I give up.

£20 isnt pennies compared to anything.  Its £20... literally. 

It is only one less reason to a small minority of gamers.  Most buying this will be like you, people that wouldnt have bought an xbox one anyway. So it doesnt lessen the Xbox one sales in any measurable way imo.


I never said it lessens the sales in a measurable way but it affects it non the less. With the xbox lagging it needs gains not more minor losses. 

 

And don't give up so easily.  The reference to pennies is a figure of speech. Often used in the English language. Google the definition and you should get what I was saying. 

I'm English. 

If you had said its "loose change" or "pocket money" I would have let you off.  


I'm irish but I still have an understanding of the wider English language whether the saying came from the us,  or elsewhere.

This is a smart move as none of the Xbox One's exclusives are selling that much,not even halo collection.Fable has never been that big of a franchise and since it is an MMO I think it would sell more on PC anyway.

Surely it will come.

MS did say that Fable is just one of their games coming to PC. I wouldn't be surprised if they ported all of them (probably with a short delay on PC, like 3rd party exclusives do today).

Thats more likely to be Age of Empires/Screamride etc.

PC suited games.

I don't really understand the reasoning?

Halo was on PC. Gears was on PC. Alan Wake was on PC.

What has happened that all of a sudden they are no longer suited for PC?

Sorry, perhaps suited was the wrong word.

What I meant to say was, a lot of people tend to forget about the depth and breadth of Microsoft's bank of exclusives. Further, Microsoft's sense of what constitutes a large franchise is evidently different to the views of a lot of people on this forum.

I guess I was just highlighting that there is no real reason at this point to suggest Sunset Overdrive is going anywhere just yet.

They don't own Sunset Overdrive so it can go wherever Insomniac wants it to.That is part of the problem right there and I said years ago that M should just be a third party publisher.They would make more moneyand can set up Live on PC much like steam and release their games on the other consoles.All they do is push and promote third party games anyway and port their games to pc.I don;t see why anyone would have a problem with that.

You're referring to sequels. I believe Burek and the original poster were talking about the original Sunset Overdrive.

MS does not own the franhcise.So the original can go wherever.It would have a different name like Ninja Gaiden (Sigma) 2.Either way that is bad for Xbox to have one of the games according to the media and Xbox fans praise and a reason to won an Xbox go to the rival platform.Put it this way,if I wanted Sunset,I would just wait for the sequel to hit PS4 instead of being an Xbox or PC.Does it make sense for someone like me to buy an X1?

its a weird situation.

When Microsoft wasnt supporting Windows games for PC properly then fans cried out at Microsoft for it and said its a bad move and bashed them

Now Microsoft starts adding games to PC and its still perceived as bad to people

I view Microsoft in the same light I do Nintendo sometimes. They're in a no win situation no matter what they do

Pretty much this.

Microsoft and Insomniac have been pretty clear that the original game (and any minor variation to it) is exclusively on Xbox One. Anything beyond that is obviously going to require Microsoft's consent.
