I almost wanted to get a copy of the report, as something doesn’t seem totally right. 73% of the “online population” plays games, and 43% of that is people gaming on PC?
I’m curious about how people are actually polled. If only because I’m curious how someone who was only gaming on consoles would be polled? According to the website, they use an online computer survey, which would seem to self-select towards people gaming on a PC.
I would expect a higher percentage on PC, because casuals play low end indie games and older games on PC, and there are bound to be a lot more of them than hardcore gamers.

These days I am less inclined to believe casual players would be bothering with gaming on a PC over their phone as much as the survey indicates.
