To claim that they "actively decided" seems to be a stretch. Gathering this data would be difficult at this time. Perhaps you could try polling a large number of people who play games and ask about their views at different times and so on. I'm certainly no expert on statistics and surveys but I think such data seeking for retroactive view information would be hard to generate in a reliable way.

If you simply read that as I do, though, it can be readily agreed with. I view it as a sloppy way of phrasing "the pc gaming market has been steadily shrinking while the console gaming market has been more rapidly growing." This can be borne out with relatively easy-to-acquire sales figures. I leave the acquisition of such figures as an exercise to the doubting reader.
