He's including the entire PC market including Intel's IGP's, in which case Nvidia only owns 16.1% of the market. Sontin, Shintai and Cloudfire have been going on about AMD's tiny market share all thread, so I created a new one to discuss it but it was closed.

Simple fact is, AMD owns more of the gaming market than Nvidia any way you look at it.
Lets see here:
AMD make both discrete GPUs and APUs with IGPs.
Nvidia make discrete GPUs.
Because of this, the total market share is bigger for AMD. But Nvidia make big profit, while AMD barely makes profit on GPUs while losing big bucks on APUs/CPUs, which nets them a loss quarter after quarter.
Who is in the better situation here you think?
I could go on war against the shops selling TVs. They sell their TV for $500 and nets them $100 per Tv, but I can sell the same TV for $300 which makes me lose $100 per TV. I promise you I would sell a lot more and have way bigger market share, but in the end I lose although my sales and market share is bigger.
