?I think people would rather make a game that sells 4.5 million copies than a million and ?Gears? is at 4.5 million right now on the 360. I think the PC is just in disarray? what?s driving the PC right now is ?Sims?-type games and ?WoW? and a lot of stuff that?s in a web-based interface. You just click on it and play it. That?s the direction PC is evolving into So for me, the PC is kind of the secondary part of what we?re doing. It?s important for us, but right now making AAA games on consoles is where we?re at.?
If Gears of War sells 4 million on the 360 and a year later sells 1 million on the PC, then is that really bad considering most people have already played it?
Secondly you take UT3 and you realize that it was basically the same game in a shiny new engine. The singleplayer was an embarrassing joke.

As you can see, UT3 sold virtually the same on PS3 and the PC, despite the PS3 market having far fewer shooters. So the point is, maybe there was something wrong with the game? In the end, yes, we do still have a problem here, but I don't think UT3 was that good of a game to begin with.
