Oh dear...look, I don't want to be rude, I understand that you're quite young, so you have usual cockiness of someone in his early 20s, but you should really check facts before posting randomly.
As someone who's twice (and then some) your age and been PC gamer since '95 (computer gamer since early 80s), I was actually there when titles like Doom, Half-Life and Baldur's Gate released (all of those accidently are some of my favourite games) - those were all PC franchises that later got either ports, sequels or, in BG's case, spin-offs on consoles...which console is quite unimportant, since focus of my previous post is that those titles are originally PC IPs.
As for PS2 and Xbox - PS2 was very, very important console for western devs heading into console market, but Xbox was something that PC devs understood quite well and could easily work with, making both PC and Xbox versions of their games without a lot of trouble. 360 built on that, and biggest legacy of Xbox, IMO, is that now (more or less) all consoles are PC-alike.

Was taking a dig at his age necessary to prove your point that he was wrong? You could have just posted a source to prove him wrong.

Given his tone in last part on his post, while being completely uninformed, plus his general tone in the thread...yeah, I say it was absolutely necessary.
