The PC easily has more exclusives than all of the other consoles combined. The barrier to entry for creating PC games is much much lower than that for a console, hence there are far far more games. The reason you don't hear about them as much is that because the barrier to entry/break even point is lower, they require a much lower budget, hence will have a much lower marketing budget too.
Aside from the games already listed above, start taking a look at the Indie games that are available on Steam.
There are also a lot of smaller Publishers that are PC only. Paradox is one of my favourites, they have a bunch of ridiculously complex strategy games as well as Magicka, Amnesia/Penumbria, Mount & Blade, King Arthur etc.
Also, don't forget that the PC is backwards compatible for pretty much all games for the past 20+ years. This also includes the ability to play the entire collection of games from pretty much all consoles (the one glaring exception is the xbox) up to the PS2.
