I live close to the rustbelt - far far away from the tech "bubble" and I can happily tell you that barring the undergrad kids at the university I have rarely seen a person use his/her laptop for gaming. So no, gamers are not "typical users" in my mind either.

Even I as an ex-gaming, clan membered top 20 ngworldstats unreal tournament player who attended many a LAN party doesn't play a single game on a PC now and doesn't own a graphics card past an integrated Intel one...
- vacri 12y agoAh, the good old "there is no PC gaming anymore" argument, when PC gaming is still vibrant. As sehr links above, there are 75 million active Steam users, and Steam is not console-focused. Yet another No True Scotsman argument. Edit: Numbers from a year ago show that Steam active users (65M) is higher than XBox Live users (48M), and while XBoxes aren't the only console, it's clearly just not true that 'gaming is [only] being done on xboxes these days', no matter how many leaderboards you were on back in the day. http://www.slashgear.com/steam-users-eclipse-xbox-live-psn-still-far-and-away-tops-30303588/ http://www.slashgear.com/steam-users-eclipse-xbox-live-psn-s...
