Is outsell the right criterion? These days the big money in PC gaming is in
MMRPG's which is a subscription
model rather than sales based. I'm guessing that if you talked about actual
revenues due to gaming instead of unit
sales PC Gaming comes out ahead (not sure, but if you consider how huge
MMRPGs are these days, especially in
countries like Korea...).
