Its pretty simple really.
The only thing you need to make a computer game is a computer. You don't need a publisher, you don't need an expensive dev kit, you can do it all yourself (if your so inclined). Its far more difficult and far more expensive to make a console game. Not to mention that digital distribution is completely decentralised on the pc. So all you need is a website and the bandwidth to make some $$$.
Essentially the barrier for entry is a lot lower. Not to mention pc games don't get a slice of the revenue taken away by royalty fee's given to the creator of the console.
