Nvidia VP of content business development Roy Taylor believes that the success of consoles "don't threaten PC gaming," but rather provides an "exciting future" as PCs will later receive enhanced editions of console games.

"The console is a baseline, the PC is going to be an improved version," he explained to Eurogamer. "If you look at Gears of War or Assassin's Creed...the PC versions had additional aspects to them that also made them attractive, whether you owned the console version or not. The PC version was better. That's an exciting future."

Echoing the sentiment of Crysis developer Crytek, Taylor expects to see less PC-exclusives as a result of rampant piracy and the "value of consoles," but noted that PCs should see more digital authentication and "service" releases in the future.

"You're going to start out with a basic service, which is the game, and then increase the value of that service through patches, mod packs, expansions, maps and so on," Taylor explained. "Most PC gamers also own consoles--not all of them, but a lot of them."

"PC gaming is changing and consoles don't threaten PC gaming. They're just different, he concluded. "That's why I don't see anything threatening about consoles at all."
