No, I'm talking about the games that used to be popular on PCs, but now the X-box and 
Nintendo and such have taken over much of the market.

When if comes to PCs, many times the "gaming systems" are more powerful than most other 
uses.  Much of this comes from the bleeding edge graphics that all the kiddies seem to 
have to have.  Even systems with multiple graphics cards.

But with an attitude such as "who would ever want a computer in their home", imagining "a 
computer in their home to play games" just wasn't going to happen.

I don't have any stats, but I've got to feel that games are a large part of the PC market.
