Epic's Cliff Bleszinski has said that the studio is focusing on producing console titles for the time being, claiming PC gaming is currently in "disarray".

"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," he told MTV Multiplayer.

"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."

"For me, the PC is kind of the secondary part of what we're doing," confirmed Bleszinski. "It's important for us, but right now making AAA games on consoles is where we're at."

Boo on Epic!!

Just hope the rest of the industry doesn't start to look at things this way.

Nah, thats just the type of thing you say to cover your ass when your company puts out a sh*tty title. The only one in disarray here is Epic. Don't get me wrong I like UT3 but when you log on and there are only 2 servers with people on it, something is wrong. And it's not the industry.

Was the industry in "disarray" for COD4, nope. You know why? They actually released a finished product that had polish.

Wartourist is probably going to be really busy on the forums lol.

There's no doubt Epic completely dropped the ball on UT3, but after COD4, I have little doubt IW will focus more on the console market from now on. They were one of the many devs to decry the scourge of piracy affecting their profitability. That, along with the millions upon millions of console version of their game, and you can easily see which market looks more appealing.
