Again, this is about population statistics, and you can't deny that gaming involves factors which will skew the statistics towards newer & higher-end machines than what the general computing public is using. Furthermore, Linux has some factors probably skewing its users towards older machines, because Linux users tend to be more technical and therefore more willing & able to keep old machines running.
