Except no. Again, this is just a desperate rationalization in the face of your preferred console losing one of its biggest reasons to buy said console. Talk all you want about how this is an overall victory for Microsoft Studios, but depending on how well it sells on PC you might see more and more Xbox exclusives run on PC as well. And then suddenly poof.

 

Xbox is gone because there's no longer a reason for it.

You have done no research in your posts which leads me to think your not even serious. Your basing your facts off He said She said nonsense.

Let me explain it to you and prove you wrong just for the giggles. Microsoft have stated many times that Xbox is an important part of there buisness

As stated by the CFO, so whos word do i take here, the CFO to one of the biggest corpations in the world, or an unknown forum warrior claiming the end of a profitable gaming devision?

XB1 has 20m units sold to customers around the world, and basing Xbox off the past, this isnt the first time great AAA MS games crossed to PC. Halo 1, 2, Gears 1, Fable 1, 2 and afew others have all made it to the PC yet the XBox consoles are still around.. wierd why? Xbox biggest brand Halo made it to PC and yet the XBox version outsold it by miles.. interesting.

Hardware sales dont bring in the profit, Companies focus on where the money is. If your going to sell more games with a higher profit margin then selling consoles with less profit margin then the anwser is simple. Sell the games. QB will sell 500k on PC and maybe even more compared to selling 100k consoles where Xbox only make little to no profit what-so-ever.

Go on, i want you to buy QB on PC, go support MS and XBox while trying to downplay there own hardware, its funny reading these comments. MS make billions a month. Thanks for contributing.

 

You're basically supporting his side of it though, Azzanation. Read the bolded parts carefully. What benefits MS doesn't necessarily benefit xbox.
