You're really misinformed...PC gaming isn't some sacred hardcore platform...it has many less-hardcore and casual gamers as well. The UK is not a good representation of the PC market tbh. Look at something like Germany or France if you want to see how big PC gaming can really be.
And you can also exclusively game on PC's you know

Using VGC to look at PC sales, shows even for games like DA series ect that PC would not take from console sales.
Granted it doesnt include DL titles like Steam. But then VGC doesnt include PSN or XBL title DL either. And games like DA and AW or ME are all full title DL on XBL.
For example ME2 has sold a measily 170,000 in EU on PC. Hardly gonna affect the console wars.
DA2 was diabolicle on PC and well every PC game is destroyed by MMO PC games. MMO is the market for sales on PC.
Being available on PC is just not gonna affect the sales of 360 hardware or software much at all. If it does its unoticeable.

VGC tracking of PC software was really lackluster before the newest update and previously released PC games on here are in no way, shape or form tracked accurately. Of the top of my head, Portal 2 greatly outsold the console versions (even combined) if Steam sales are included. Maybe MMOs are the market for PC's in the UK but the market is so small over there it doesn't count. The rest of Europe+Asia support PC gaming much more than the english speaking nations.
I'm also pretty confident that DA:Origins sold at least as well on PC as the PS3 version, if not more than the 360 version. Look at Skyrim PC European sales for some incredible numbers week after week, without counting the very big digital sales (#1 selling on Steam almost constantly since it came out)

I'll ask in another way.
How many console sales do you tink 360 will lose with Alan Wake releasing on PC?
