Would be interesting to know exactly how the revenue between all of these units sold is distributed. Because this sounds like big backlog selling syndrome all around.

PC outselling all three consoles combined? Think they will be happy with their choice - in fact I think Capcom is the model they are following.
It's not that simple without a dollar value attributed.

The PC is constantly releasing older games that have been available for years on consoles and at much cheaper prices.

For example most of the Capcom games on Steam I've bought are older games when they're on sale.

In reality this would be

Xbox 2.33m total vs PlayStation 14m total & Switch 2.57m total

I'm not sure how people think this can work long term for Microsoft. Especially if they do a Steam\Console next-generation. Where would Microsoft generate the money to run the Xbox division if games are selling even less from their store?

They probably playing the long game & releasing a open platform & letting other companies release versions of Xbox while waiting for the courts to force Sony into making PlayStation a open platform.

Now THAT my friend is a scary proposition. Hard to believe a Trump administration would force this. But weirder things have happened.

Think about it: if the next Xbox allows Steam & other store fronts this pretty much leaves PlayStation as the only home console with a walled garden & being that it's the dominant console on the market it wouldn't take long for a group to run to the courts trying to force them to open it up for other store fronts.

Sadly this is where we are headed.
