Though, when VII and VIII first came out, PCs weren't really all that common in homes and were much more expensive. That's not so much the case today.
I think newer games would do well on PC as there's serious lack of quality JPRG's on this platform since, well, ever. I highly doubt porting one of their games on PC would cost as much and they could offer it on steam thus avoid the cost of printing and shipping hard copies, although Gabe Newell would take his percentage =)
