Depending on what year you put Minecraft in, 2009 when it was first made public, or 2011, when it was "officially" launched (though at that point it wasn't PC exclusive anymore), that could be the one that wins.

Not that PC won't have some really great exclusives going forward, but yeah, generally speaking, most PC devs and publishers went multiplatform, some with OG XBOX, like Bethesda and Bioware, some few years later with PS360, so really slim chances of PC exclusive winning again for quite some time (unless VG Chartz harbours secret cults of ARMA, Witcher 1, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, SPORE, Machinarium or something like that).

2009 had Demon Souls come out, 2011 Dark Souls, Minecraft will have stiff competition in either year.
Minecraft is really big, yet the term souls like is even bigger, gets thrown around all the time.

Stalker vs Bioshock / Uncharted / Super Mario Galaxy. Not a chance.

There's League of Legends and Roblox that are huge on PC, doubt they'll gain much traction here.

Yeah, as I said, unless there are some secret fan clubs around here for some of those PC exclusives, there are extremely slim chances that any of them will be even close to winning.

As for Minecraft - honestly, I'd take Souls anytime over it, but being the best-selling game of all time (by a quite a wide margin), Minecraft is almost in a league on its own, anyway you look at it.
