The thing is, If developers try to make their game as secure as possible, then that means more security measures have to be enabled just to play. The legit gamers then gets pizzd off and the game earns a bad reputation and don't sale as well. Silent Hunter 5 (I think?) had a bunch of DRM stuff and requires you to be online just to playing a single player game.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

same deal with Diablo 3 which (apart from the game being garbage in its own right) is a huge turn off for a lot of people

Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?
I'll be seeing you face to face possibly next month.

I'm not going to be doing Excel spreadsheets on a laptop with a 12 inch screen or an iPad

This. Probably 99% of all the corporate/business laptops/desktops in the (western) world run Windows? Apple has a strong foothold in the graphics & music business, but thats about it?  Linux/Unix is non-existant, except servers of course?

No it's not and there really isn't any evidence to back up such a claim.  

ack-ack

Ok... I see I didn't quite phrase that clearly, my apologies.

The number of games available only on PC compared to the number of games that are multiplatform is diminishing.  Other than MMOs and sims, there are very few games that are PC exclusive.
