Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnik says consoles aren’t going away, but PC is growing

PC gaming has continued to grow in popularity over the years, and the recent Steam Machine announcement from Valve has reignited conversations about PC gaming vs traditional consoles. In discussing the matter, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnik said that he doesn’t believe consoles are going away, but there is a greater shift happening towards PC gaming. Strauss Zelnik was speaking with CNBC when he talked about the current climate of video game consoles vs the PC market. “I think it’s moving towards PC and business is moving towards open rather than closed,” he said to the outlet. “But if you define console as the property, not the system, then the notion of a very rich game that you engage in for many hours that you play on a big screen that’s never going away.” Zelnik’s comments come less than a week after Valve revealed a new iteration of the Steam Machine alongside a suite of new PC gaming products slated to launch early next year. This year has seen consoles get price hikes beyond their launch prices thanks to tariffs and their impact on the global market.
