Good move for Microsoft. Regardless of where consumers buy the game, Microsoft will benefit. Even if they diminish the value of the XBO, they'll be increasing the value of Win 10 (which they value more internally).

I can see this happening more often in the future with their exclusive games.

It really is a great strategy when you think about it. Vast majority of console gamers arent going to give a shit about a PC version, and they make more money off Windows 10 and its services than on hardware sales. 

I dont have 10 yet, waiting before i do the upgrade. More of these "buy the game on Xbone, get free W10 version" would make me upgrade a hell of a lot faster.

Exactly. Also, looking at the recommended specs, it's obvious that if you have a PC that powerful there's no reason to believe that a PC owner wouldn't wait for the PC version to release. So it's not like they'll be cannibalizing XBO QB sales all that much, especially with cross-buy. Honestly, I see absolutely no negatives to this deal at all.
