Despite the doom n' gloom reports painting PC gaming as a dying genre, market research firm JPR claims that the PC gaming market is vastly larger than that of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii combined.
A recent study conducted by the firm reports that sales of "gaming PCs" over the last three years have outdistanced gaming consoles by a huge margin: 196 million PCs sold versus 74.7 PS3s, Xbox 360s and Wiis.
Additionally, the report believes that the PC gaming market will top $34 billion by 2012.
Notably absent from the report is any data on sales of handheld systems -- a sector of gaming that traditionally tops standard consoles by virtue of price alone -- or any examination of how many "gaming PC" buyers are actually using those computers to play games.
