It's highly relevant for that someone wants to play a big gorgeous spectacle game on their big-screen HDTV.

PC is a system choice to play GoW or Mass Effect. It's that simple.

See above. If I'm playing a PC game, I'm sitting at a desk with a monitor a foot or so from my face, clicking a keyboard and/or sliding a mouse around. The experience is very different from what I get sitting in the middle of the room in front of my 62-incher. Might as well throw DS's and PSP's into the discussion.
If a person's dedicated to playing games on a PC, then they're not in the market for a console to begin with. They're not the target audience for exclusives. There's no allure. They don't want to play an FPS on with a controller. For them, the option to play Halo or GoW on their computer in the only option they care about. Of course, the fact that MS has that market helps them to afford exclusives in the first place.
