Of course there are more PC/Windows users. But how many of them would you consider "gamers" that would play a game like Carrier Command? It's not the PC/Windows market that is niche, it is the PC gaming market that is much smaller than the console gaming market. Just look at those sales numbers that Gazzareth posted.
Those were retail sales. Most pc gamers buy games digitally nowadays. Hell I can't even remember the last pc game I bought in a store.
I read an interesting article that predicts PC games will outsell the console market within the next 2 years. However, what we pc gamers will get might be horrible ports. Rumor has it the next-gen gaming consoles will be far inferior to pc's compared to current gen when they premiered. That certainly won't help matters.
Like I said before, don't look to AAA game developers to bring us something great and innovative, its more likely going to come from indie game developers.
A port too far.
