    I would expect a higher percentage on PC, because casuals play low end indie games and older games on PC, and there are bound to be a lot more of them than hardcore gamers.

      These days I am less inclined to believe casual players would be bothering with gaming on a PC over there phone as much as the survey indicates.

      I personally think it’s the other way around.

      PC players are (from my personal experience) the most dedicated gamers. Where as Console players tend more towards the casual approach to gaming.

      Consoles typically being the cheaper solution and it plugs into peoples already existing ‘media centers.’ PC’s “needs” extra gear and facilities, from monitors, keyboard & mouse, desktop, maybe an extra controller and an OS (if you didn’t buy it pre-made) and such.

      Few casual ‘anythings’ would opt for the PC option to begin with, just because of the set-up requirements alone.

        I never needed to get all those extras to play an MMO or most indie games. Not every game is a system hog.
