Now that you mention it...... other than MMOs, I cant think of many big PC launches.
Supreme Commander , and SinsOASE
Hmm. Turn based hardcore niche strat games.... ( I mean like Galactic Civ and stuff, not referring to SC and SINS which are RTS)
Battlefield 2 was almost 5 years ago now.... BF2 was great. Also, BF2 was a huge seller on PC, selling 1.25 mil in its first 2 weeks and millions more over its lifespan plus one good and very successful expansion, and one OK but considerably less successful one. ( oh, PC gaming was already dead back then too, remember)
CoD is only big multiplayer FPS launches outside Valve, and CoD has been totally consolified..... CoD games are fun but since 4, but not very PC oriented. So console sales do better... this plus Halo is largely what gives people the impression that Consoles are the "Main thing"
And we have Total War series.....
Orange Box
But yeah... past few years have been "age of the MMO" where most of the big money on PC has gone to MMO development, and most of the rest is shitty console ports...... good PC stuff has mostly been mods of older games, and strategy games.
Red Alert 3 sucked though. =/

Open your eyes, there have been tons of great PC exclusive games recenty, far more than any platform. It is mainly due to people's ignorance that they think otherwise, and you are proof of it. You're implying there's not many FPS exclusive on PC, yet here's a few good FPS games out on PC recently:
- Crysis
- Crysis Warhead
- Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl
- Stalker: Clear Sky
- ArmA
- ArmA 2
+ tons of other shooters like Killing Floor, America's Army, Quake Live, etc... Xbox 360 doesn't offer anywhere PC has has offered in FPS games.
