I think the reason why many console exclusives never hit the PC is due to the obstruction of Japanese developers/publishing companies.

The Japanese are very hard-working people who invest alot of time and energy into their creations and thus they don't like stuff being downloaded for free.
Other Asians(especially south east Asians like me) will have no qualms going to sites like piratebay or gametorrents to get their share of free games even if they can afford it.
Our culture teaches us that paying $60 bucks for anything other than daily necessity is a waste of money even if you are financially well-off.
The japanese understand that culture very well too.

So IMHO if for some reason the majority of the console exclusives end up on the PC, it will affect the profits of those developers and publishers of those games rather heavily.
