[PC] Decline of PC Gaming?

Yeah, what PC titles are there? Crysis is multiplatform? I don't recall reading that.
PC games are in decline, that's true. And that's basically the consoles fault. Cause, most game devs these days seem to develop their games first for the console, then for the PC.
I don't know the numbers, but it's probably because consoles have the bigger user base.
The number of PC only (or even PC first) devs is ever more shrinking. The only developer which I really think is very PC centric in its design philosophy would be Valve, but even they have something of a simultanous release of the Orange Box on all systems now.
Is it a good thing? As a long term PC gamer who actually grew up gaming on PC only it's kinda sad, but on the other hand, I'm glad that nearly every game I can have on PC is available on a console. I mean... I spent 350€ on an Xbox360. That thing will - in theory - last for five years (don't laugh, I said "in theory"!). If I spent the same amount on PC hardware, I wouldn't even have gotten ONE close to state of the art core piece (CPU / GPU ).
I'm officially through with PC gaming on the long run. It's too exensive, and too often a matter of "Plug'n'Pray". I won't upgrade my current gaming rig any more. Okay, it's a rather solid rig which will eventually last me for one or two years, but still. I don't want any more upgrades so I can play two or three games in a shiny resolution.
PC like titles on consoles? I bet Fallout 3 will be a multi platform release. But there are some things that just don't work well on consoles. RTS, or well, strategy games in general, at least not the same kind of strategy game you might see on a PC.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm currently trying to get a grip on dual analog controls in console FPS.
It's possible, but learning how use it PROPERLY is pretty frustrating, especially since it seems that most modern console shooters are trimmed to a pretty hardcore crowd, whose grip on the control scheme is of course some six or seven years beyond mine.
The only FPS'ish thing I've ever played on console was Metroid:Prime...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You see, the problem I have with those games, is that they're often very "obviously" console ports. Of course, mostly it's just a feeling, but to me a game developed for PC feels diffrent somehow than the umteenth X360 port with shoddy optimaztion and the "vibration[ ]" box still in the controls menu. (Yes I know, that option might be used for a plugged in X360 for PC controller or something...)
Still... It's a matter of "purity" if you want... Stalker for example was a pure PC game. Bioshock was very clearly not. It's that most games nowadays that are brought to PC are actually ports. And the "original game" is then usually meant to be played with a controller and not with WSAD-Mouse...
It's hard to explain I guess...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

And Bioshock is a 360 game that got ported to PC. Don't get that mixed in there.
(They said they'd develop it for both platforms at the same time, but IMO it's much more a console game than not...)
