8million subscribers which is bigger than many countries :p
A declining market share in comparison to consoles, sure I can see that easily but I find the information stating declining total sales because as the article posted above says, the PC is becoming ironically what it was before - a niche platform.
