All we are saying is the market already decided they are competing with each other. I say this based on the fact that, well, a lot of PC owners have decided to NOT get an XBox because they can get a lot of the XBox games on the PC. Is it not direct when people look at whether or not to buy a PC for gaming or a console in the same way they might look at whether to get DSL as opposed to Cable internet service? Perhaps it's closer to "should I stick with dialup or go to broadband", but I would say it's pretty direct.
What makes you think it's so indirect? What makes you assume they are in different markets and that PC gamers would actually think to themselves "hey, Doom 3 on the XBox, exclusive? I should get an XBox!".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
