What a lame excuse. They saw some $ from MS, that´s it. PC gamers do have large screnns as well.

How about you blame it on the PC gamers that don't make the platform viable for traditional core titles? I mean, if there was money in a game like Alan Wake on PC, Remedy would have done it. But unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

That's not really the issue here though, based on their comments.  It's clear MS has made this decision for them and not because of piracy or weak PC sales but because they want the title to be soley on 360 at launch.

I think that's a fair enough reason myself.  I mean your point is fine in principle, as PC sales have weakened vs consoles for a lot of genres, arguably linked to the rise in piracy, but in this specific case it seems very unlikely this was the actual reason.
