I think the point is that *only* 14% of game sales are PC games. The vast majority of games are played on consoles. So in fact the importance of PC gaming is lessening, which is good for Linux. Only in the short term. The decline of PC gaming is very bad for the PC, and consequently it is very bad for Linux too. There may soon come a time where we will have to purchase extremely expensive "development workstations", simply because there will be no market for PCs. All the bases will be covered by smart phones and game consoles. Unfortunately those devices are static and proprietary.
