It seems stupid as to the recent events of AoE IV being announced for PC, yet some Xbox gamers want that game, but in this case, if an Xbox game goes to PC then they go to PC, but if it wasn't released there they wouldn't go there at all. So does that mean PC should have nothing to make it attractive in the first place?.

I always saw MS as the company that gave us Windows, not the company that came first with Xbox. They started out on PC and shunned it for a while when they tried chasing that console slice of pie, now they are diddled on that end and have to come back to PC. Really they are going back to their roots by releasing their games on PC, there is no reason as to why they can't (outside of exclusivity contracts, which are stupid and anti consumer to begin with).

 

Just switch to PC and go with what you want.

I think Microsoft went back to PC because steam figured out how to centralize the market and make billions when they couldn't. They will fail there too.When I left PC steam was just starting and Xbox was taking PC exclusives over to console. Once they dipped their hand in the bioware and valve cookie jar I jumped ship. Counter strike didn't take off on console though. I was hooked on halo. Sony and steam have the answer to how you dominate a platform space and Microsoft is struggling to emulate both.
