Why is Microsoft killing off PC gaming?

PC genre is dying for hardcore gamers, all because of piracy. No big budget exclusives are made for the PC anymore. Even Critek started to develop their games for consoles. Blizzard makes their games for old PCs, but I fink they too will soon start to make games for consoles.

There is not much use of these high end grafix cards for PC because the age of PC grafix power house is over.

Console is the platform of choice for developers that want to make money with developing something else than just MMOs and Flash games.

How is PC dieing for hardcore gamers when it's the only platform for hardcore genres like Adventure and Simulation?!

Big Budgets?! HAH!! How much money are developers/publishers losing money on those games?! That's why we're seeing EA, Square-Enix and Capcom developing more and more for PC, while leaving HD Consoles behind somewhat.

There are definitely more Big Budget games coming to PC than any console anyway.
