Epic boss claims PC gaming is in 'disarray'

Epic Games chief Cliff Bleszinski has said he believes PC gaming is now in a state of 'disarray', adding that his firm sees the platform as secondary to consoles.
Creator of the best-selling Xbox 360 hit Gears of War, Bleszinski told MTV: "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 World of Warcraft and a lot of stuff that’s in a web-based interface.”
“The PC is kind of the secondary part of what we’re doing. It’s important for us, but right now making triple A games on consoles is where we’re at.”
When asked about the much-rumoured sequel to Gears of War, however, Bleszinski refused to comment.
