How many new PC exclusive titles are AAA experiences with new IP's and single player focus? So, without sales trick(its good for short term but its going to make big impact on mentality of the consumers in the long run) they can't generate the money for develpers right?

How many non first party AAA new ip single player exclusive games are there on any one console? Unless a first party is footing the bill there are no AAA single player exclusives on any platform. If you are launching a AAA single player new IP you are going to want it on every platform you possibly can. And if you read my post you would know that all data available indicates that sales lead to long term increases in spending and revenue. The PC market has never been healthier and is generating more revenue than ever. Your personal opinion on the games is entirely irrelevent.

Why 3rd party should make single player AAA exclusives for Consoles only? when they can sell that game in PC too because consoles are similar to PC architecture now and thirt parties are there for money first.

But consoles have its firsty/second party spending so much time and money to create new AAA experiences for pushing the game industry and help retail sector, but i dont see this hapenning in PC at all other than F2P style games and Indie games. Without consoles I ont see AAA games(which is the only thing than can push PC High end GPU's) being created in PC sector with single player focus.

PC is generating money for developers through their Indies, F2P and old games re-release for many publishers but not moving AAA gaming.
