The main Civilization line is PC- and Mac-based; so far only Civilization Revolution has been spun off for the consoles AFAIK.

The obvious outlier to this is the Total War series, which is PC-only and sells by the bucket-loads. Although you could quite easily argue that they left innovation behind after "Rome", since the later games just include fancier graphics and ship battles, with no real new gameplay. Similarly, Civilization is a big-seller on PC, although I don't know if that's PC only.
I'm too lazy to search for the statistics, but I quite doubt that the last Total War game's sales were comparable to the top console hits of the time. Prove me wrong.

Looking Glass was a PCgames studio. Bethesda was formed as a PC games studio.
Also, Epic and Infinity Ward. Although since I dunno what you were getting at there I'm not sure if it helps or hinders your point.

No, I'm too lazy too :)

It's perhaps also worth pointing out that Empire: Total War only made it to number 8 in NPD's list of the top-selling PC games of 2009 in the USA. The Sims 3, of course, was the top seller.

God, can someone please change the thread title to "Interview with Paul Neurath" before my pedantry gland completely overloads?

While translating this interview to Russian for darkfate, it felt like reading confessions of a man who risked once, failed hardly and painfully, and who doesn't want to risk no more.
Unfotunately, all that stuff he told about "casual/social vs hardcore games", budgets and publishers etc. just gives him another point to proof his decision.
It's a shame for an inreviewer not to follow Paul and ask about in his approach for innovation in his today activities.

Interviewer having a sharp mind and good skills to tackle the situations at all.
