Let's put it this way. Pretend that back in the day there were 10 gamers. 5 of them bought PC games and the other 5 bought console games. Now, the market has grown and there are 100 gamers. PC game sales have not decreased, in fact maybe they've increased a bit. So now 6 of those 100 gamers buy PC games and 94 of them buy console games.

That's obviously an exaggerated example, but just because PC game sales haven't decreased doesn't mean they've grown with the market--they clearly haven't.
