All of the good games aren't on PC. In fact, the PC has very few big-budget exclusives anymore. You can easily catch 90% of the good stuff that comes to PCs by owning a 360. |
That's wrong. Xbox 360 "has no" good Simulation, Adventure and Strategy games, and has a much weaker selection of RPGs, Casual, Puzzle/Parlor and Racing games. Heck, even 360's best genre (Shooter) is better on PC.

How many big-budget PC-exclusive sim, adventure, and strategy games have been released lately that were actually good? A few, maybe, but those are all niche genres anyway (outside of any game with Will Wright or Sid Meier's name slapped on it, anyway.)
In addition, the only good PC-exclusive RPG I can think of this past year was The Witcher, and what racing games are on PC that are so much better than those on the 360? (I'm honestly asking, because I'm not familiar with the genre.)
As per casual and parlor games, those aren't exactly "big-budget."
Finally, the only successful PC-exclusive shooter in recent memory is Crysis, and that was more of a graphical tech demo than anything else.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
