Does Vista herald a Gaming Renaissance?
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007
Microsoft VP of Interactive Entertainment Peter Moore says that the company will lead a PC gaming “Renaissance” with the release of 
Vista, which is being touted as a gaming platform as much as an OS. Just as he believes Microsoft was “derelict in its duty” to seriously get behind PC gaming and expand the market in the past, he also thinks that the company is in the position to help it along considerably in the future.
Unsurprisingly, Rich Wickham, director of the Games for Windows Business, shares Moore’s Vista optimism, perhaps with good reason. The most recent NPD US retail figures showed PC game sales in 2006 of nearly $1 billion, up 1 percent year-over-year—obviously, that can barely be called growth, but at least it’s not declining, and those figures don’t reflect global sales or revenue generated from subscriptions and paid downloads, which are on the rise.
