Consoles dwarfed PC gaming back then, so your experience is pretty atypical.

Maybe for total revenue (including game sales), but a lot of people had access to PCs. They were still fairly niche in the early 90s, but by the early 00s, online games like RuneScape and flash games were ubiquitous, and tons of kids would play at school labs and the local library.
