According to an internal Microsoft Q&A document obtained by Kotaku, Fable III’s upcoming release for PC is the start of a major push for gaming on Windows 7.
The Q&A asks: “Does Fable III on Windows signal a larger reinvestment by Microsoft in PC gaming? How is this different from the previous times you’ve announced a reinvestment in PC gaming and not quite come through with a robust offering?”
To which the response is: “In terms of revenue, Windows is far and away the largest gaming platform in the world, so it’s an incredibly important part of Microsoft’s business. From core games like Fable III to casual, social and Facebook titles, more gaming happens on Windows than anywhere else. Windows 7 is a world-class gaming platform, and you can bet Microsoft has a vested interest in using it as a platform for amazing first party content. Fable III on Windows as well as Xbox 360 this holiday is a great first step, and we’ll have more news for you later this summer.”
Unfortunately Microsoft doesn’t seem to have answered its own question; how is this different from the previous investments in PC gaming?
Fable III is scheduled for release on October 26, 2010, for Xbox 360. It’s not clear if this date also applies to the PC version.
