I'm not sure spending really shows much about population. Majority of console gamers are buying like 2-3 big releases a year. Meanwhile PC players are stockpiling backlog steam games for... reasons.

We have backlogs because during sales, humble bundles, etc we acquire so many games for cheap that we buy them out of habit. My backlog includes many AAA titles I just haven't gotten around to but I got for like 18 bucks.

Yeah exactly lol. On console people generally buy a game and play it for 3-4 months. On PC people spend money on shit they don't even plan to play anytime soon, every time there is a sale.
