CliffyB: PC Gaming In Disarray News

Seems as though the consoles will become Epic's primary focus for the future...
MTV's Stephen Totilo managed to coax Epic Games' CliffyB out of hiding at last week's D.I.C.E summit, who talked candidly about approaching the ripe age of 33, his peace of mind about not developing the next Cooking Mama, and the decline of PC gaming.
While sticking clear of Gears of War 2, CliffyB comments regarding the state of PC gaming send warning sounds of doom for PC gamers brought up on Epic's shooters. Amidst talk of lower-than-expected sales for Unreal Tournament III (nothing to do with partnering with Midway of course), CliffyB quips:
"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 '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 So for me, the PC is kind of the secondary part of what we're doing. It's important for us, but right now making AAA games on consoles is where we're at."
"AAA games on consoles", wonder what that could be?
