Much like id Software, Epic Games and other formerly PC-only developers, Crytek has decided that it can no longer put out games solely for the PC platform. Not only has the retail console market become more lucrative, but piracy in PC gaming has been running rampant.

Speaking to PC Play, Crytek President Cevat Yerli said, "We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading that is not desirable. I believe that's the core problem of PC Gaming, piracy. To the degree PC Gamers that pirate games inherently destroy the platform. Similar games on consoles sell factors of 4-5 more. It was a big lesson for us and I believe we won't have PC exclusives as we did with Crysis in future. We are going to support PC, but not exclusive anymore."

Yerli also downplayed the oft rumored console version on Crysis. "Crysis as we have seen is impossible [on consoles]. Crysis would have to be largely changed to bring it to Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3," he said. "Crysis is designed to be PC Exclusive. Our internal focus is not linked to bring Crysis to consoles."

That said, Crytek did show off its CryEngine 2 running on the Xbox 360 and PS3 at the recent Game Developers Conference. Even if Crytek isn't doing it themselves, the studio could partner with another developer to port the game to consoles. Time will tell.
