There are may pc games that i love, but some of them would rock more and be more accessible on a home console. Such as minecraft, lets say that you have a 360, it would be much easier to play online with friends, no servers, or things like that, and also, the graphics would be improved. Tell me your opinions on this.

Err what?
The graphics aren't anything special, nor the focus of Minecraft. PC is far more capable of having better graphics than a console and having servers is generally more helpful in PC games.
Minecraft is applicable to consoles, but SW:TOR as an MMO and button-bashing game certainly isn't, Age of Empires?
... It's an RTS... with Hotkeys.

Hint: Unless you have over 20 buttons you can use on a Console you can't expect to play even decently on an RTS, I'll give you 20 keys I use on my Keyboard to play SCII for example:
F1, F2, F3, F4, CTRL-F5 (5)
S, D, R, H, Z, V, E, U, B, P, M, C, (12)
Oh, not to mention numbers 1-0.
Some letters, as in B, C, V, F, and E are used on more than one occasion.

I've seen the possible hotkeys for Age2, and I've played it - without them you would die to someone who can use them fluently. It's really that simple.

Terraria? Even so, you need to aim with controls that would appear quite rigid with the Xbox.

Star wars Jedi Knight series. I think it would be more fun on console. Battlefield 2 maybe they could add a better single while they're at it.
Aaand not minecraft

There are servers, just no dedicated ones, which would be so extremely terribly bad for minecraft.

Most games i play on PC are shooters, and I'll always prefer to play most of those on PC rather then xbox.

This is a bad idea. Minecraft is still accessible to play with friends, just not ten or more like many other games. There are servers, they just aren't dedicated servers. Creating dedicated servers would strip away the originality in Minecraft. And about the graphics, I personally love the way the graphics are from the start. It's different from all the top-notch graphics you see nowadays; it returns you to the old-school 8-bit graphics.
Not to mention, Minecraft is free forever aside from the initial purchase. If you wanted to enjoy it online, for Xbox you would be forced to pay for membership--that contradicts one of the biggest reasons Minecraft is sought after in the first place.

I have played AOE 1&2 and never used hotkeys and can still easily win most games I play
