Exactly they wait for the console version to sell as much as possible and then port it to PC to get the money from some non-Xbox owners, while hoping that one of the series might take off on the PC. If it doesn't take off, they will just stop porting the series.
Halo CE and Fable surely did good, so they brought Halo 2 (which unsurprisingly didn't sell gangbusters on the PC) and Fable 3 (though I don't know why they didn't try it with Fable 2).
