I forgot about Black! It was launched with a lot of hype but never gained much traction.
At that stage, console shooters were primarily obsessed with Halo while Black was a more hardcore FPS that would have done better if it had launched on PC (and there never was a PC port). Back then, PC and console shooters were very different, a trend broken by Gears of War, which though 3rd person kinda became the gameplay benchmark for the cross-platform FPS games that would eventually emerge.
Every time I mentioned the platforms I kept almost writing PC, because you're right, it just feels like a game that would have been on PC and then ported to consoles, too.
