If you think that the console you bought would be worthless if the exclusive titles were ported to the PC, then perhaps you should also realise that the console was a poor purchase to begin with. At this point, your reasoning feels like "if I made a bad purchase, at least force others to make a bad purchase as well!", and that is not a constructive viewpoint.
Plus, buying consoles just for that encourages the vendors to continue their lobbying for console-exclusive titles. And that's just bad. It's artificial restrictions again, limits of freedom again. It shouldn't be encouraged in any way.
Personally I would love to have an opportunity to play Unreal Championship and Unreal Championship II. But it's not at all worth buying a whole (original) Xbox for, and supporting Microsoft in the process.
