By the time Mass Effect came out, you'd have to be willfully ignorant to believe Xbox games don't get ported to the PC. Halo, Halo 2, Fable, Gears of War, Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, all big Xbox or Xbox 360 exclusives and more importantly all of Bioware's recent efforts, were already ported to the PC. It's no secret Microsoft has such a practice.
It's also no secret the size of the console industry dwarfs the size of the hardcore PC gaming crowd, and the gap has only widened since consoles started taking on genres and features which used to be exclusive to PC gaming. While a good number of people who own gaming PCs probably own consoles, the inverse of a majority of console owners maintaining gaming PCs is not true, for some very understandable reasons of expense and convenience. To say that Gears of War didn't move, and continues to move, Xbox 360 consoles because of a PC version being available? No one would rightly believe such a thing. And that's the function of exclusivity.
And yet another word from our sponsors
