Not many. Even though PS3 fanboys love to claim they have a gaming PC to play awesome PC/360 games like Mass Effect and L4D, more than half of them probably have no such thing.

:| you dont even need to have a gaming rig to play Mass Effect, and even L4D
Totally different.. MLB 09 is on playstation platforms, Sony made the hardware, it owns the network.... Games for windows is just a standards lable thrown on the box. It's a set of rules that state that games must include identifiable specs in a certian way on the box and must support a control in some fashion, that is it.....all ms does is license the os... MS gets a cut of every gaem sold on 360 just like Sony does on PS consoles, MS gets squat on pc! IT's an open system....I can build a game or program using devC++ and SDL w/openGl and sell it, have it boxed up or sold on the web and ms gets nothing...zero, zilch...don't you people get it? MS does not own pc's they only licnese the os, dev studio, and office.Midnightshade29
... so, how do you expect to play a GFW game without a copy of Microsoft's Windows?
Well, playing devils advocate here, 360 owners can do the same with The Agency and FFXIV. Both are PS3/PC.

You could, but I haven't seen PS3 owners call those games their 'console exclusives,' either. Abd the OP, I have both. I only want Splinter Cell of your list. But it's nice to know that I have the option.
buy Microsoft exclusive games Like: L4D, Mass effect, Splinter Cell ect..?

l4d is made by valve and ms gets nothing from it mass effect is now ea splinter cell is ubisoft so none of those are ms exclusives. ms makes zero off any of those games on pc. ps3 is only good for the few ps3 exclusives everything else is far better on pc. splinter cell will come to ps3 just like every splinter cell game has.
but l4d mass effect are not games for windows games. l4d has nothing at all to do with gfwl it need steam which is gfwl's enemy. mass effect has nothing to do with gfw and unless ubi change neither will splinter cell as not a single ubi game is branded gfw let alone use gfwl.

... so, how do you expect to play a GFW game without a copy of Microsoft's Windows? sure you need windows but ms doesn't make a cent off any pc game that they don't publish. while with x360 about 1/5 of the price goes to ms.
I do have a gaming rig and I bought Mass Effect (highly disappointed in it) and Splinter Cell Double Agent but no recent game on PC has made me say "man I gotta have that" so I barely play anything on my PC besides work nowadays

your logics pretty flawed, there are most likely PS3/Gameing rig owners who dont own neither nor want it because its not appealing.A good tip would be to engage your brain before you speak xD.
TBH L4D doesnt appeal to me cause im fed up of Zombie games and i dont think its all to great a game.And i speak for myself and on the behalf of many others we aint got cash purely cause of other commitments and the fact its an economic slump so yeah there bound to be a lot of people like myself who only own 1 current gen console as its more sensible especially if your a student.
But pro tip : Engage brain then open mouth and you will most likely not talk nonsense like you do the majority of the time.
From what I've seen a lot of them do. But they also want Mass Effect 2 to go to PS3, which doesn't make sense.Next-Gen-Tec
they say they have one for SW but then show their true face by asking for an inferior game on the ps3, lets not kid each other here games as a rule are better on the pc, and people would only ask for these games on consoles if their pc's could not play them. (with some few crazy exceptions )

I use mine for stuff like Battlefield... However if MAG turns out to actually be good (I predict a fail) then I might just stop using my PC altogether...
