Armchair Speculation Pt 2

Nope. 100% wrong.

More like not 100% correct.

Three things:

* Post-2009 is about the midpoint of the current generation of console hardware
* The global economic downturn was well in effect by this point (whereas in 2008 it had affected some, but by no means all)
* The iPhone was starting to gain traction, starting the current trend of reduced expectation of cost for games.

You can't look at where we are now and say one thing alone caused this; it's a product of many causes.

I agree more or less completely.

What I'm saying is that it's probably not one of the causes that "PC gaming is so awesome".

All of the above-mentioned are much, much better candidates. There are probably other potential causes as well.
