even though i was a PC gamer last gen (yes, i didnt own a PS2. sue me), i find that the lack of games on the PC right now is what drove me to abandon it.
sure, there's indie and Steam and whatnot. but those third-person action adventure type games like Max Payne, etc. can no longer be found on PCs. games like Soul Reaver, etc. and Tomb Raider has gone down the drain. Devil May Cry has also gone down the drain (and will sink deeper thanks to Ninja Theory).
where on PC will you find games like Uncharted, or Metal Gear, or God Of War?
PC right now is plagued with poor console ports, mindless FPS, gazillions of mindless MMOs, etc.
i could only count the decent titles. what's keeping it alive are indie devs. most of the big-budget or proper games are all gone. in the past the PC versions were not held down by the consoles.
add the fact that the PS3 has tons of exclusives that are not only guaranteed to be good games, but vary enough to be different from one another.
the PS2 was awesome because there were ALOT of third-party games. exclusives, but they were third-party.
but now third-party are mostly multiplats. so PS3's first-party really shines. especially games that have been released in the past 3 years or so. it started with MGS4 and just skyrocketed from thereon. after MGS4 we had KZ2, UC2, Ratchet Crack in Time, GOW3, Heavy Rain, MAG, Yakuza, Modnation, LittleBigPlanet, inFamous, etc. just plain nasty.
