Not really, it is a generall view - a good indicator. I do not live in a rich area, nor poor area, i live in a very average area of the UK. Simply put, everyone except from me has a gaming console, but not a gaming pc. everyone. It gives an average, the people i know mostly live around my area, but some are from different city's and some are from south london. But still, they have consoles and not Gaming PC's/ Console sales are very prominent, partiuclarly in the UK. But yes, there may be more gaming PC's sold in Korea and China etc.

My definition of a gaming PC is one specifically designed to play games within the last 2 years at an acceptable level, and not standard dell 950 video accelerator or 7300GS chips - because these PC's will play quite a few games - which is why i think the figure is so high.
