So they would make money on Forza Horizon 2 then. 

Indeed, but they wouldn't make a cent from say... Half Life 2.

Lastly, the PC is a larger market than the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and WiiU currently, there are more gamers, there is more money floating around, so if a game was expensive to make, you would be silly to exclude the largest and "fattest" platform, these are business's not charities afterall.

I know that there are tons more people who have PCs, but the sales for console style games seems much lower than even on Xbox One doesn't it?

That's because PC gamers generally like PC games, not console games.

Think about it, Call of Battlefield: Generic Warfare sells like hotcakes on consoles, but only relatively modest on PC.
Yet if you glance at something like... League of Legends or Dawn of the Ancients 2, their fanbases are monolothic and fanatical.

That's not to say console games don't have a place on PC, games like Skyrim and Oblivion (Origionally Elder Scrolls was a PC exclusive franchise.) sold incredibly well.
Then you have games like Diablo 3, which sold better on PC than all console paltforms combined.

 Lastly, PC game sales tends not to get tracked by the likes of VGChartz, how could it when the majority is sold digitally and never disclosed? Not to mention, PC games have longer legs.
For example... Lets take the origional Fable, it was released on PC over a decade ago, sold fairly well, then it was brought to Steam, sold some more copies for little effort, then every time it's on sale, the sales rate picks up dramatically hitting the top of the sales charts, over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if the origional Fable sold better on PC than on Xbox. - That's in stark contrast of a console game, where... After release it pretty much falls into obscurity never to be heard from again.

Besides, most of these "games" already have most of their costs sunk into the initial development for the consoles, porting to the PC is generally not a hard or dubious task, so the sales on PC are generally mostly profit, not to mention a developer receives more profit for a game sold on PC than console anyhow. (I.E. No Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft tax.)
