When the amount of something that you are referring to is made up of distinct units (such as games), you use 'fewer'. It's only when the thing that you are referring to is not a collection that you use 'less'. Fewer competitors, less competition. Fewer extra dollars, less discretionary income. Fewer sales, less profit. I know it's a bit presumptuous to correct grammar in other people's blogs, but I really enjoy what you have to say -- and you appear to enjoy saying it -- but little sloppy mistakes like that cause me to drop into proofreading mode.
