well i can confirm the concurrent no. for ps4 is 5m, x1 is 3m, x360 is 20m and ps3 is 18m. this confirms that console are superior to pc/steam. enough said
So basically you are confirming that you don't know what concurrent means and you are too stupid to look it up before you posted.
It means users online at the SAME TIME. Your numbers are shit.
In before some console peasant that makes some stupid "There are already 7 million PS4s LOL PS4 has as many users as pc gamers!" comparison.
PS 4 is one platform while steam supports 3 platforms.
no, they support 3 operating systems on one categorised device. stop trying to peg this s*it, it fails every time. its not a new concept on this forum, and it never holds weight. as I said before, let me know when your Xbox 1 can run PSN and vice versa, then you have a case, otherwise... stop wasting our time.

Ummm..... we purchase a license and a CD Key, in steams case as part of the agreement if hosting it ever becomes an issue the user has the right to make physical copies and the key is released to them. so please... stop talking like you have a clue what you are talking about.
Not that it will ever be a problem. hell.. I'd rather own a digital license than buy a game, accidently damage the disc... and OH LOOK, you have NO RIGHTS TO ANOTHER ONE. even though, the irony that when you purchase a physical game, you are still only purchasing one license to it... and that license is stuck to that one physical copy.
oh we want to make the pointless quotes now do we? alright lets play.
The Macintosh (/ˈmækɨntɒʃ/mak-in-tosh), or Mac, is a line of personal computers (PCs) designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It was initially targeted mainly at the home, education, and creative professional markets. Since the introduction of the Macintosh, the computer has seen significant evolution, now making it one of the most powerful general purpose computers on the market. It now targets the business, science, and law markets as well.
oh look.....
and even then, I can run it on my ONE PC. again, just stop. you cant run a ps4 on your xbox 1. its not the same thing. its but 1 component that is interchangeable.
The ability to run multiple platforms on one computer means nothing.
Maybe you didn't notice but many terms have multiple meaning. PC can mean personal computer and it can also mean a windows based computer.
Funny how hermits will use valve/steam to back them up unless they happen to contradict them.
@Cranler: PC's does stand for Personal Computers. You just said it for yourself. Then you went to the common misconception that only windows based OS qualify as a PC.

SPeaking of the word funny, it has multiple meaning too. Did you miss the part where I said pc has multiple meanings? It stands for personal computers but is more commonly used in referring to windows based computers.
Some of the biggest players in the industry like valve, Intel, Apple and MS refer to windows based computers as pc.

Very impressive... and that number does not even count all the people that are playing Blizzard games, Origin games, DRM free games, Minecraft, Planetside 2, etc....

The reason Valve separate the two is because some games aren't playable on Mac etc. The term PC is universal, stop trying to make out its not.

Funny enough that is what Steam also had back then on 2009,2 million concurrent users considering how online has grow from 2009 to 2014 i say it should be close to steam,and on PS3 probably beyond that,sony didn't talk about numbers but i played games like COD on PS3 and i use to see as high as 800K when i was playing MW3 and Black ops 2.
@Cranler said:
Hahahah Mbirdy totally owned....hahahaha
Unless he want to pretend now that Linux and Mac are the same platform as windows.
Hell 80 million users is nothing since steam is available since 2003,and started getting 3rd party games since 2005,since 2003 this is what consoles sold.

Well no one really cares what you say
Or what you say...hahahah
I have a feeling if we took a poll, more people would care about what I have to say. Of course, my posts make a lot more sense than yours.
It's kinda crazy, but Valve has the highest revenue per capita in the entire gaming industry.
No wonder they haven't announce any games (yet?) as they make plenty of money without making games.
I suppose a lot of key people behind Halflife are either not there anymore or busy in new job positions.
Well, Valve has developers working on Team Fortress and DOTA (and CS:GO ?) content for one.
But I read that when you work at Valve you've got a lot of freedom to work on what you want. So I'm sure a lot of developers there can just work on prototypes and game ideas, and if they don't work out just cancel them and no harm done. I'm sure they have that freedom as Valve has all the money in the world.

Yeah dude, totally. I once heard a big player in the industry say PC, he was referring to a computer, that ran windows. Yeah man. Also the other big player he also said that bro, don't listen to the haters man dude!

100+ million PS2
10 million xbox
10 million GC
100 million wii
80 million 360
80 million ps3.
By far they eclip those steam numbers.
oh Tormtlol ....
1) Steam doesn't represent all PC Gamers... you know there are a lot of places where its barely used right?
2) how many of those PS2/360s and PS3's are rebought or counter because of hardware failures? and also how many of them are owned by the same people?
.... that would be as stupid as me adding up all the devices used by each steam account... I'm sure... the number... would be quite as inflated. but hey.... my PC, 2 laptops and media centre pc have all logged into my steam account.
even then... now we are comparing 7 devices... to one digital store? dat desperation.

And the PS4 doesn't represent all consoles...
The majority of PC gamers are on steam,funny enough this is a thread about steam but as soon as something negative about it comes up some how steam doesn't represent all gamers... hahahaha
This is why you hermits are a joke,steam stats not only show that most of you don't own a super rig,but also that even those that do play mostly Dota 2 on steam a game that runs on a X800 and a Pentium 4..lol
But as soon as that get out steam doesn't represent gamers,but when the topic is savings it some how does with steam sales,when it comes to concurrent users it some how does at well..hahaha
Hey fella the mother board in my old PC i bough it twice,at year 2 it fry and i didn't wanted to lose my data,so i bough the exact same one,and just re used the components,dvd drivers 3 times,2 ram cards and a power supply,don't tell me that the only place where you need to re buy crap is on consoles,the PS2 didn't have a 50% fail rate like the 360,and the problems it had DRE was easy to fix with a new lent.
Oh and don't make me point that several hermit here have more than 2 gaming PC some have even 3,so yeah stop your hypocrisy.
Fact is steam is across multiple platforms period,and it is been out since 2003,hell some PC running steam still are on single core CPU,so how come you can count a PC from 2004 but we can't count a PS2 from that same year.?

well that's not true at all
Prove it...hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
okay
For example, here's a post with a bunch of evidence in it
@lostrib said:
"Crytek struggled making a profit with the original Crysis even though it managed to to sell over 3 million copies." actually crysis was announced to be profitable (on a 22 million dollar budget) less than a year after release. The 3 million copies was announced in 2010.
But then oddly enough, the whole trilogy was just breaking even: "But effectively Crysis 1 and 2 and 3 are just about breaking even." and that was assuming they meet forecasts. Although, Crysis 3 did not meet expectations
Also, those witcher 2 pirated numbers aren't real. Heck your own post proves that.
Interesting you mention Metro 2033's publisher, THQ, going out of business, considering the vast majority of their games were on consoles. I think in the last decade their only PC exclusives were the handful of Warhammer 40k and COH games.
"Then we have the Witcher a series that combined has sold about 6 million copies including the Witcher 1 and 2. Now compare that to something like UC2 that sold 6 million by itself on the PS platform alone and you can see why the PC wouldn't be able to support the Wither 3 by itself either."
And then we have Diablo 3 which sold 6 million in its first week, and 12+ million by the end of the year. or Minecraft that sold 15 million on PC. or Starcraft 2 that sold 6+ million. And let's not all forget that just recently PC gaming revenue surpassed consoles
