Look like the good guy? I dont think thats the goal.

Again, you seem to miss the point the point that PS4 is a direct competitor. The goal is not simply boosting software revenue, they also use major exclusives to move hardware and encourage people to use Windows Store. The Switch support thus far has been limited but they managed to get XBL on it.

And putting Halo on Switch would move HW or encourage Windows Store

I think youre saying PC has the library of a direct competitor? But I wont argue with that unless you choose to clarify your point.

Nope, I'm saying that PC competes with PS and Xbox for a public, it isn't a 1:1 competition. But there are plenty of customers that doesn't buy X1 because they are able to buy the MS games on a PC.

You just made an argument about PS3 sales not being hurt by removing BC, then you add the minor detail it came with huge price cuts. Also, 7th gen BC is more popular then 6th gen BC because there was a larger quanity of notable games, some still have active online populations.

Every single gen have had notable games, huge sellers and whatnot. Still people want to play the new shine thing. You may love BC, I may like it from time to time. But on the grand scheme of things BC doesn't break or make a deal for most customers. You just see that when X1 got BC the sales didn't move at all.

PS4 also had a reasonable price compared to PS3 at launch, thats partly why PS4 has done very well. Your arguments are terrible.

Let me put it this way. Did the X1 lose sales because BC? No. Did it gain sales? Very possible. Hence, we cant quantify it. The BC feature has been used by much of the audience, so its not crazy to assume it sold some hardware.

If you can quantify how much BC brought of sales to X1 please do it. We have the sales curve of both PS4 and X1, and with that we can see the increase in sales of a console without BC (PS4) and the how the curve changed because of BC on X1 (pricecuts shall be considered as well between both systems to see what is BC and what is price cut). Now please show how much did the sales increase because of BC.
