After some posts on a Namco-Bandai board by an administrator/employee that Dark Souls PC could theoretically happen if demand was high enough, Rock Paper Shotgun put up an article about it:
Now of course, we've heard that plenty of time for every game ever (usually with little to no success) and I have no idea if this administrator has any influence within the company at all (probably not). But it never hurts to try, so let's show Namco-Bandai that we want Dark Souls on PC. Higher-resolution, better framerate, perhaps better online infrastructure and fan mods would surely improve the quality of the game.
Enthusiasm!

It seems to me that Namco decided there wasn’t demand, of course, because the game has so far only turned up on the TV boxes. That strikes me as a little strange, especially when you consider that historically-speaking PC gamers are VERY interested in making armoured men hit fantasy enemies with swords and sharp sticks. Underpin that with unforgiving RPG mechanics and that DOES sound like our kind of game. But I suppose there are only thirty million or so Steam accounts, and hundreds of millions of better-than-360-spec PCs worldwide… What possible market could there be for such a game on the age old Windows machine? Eh? Oh, and Namco, while you are converting Dark Souls to PC you might as well do Enslaved too? I mean it can’t possibly hurt. Thanksmuch!
