From what I see more and more games are released on PC such as Metal Gear Solid or GTA5. I assume that profit from PC games is higher than compared to console meaning less fees etc. Am I correct in this statement, anyone with some data care to comment ? :)

Only AAA games get released on consoles. All companies start with small games ON the pc, making their way top... for example take minecraft.

A larger amount of developers are moving to the PC platform, it's been an ongoing trend for awhile now.

It's thanks to wide PC gaming adoption, free game engines, and easier access to consumers.

Internet infrastructure plays a huge role. Also STEAM is very developer friendly and it gathers 90% of gamers.

Maybe lately because of the x86 blood running through the console's they think they can 'more easily' make those same games shine a little prettier on PC and enable more functionality with the brute force power available.

/Not that this happens,...porting can and is a huge mess too.

 

But they've been promising all kinds of things for years.... some benefits happen, some don't.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

All of the GTA games were always on PC and too. So bad example OP.

Devs don't matter, they work for Publishers who dictate what devs can and cannot do and how much time they have to do it ;)
