Exactly,you can rent a console game if you don`t have the money to buy it. You can`t do that with Pc games.

But why whould you rent a Pc game when you can download it in the privacy of your own home?

Still,Condemned 2,Battlefield BC,Gears 2,Fable 2,Forza 3,Halo 3,Ninja Gaiden 2,Halo Wars,Lost Odyssey,Bayonetta,Army of Two 2,Dante`s Inferno,Darksiders,Space Marines,FF 13,Risen and many more future games will be on consoles and not on Pc,so...not everyone is "stupid to release on Pc"

And this looks to be only the tip of the iceberg,things don`t look good for the future of Pc gaming.


True, the devs and publishers are getting wiser. I really hope they refuse to release their biggest games on PC.
(I mean, I pirate PC games myself but it's wrong.. and the best way to stop it, is simply to make it impossible)

Huh, that's not even close to what's happening. We are seeing more and more PC support and exclusive PC games from developers and publishers. Just look at EA and Square-Enix - both are giving so much support to PC gaming that is affecting the releases on consoles.

EA for example, their 3 biggest games in the last 12 months were PC exclusives: Spore, Sims 3 and Warhammer Online. Square-Enix just annouced as many PC games as any HD console, FFXIV and Front Mission coming to PC and with heavy rumors that FFXIII will also come to PC. They also recently released Yosumin and The Last Remnant with exclusive Steam achievements.

 

But your list is smaller than Stan85's list of games that won't get a PC version.

And the big selling games on PC are very niched games, like WoW, WAR online, Spore and The Sims - traditional gamers aren't interested in those games. Nowadays only Diablo and Starcraft are big PC exclusive games that traditional gamers are interested in.
(Civilization and Empire series should be counted too)

The PC market as a whole is quite an awkward market nowadays, from where you can pick some gems and a few console to PC ports.
