With pretty much everyone throwing their opinions about PC gaming, why must Sony Online Entertainment’s John Smedley be left behind? Speaking with GameDaily, John Smedley shoots off at the recent “PC gaming is dying” discussions, as well as disagreeing with Tim Sweeney’s “PC is good for anything, not just games” comment. Here’s a snip:

“I keep reading all this doom and gloom. It’s the same guys that have been telling us for years that mainframes are doomed. If you just look at the actual facts on the ground, World of Warcraft – and I have to give props to our competition here – it sat on top of the PC charts for three years now. At some point, and everybody keeps talking about this, but they’re just not realizing that a lot of people’s dollars are going into these online games now and a lot of them you can buy truly digitally, which isn’t getting tracked. It’s as simple as that.”

Full interview after the jump.
