I'm doing my part!

I assume they're referring to actual hardware. I'd imagine the percentage of gamers playing emulated games is much higher than 14%.

Edit: Found the article

It appears I am correct.

Modern games: requires $300+ game console or a $300+ GPU to get 30 FPS

Retro games: runs on your grandma's Dell Pavilion still running Windows XP that she refuses to stop using, gets 50/60 depending on region

Almost all of my modern games are indies. Most cost between $5 and $30. I love retro too but if we're going to only include modern "AAA" titles in the comparison...
