I can only hope that with more games being out there and more people playing them, the averages will be less dependent on the games themselves. The stats are not broken down by region. @John: this might be caused by different Unity games being played at different times, with different target audiences.

Neat stuff. Looking at them, it oddly looks like some machine specs are regressing if you compare Q1 to Q3. i.e. the percentage of machines with 512 megs RAM increased, while 1 and 2 gig machines decreased. Same with screen resolutions - 1024x768 increased, and higher res decreased. It will be interesting to see how these evolve over time, especially across things like xmas holiday and start of school seasons. Are the stats broken down by region, or are they world-wide?
