It's definitely not huge, but anecdotally I have heard of more and more people doing this. More PC games support the use of an XBox 360 controller and more video cards have an HDMI out than ever before.

Also, this has been an unusually long console hardware cycle resulting in there being a much bigger gap between PC and console graphics.

Hundreds of thousands of people could play Braid on their PCs, how does that differs from playing Fez?

Is not about how many people connect their PCs to their televisions, but about how they enjoy playing their games. IMHO that does not justify the Microsoft exclusivity strategy.

My dad connects his Mac to the TV, but only uses it to watch pirated TV shows on YouTube...
