Microsoft "Our Job To Lead The Way On PC Gaming"
Fable III, Age of Empires Online and Microsoft Flight only the start.
Microsoft has said that it needs to "step up" to its commitment to PC gaming, and that there is some "real investment and big IPs behind the Windows platform."
Responding to criticism that the company may be spending more time focusing on the Xbox 360 than the home computer, Microsoft Game Studios GM Dave Luehmann admitted that "other companies should look to Microsoft for leadership, but I’m not sure they do.
"It is our job to lead the way on PC. And in some ways we are doing that and in other ways we are not. So we need to step up."
His comments follow similar assurances last month that the company has plans to cater for "core users" with big gaming rigs. The first step to leading the PC revolution lies in three products: Fable III, Age of Empires Online and Microsoft Flight. More is said to come.
“We are not going to stop there," Luehmann added. "I think it is the responsibility of first parties to push the business models in to new directions. We will test some ideas – some will work and some won’t."
