not being on PC might cause a bigger HW bump also as 360 is the only place to get it those who want it day 1 or month 1 will have to get a 360 at least as of now

if i were MS i wouldnt share games with PC keep doing it 360 only they should try to kill off PC gaming IMO

Looking at the reaction from the PC community I don't think this is going to get a bunch of people sitting with high spec PCs to buy a 360 to get Alan Wake.

Also, I'd say it's pretty clear MS is focused on 360 to the detriment of PC.

 

Even though MS is focusing on the 360 almost exclusively gaming-wise now, Microsoft still has PC gamers by the balls so they don't care. If you are a PC gamer, having Windows installed is pretty much a must given how many PC games are only supported on Windows. So good luck gaming with just Linux at your disposal. And the Mac? Well, there's not much there either unless you install Windows (win-win for Microsoft).

"Core" Traditional PC gaming (you know the, "oh yeah I just got a gaming rig! It's a monster!" type of PC gaming) has noticeably faded some since MS (and to a lesser extent Sony) converted quite a few PC game developers to console gaming. But there are enough of these games exclusive to Windows to convince people to buy a Windows-based PC. And there are plenty of other types of PC games (casual games, indie games, free-to-play games, MMOs... except Blizzard games since those always have Mac support) that require Windows.
