Console gamers have a much easier time trying out games blindly thanks to used games - they come in, buy whatever is new, and in a week when they don't like it they take it back to GameStop for credit towards another one. Which is why you see about a thousand copies of Enter the Matrix or Halo Wars at every GameStop.
A lot of people think that console gaming is what video gaming is - as if it doesn't exist on the PC. The fact that a large number of people spend their day in front of a computer means they want to stay the hell away from them at the end of the day, so they'd rather sit on their couch with a controller. Net result is even if piracy didn't exist, PC gaming would still be a minority.
I see PC gaming going the way of vinyl in music - never goes away, and offers a superior experience, but is minuscule in purchase numbers and the rigs needed to experience it properly are the domain of the enthusiasts and the insane.
