OB1, "psychic networks" and "wholistic healers" have managed to sucker the money out of people using nothing but terrible logic and outright falsities. They know how to get people to pay for their stuff, yes, but absolutely none of what they do can be considered logical, much less moral. Just because they can TRICK people doesn't mean they are going about it logically. And yes, I'm aware your argument is really about what sorts of people will buy different things, not really about the advertising itself, but that's the thing. It's not just EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE that considers PC games in the same market as the rest of games, it's a LOT of people. As you said, the majority determines the market. If the majority of people who play games, casual gamers, consider PC games and console games the same market, then I guess it's so.

But wait, maybe you mean it's not that they THINK it, but that they ACT on it by actually buying the products. I can see that, but they don't have to actually BUY every single system to prove the point. They just have to get to a point where they must make a choice, either console system or PC. By your standards, the Gamecube is a seperate market from the PS2. It's not AS seperated as the PC is from consoles in general, but it's as meaningless a seperation as that.
