right now Sunset Overdrive is the only thing preventing me from selling my Xbox One. the devs are even on board to port it but Microsoft wont allow them to

are you going to play SO forever? just sell it when you're finished.

I just don't like PC gaming personally

Why?

I use to play games on my PC but too many things ruin it. First, I like a controller a lot more than keyboard and mouse and yes I know you can use a controller for PC, but if you want to play online you must use keyboard and mouse or else you will get owned in a lot of games. Second, there is a lot of hackers and cheaters on pc compare to consoles. Third, sometimes third party gives you really bad ports or the game just won't run properly and I have to do a lot of setup/configurations. Fourth, I find console a lot cheaper. There is more I can list, but those are just the basics.



I assumed you were always on PC.

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.

So to dominate means you take everything from anywhere?.

Honestly PC has it's own games, has had for years. I was never into TF2 on consoles because I saw how the game lacked in terms of support and communtiy compared to where it had originally came from. Games I've played on consoles 5-10 years ago are dead thanks to official server shutdowns, while on PC they are kept alive either via a company choosing to keep them alive or private servers, either way it was what kept me tied to PC in one way, rather than simply packing up all my bags and moving entirely to 360. As soon as current gen started out I fully moved to PC since all my friends were doing the same. Even when I fully moved, I still didn't feel like I was lacking anything major that would keep me from moving.

Devs these days know they have to release to multiple platforms, even those that take those exclusivity contracts, who end up taking said games to another platform in the end one way or another (besides 1st party titles for the other two non MS systems).

I can't see MS retaking either market, but it's better to try keeping both going or the one that's not closed off entirely.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

I don't play pc games. I don't have the hardware and I hate keyboard/mouse. The last pc game I played was Starcraft 2 and maplestory.

I hope ms brings all their games to not only windows but steam as well since. The more people playing their games the better. Better game sales will = higher budget for Xbox in my opinion.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

THey will fail at trying to compete with steam but they can try. With that said, it will open up other opportunities. You cannot bring PC gamers over on consoles unless they favor consoles and the only reason PC gamers buy console is because they are gamers who don't want to miss out on exclusives. Xbox got me to come over to consoles cause they took the key PC games I was playing to console during the og Xbox era.Windows live failed then because they didn't realize PC gamers wouldn't pay for it. As I said back in 2008 console gamers will foot the bill for Xbox live on PC in the future and steam just gave them the blue print to succeed. The problem is that steam revitalized PC when Microsoft abandoned them. Now Microsoft is pulling a full 180 and can't even mask it because they have little to no exclusives. It's a sad ovcurance because just like the zune they will fail. I'll get my gears and halo fix though. 

1st Problem is not everyone is a pc gamer. 99% of games are on all systems (ps4, xbox one and pc) and yet the games still sell just as well if not better most of the time on consoles. Consoles are a lot more convenient. Second, you're still giving money to Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't care how you get their games or services, as long as you do on xbox or pc. Microsoft doesn't make a lot of money selling harware, in fact no one does. They make money off of accessories, services, games,ect. 

I understand that not everyone wants a PC but i am flexible enough to go in between without issues. Microsoft wants to dominate the PC and console market. If Sony didn't dominate the console with their own brand of computer based entertainment Microsoft probably would not have branched out. Steam in its current state is what Microsoft wanted for the windows platform. They are going to go after every dominant brand until they spread themselves and their resources thin.

No. Xbox was traditionally my secondary console since the og Xbox. I made it my primary during the 360 era until Sony fixed their issues of arrogance. Once they did that it was back to secondary for them. This gen they are my third console and the switch is my second. GAmes are always first to me. All brands have to do is be true to the consumer on the games front and they should be fine.

They won't bring their games to steam. It would be a signal of defeat for windows 10 Xbox. They are following EA in campaigning against steam. you do know you can use a controller for games on PC though right?

People say you can use a controller on PC - not in MP games, unless you want to get destroyed.
