Major PC market shift predicted in Leipzig keynote

Bill Roper made some bold—or perhaps not so bold—statements while addressing the Games Convention Developer Conference during his keynote speech:

"I'm going to get on my PC soapbox for a few minutes... PC games are on the verge of a major market shift, as PC
developers and publishers start to move from selling CDs of single-player games to retail outlets, to selling online games to those with broadband connections. We're already seeing primitive multi-platform games on the PC... Players want to get online and play."

Generation after generation of console gaming, the PC has always been here. But do you think it's here to stay?
