There are exceptions here. If consoles haven't demostrated they can effectively do something as a game genre (this is in implementation and/or financial viability), which have been done on PCs, they tend to stay on PCs. What you have now, outside of the hardcore gamers (PC gamers, not people who game on PCs as something to do because they have them), is people who game on PCs as something they do with their devices. They aren't hardcore about it. Stuff like lunch break stuff. Similar to what you get with people who have cell phones. It is something you do because you have the device.
This casual approach would count myself as a "PC gamer". I will sometimes fire up Freecell or try a Flash game.
Massive multiplayer is another example of a genre that fits here. Consoles haven't demostrated they are viable there, so they stay with PC gaming. They also offer free trial periods so people can play them. And people can still stick with them. With those, generally people get married to one game, so it isn't the same as what you have with console gaming.
