@S.T.A.G.E: If so, why doesn't Sony or Nintendo release their big games on PC? If it's a different market, it wouldn't effect negatively on game sales or console sales. It just would be the opposite; if you'd have SMG on your PC, and liked it, you'd surely want to buy Wii and SMG for the Wii just to experience it on Wii.
Or GT5 on PC only would increase PS3 sales, since people would see how great game it is, and they'd buy PS3 for GT5.

With the same logic you said the PC is on different market, last gen is too. "Console exclusive" doesn't equal "exclusive".

Ask yourself why Microsoft got their hands on FFVII for the PC. They published the PC version. It was still exclusive to Sony though through 3rd party. They are totally different experiences and that needs to be accepted. Consoles war with each other, PC's are on their own. Videogames consoles are their own entity and in that they have no gripe with the PC. PC guys can mumble to themselves about how consoles suck all day, yet they don't. Anyone from PC who shifts to consoles like Valve sees an investment in consoles. Microsoft saw an investment in consoles themselves after they saw that Sony gathered market share by gathering games developers. Not 60% percent of the gaming industry with all platforms.... just consoles. Microsoft wanted in on that action instead of just publishing software for the PC, because they had no business with consoles in the past.

 

actually it was published by EIDOS.

fail.
