Well its an interesting article but I do think he failed to discuss the role that hardware manufacturers will play. Lets face it as long as consumers are willing to spend obscene amounts of money on their PCs, the hardware manufacturers will need devs like crytek around to help those consumers justify their hardware purchase.
So what impact does their push in the direction of increased PC development have on this market? Clearly the devs themselves would love to move exclusively to the simplified market of the consoles but the hardware market is substantial and accounts for a lot of revenue that they are certainly willing to fight for...the other thing is that if big monolithic devs move out of the PC market the fact that it is so accessible means that smaller groups can actually move in to that niche.
Still though, I agree with his overall conclusion that the market is vastly underestimated.
