I really don't think Nintendo can take sony on like microsoft can, Nintendo defenitly has it's fans though but I don't think they'll be able to have a "cool" product like ms or sony. Just because it's nintendo, I don't know how they could change their image. 

What Crapgamer said must have kept him lying awake at night.

Halo Wars wasn't on PC.
There was a Halo MMO that was PC/Russian Exclusive though, built from Halo 3's game engine.
Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike was on PC though.

It is a little more than that.

Steam today is massive. 125+ million active users massive (Some estimates put it at 150-200 million now)... There is Billions and Billions and Billions of dollars up for grabs if Microsoft can compete successfully with Steam.
Microsoft bringing Xbox Exclusives to Windows 10 will be exclusive to the Windows 10's store and not on Steam.

Remember, Microsoft is a business, business's try to make money, Microsoft already attempted to gain relevence in the PC space with Games for Windows Live, which flopped horribly. This however uses a little more vertical leverage to combat Steam and take marketshare away, the Windows 10's store doesn't have the "Xbox on PC" stigma attached to it either.

The other bonus is... Microsoft is also giving PC gamers a reason to own an Xbox over a Playstation, the PC market is bigger than the Playstation in terms of users, it's leverage, it makes business sense to lock people into the Microsoft Ecosystem, it works for Apple right?

It should also mean some good things for developers as well with some luck. Larger userbase, more money, hopefully bigger and better games in the future.

If a developer was going to port a game to PC they still have to port a game to PC. The still have to develope it. Nobody that isn't being paid off by Microsoft is going to give that away free, and even less are going to restrict there games to Windows store alone.

If porting was so easy AAA games like Gears of War wouldn't be a mess on PC. It's not that straight forward.

Humm, this is DEJA VU... went they annonce XBOX1 that kinect was mandatory...the gamer complain and MS back off. cough cough. 

Porting to PC is usually a secondary effort, not a primary one and in many cases is even outsourced to another studio entirely.

Porting is allot easier today than it was just a couple of years ago, code is now written for PC-like architectures even on Console, API's, Hardware... Doesn't matter. It's never been easier, Microsoft have even released developer tools to streamline the process between all it's platforms. (Windows 10, Xbox, Windows Phone, etc'.)

The Witcher 3 for example sold 30% of all copies on PC. That's 30% more millions of dollars to go towards the next game, not something that can be ignored forever can it?

Not all games will be given away for free in the Windows 10's store of course, in the early days of Steam did you know that Valve essentially gave away copies of Half Life 2 to everyone? It helped draw in users because of free stuff.
EA did a similar thing with Origin and still does with it's "On the House" scheme.

And nor did I say that *all* games will be exclusive to the Windows 10 store, Microsoft is trying to compete remember? Developers are still free to make their own choices, but Microsoft will give them incentives to be Windows 10 exclusive.

You are not familiar with Wright, it seems. You have fallen for his trap.
It is obvious that Nintendo isn't your thing, but that gif post kind of skirt the line. Such reactions only generate troubles. Let's avoid them.

I say this as one that owns every Nintendo console (except Virtualboy, lol): Nintendo and Sony are in no way rivals. I'm pretty sure Nintendo has said as much multiple times.

That is is a much better post than your gif.

And yes I agree. Nintendo and Sony have different kind of demographic.
