According to Nvidia's senior director of investor relations, Chris Evenden, there's a possibility that Grand Theft Auto V might be coming to PC this year after all.
As mentioned during an earnings call posted on Seeking Alpha a couple of days ago, Evenden suggested that GTA V would be part of "a strong roster of games coming this fall".
The PC market is evolving. As entry level laptops face pressure from tablets. Yet sales of specialty PCs like gaming systems and work stations continue to grow. The disparity reflects how consumers use these different classes of PCs. Many consumers look for PC as a general purpose device they can use for browsing, email, social media video. But much of this can be better served by a tablet. In contrast, gamers are preparing their systems for a strong roster of games coming this fall, including blockbuster franchises, such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto V and Assassin's Creed IV.
Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, maybe Nvidia knows something that we don't. Either way, we're going to have to wait a while before we find out anything conclusive, certainly after GTA V launches next month on September 17.
