“In the last five years, there’s been a real renaissance in PC gaming, and that’s happening with Nvidia and AMD investing in really high-end performance – to the point where PCs have eclipsed consoles much more significantly than ever before. In fact consoles used to lead PCs and it would take a while for them to catch up.”
It’s interesting to hear a senior Microsoft representative discuss the benefits of PC gaming and this isn’t an attitude which would have existed a few years go. To be fair, it’s hard to argue with since the consoles have adapted as a reaction to PCs, and this is the reason why hardware lifespans are shorter. You only need to a take a look at the PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio to see that the is a greater demand consoles sporting different specifications. Despite my own scepticism, I have to applaud Microsoft for finally releasing games like Forza Horizon 3 on PC.
