Cliffy B way over his head? about PC Market 'Disarray'

First of all everyone should be known to Cliff Blenszinski. If you haven't, then I suggest you go and buy this for the PC : Gears of War. Play through it and, obviously, you'll see him in the credits

If you know already and smart to figure out what I'm trying to say, then well done, but I will explain anyways.

Recently found this interview of lead creator of GoW: Cliffy B while he was at DICE gaming summit. The article can be found here: http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/02/13/gears-of-war-creator-update/ .
First half of the article meantions some personal aspects of his life, but what caught my attention was the second half of the content.

Cliffy pretty much stated that their primary focus now is in console gaming, pointing out that the PC market was in "Disarray". Point to that he gave was that Gears of War sold almost 4 times as much as PC the version, so we'll probably end up seeing less Epic games in the PC.

Although, console market right now is huge, I just thought that his point of view at that moment was partly irrational. Initially PC gaming market was hard to get into, but monster games like World of Warcraft are what Cliffy B stated is partly to blame for the overall drop in PC gaming. He has a point, but Cliffy also forgot that Gears of War was pretty much "the" next-gen game for the Xbox 360 and it was made initially exclusive. With EPIC changing over to console, we'll probably see more of this occurring during the year. I don't know about you my thought are that VALVE are also showing signs...maybe.

The artcle got me also thinking about PC gaming market prospect. The future is slighlty bleak. I mean as last year stated that 14% of total games sold was for the PC: http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/01/pc-games-hit-ma.html. Initially my thought, in general was, that big games like the Sims and World of Warcraft made it difficult for other genres to get it's spotlight in the scene, but what these are also doing a good job of keeping the PC gaming market intact.

I think what this effects are mostly the hardcore PC players. There will still be gaming in the PC but more as casual Bejeweled players rather than your PC overclockers nerds, like me I admit, trying to squeeze extra processing power for a few extra framerates, and I think that's why it has it's effects on me.

My tuppence worth.

So please buy some PC games. *smiles*
