No argument there, Humorguy: PC gaming business is definitely not doing as well as it did back in the early '90s. This is probably mainly due to the saturation of the whole gaming field: PC now has to compete with more than just 'childrens consoles' like the 8-bit Nintendo and MegaDrive were. Xboxes and Playstations offer more complex and adult oriented entertainment and thus attract current/former PC gamers.
However, thanks to the modern consoles, the number of gamers has increased exponentially and the business as a whole is doing pretty well.
As for the number of the games bought, I suppose that is something that varies from country to country. The sales figures of the US should be very different from those of the UK, Australia, or the countries of the continental Europe.
