"Enthusiast players want the ultimate games system and that is the PC,” says Nvidia sales manager.
PC hardware manufacturer Nvidia says the PC is "far
superior" to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as a gaming platform, and that
small form-factor PCs should be a viable alternative to next-gen consoles.
“We are proposing small form-factor PCs to be a viable
alternative to the next-gen consoles. Enthusiast players want the ultimate
games system and that is the PC,” said Nvidia consumer sales manager Matt
Wright in an interview with MCV.
“The PC platform is far superior to any console when it
comes to
gaming, plus you get all the extra functionality that a computer
brings,” Wright added. Small PC gaming boxes are a major part of Valve's
SteamOS push to get PC hardware in the living room, with the first Steam
Machines expected to ship in 2014.
But what about about the complexity of building and
maintaining a gaming PC compared to the next-gen consoles? According to Wright,
Nvidia's part in the current PC market is “to make PC gaming as simple as
possible, and we think that it already becoming much more relevant and
appealing to casual gamers,” said Wright.
“Steam now has more users than Xbox Live," he added.
"There is a whole new generation who grew up playing on PC with titles
like Minecraft or World of Tanks. There’s a huge community who love playing
their games on PC.”
