I'd be more surprised if they had a desktop than a laptop.
Gaming PCs are very often desktops, though I think those tend to be used more like consoles nowadays, not general purpose computers.
My anecdata is that the households I know that have desktops are gamers, yes, but:
- the desktops in question tend to be "exclusively" used by one member of the household
- the desktop owners usually also have a laptop
- the desktop-owning households are well in the minority of households I know
Old-ish data, but US Census states that 81% of American households have at least one laptop or desktop. Tablets at 61%.
