Yes, but we were talking about Linux's popularity as a gaming platform, and why it's not more widespread, and that's not an issue the huge majority of gamers share -- so they'd rather use a console.

Consoles vs PC has nothing to do with Linux popularity. Linux is underrepresented in gaming because of smaller market share, which in turn is caused by sickening dominance of MS, and their efforts to push lock-in on developers (DX and such). I.e. still the vast majority of PCs are sold with Windows pre-installed. That's the root of most of these problems.
