Yeah, as a Nintendo fan that couldn't care less for most of what Sony and Microsoft produce, I agree. In the past, I got a PS2 to play all the many Japanese exclusives that platform got, but nowadays, between the current multiplatform trend and the increasing Japanese support for PC (not to mention handhelds here), I honestly don't see much point. Of course, my gaming budget is quite limited anyway, so I was never part of the target audience... (and I still don't have a WiiU...) Eventually I'll upgrade my PC for more than just gaming though, and take advantage of that.
For the record, there's a very good chance of Metal Gear Solid V coming to PC:

As well as Final Fantasy XV:

With even niche games like Killer is Dead, King of Fighters XIII, Deadly Premonition, Record of Agarest War, etc getting a PC release as well as a lot of what Capcom does, indies like Mighty N9, Recettear and Yatagarasu, and a few specific cases like Binary Domain, Naruto UNS 3, The Last Remnant, Revengeance, Ikaruga, etc, the will of Japanese developers to expand to PC seems to be there. And the more they use multiplatform engines, the easier it gets for them to do so.
Personally, I have to say that I'm not a fan of this "homogenization" that the industry is going through as I've always believed in the potential that exclusives have to be more polished experiences overall as well as taking advantage of specific hardware features, but since that's unfortunately where the industry is going, at least I'll take the good side of it...
