Steam surpasses 65 million users
Steam reached its current milestone as Valve prepares to launch Steam Machines, an initiative that aims to bring PC gaming to the living room with dedicated hardware, a platform-specific operating system, and a gaming-optimized controller. Currently, Steam hosts over 3,000 downloadable games from a broad spectrum of publishers and independent developers.
"The main goal of Steam has always been to increase the quality of the user's experience by reducing the distance between content creators and their audience," said Valve president Gabe Newell. "As the platform grows, our job is to adapt to the changing needs of both the development and user communities. In the coming year, we plan to make perhaps our most significant collaborations with both communities through the Steam Dev Days and the Steam Machines beta."

65 million is a bit of a random milestone to talk about, however, Steam is probably the biggest gaming platform on PC :)

Considering how many sales they have I was expecting more, but 65 million is still a pretty big number

LaserShowShen That is a pretty impressive amount, still prefer console though.
Playing on consoles is much easier.
I agree. While PC gaming is more powerful i find console gaming more efficient and easy to approach
