So really, thats an admission that PS can't stand up by itself against Xbox?

Because in a strict PS vs Xbox debate, neglecting these types of games seems silly. Bringing in a PC to fight PS battles.....thats what these types of replies sound like.

No. You can't play PS3 games on PC... you need the PS3 for most of games.

You can think in this way: 360 + PC vs PS3 + PC what give you more games? Remember EVERYBODY HAVE A PC.

Just because you have a PC doesn't mean you can play any PC game on it.  My PC is a low-end laptop that can't play AAA games, or at least can't play them at high graphics settings, which is one of the main reasons one would game on a PC IMO.  Even for a game like Minecraft I'd rather play on 360, since I get achievements and since the multiplayer is easier to set up.  I have zero interest in spending the time or money to build a fancy-schmancy rig that can keep up with next-gen titles, and I don't want to have to think about hardware upgrades (outside of buying additional storage devices, which looks like something I'll have to do this coming generation no matter what platform I play games on); I want to play games on a platform that lets me get into my games with little hassle and doesn't make me learn a whole bunch of technical jargon.  And even if I mind learning the technical stuff, I don't have the money to invest in two platforms (at least not right away, or when one of them is PC which is more expensive hardware-wise than console).

So just saying "well everyone has a PC, so why buy an Xbox" isn't gonna cut it.  For people like me who are console-only, it doesn't matter if an Xbox game is available on PC, because PC gaming is not on our radar at all.
