im pretty sure the 3 gears are on pc unless im wrong?

No Gears of War 1 got released like 1 or 2 years after they originally released it on 360.  No other gears game is on PC.

Gears of War is the best X360 franchise why put it on pc? Microsoft i dont get you.

Because they wanted people to use Windows Live.  It was marketed to get Windows Live going and it was a good strategy other than people not liking windows live.  PC is not Xbox 360's competitor considering that I think 80% of the PC market is using Windows.

It is the same reason they've allowed games like Halo 2 Alan Wake, fable 3 on PC.  It's not their competitor.  but notice they dont put the entire franchise on their.  This is in the hope that if you like those games enough you will buy and xbox to play the rest of the series.  They also never release those games at launch.  They always rerelease them about a year or 2 afterwards when the sells have stagnated
