Exactly,you buy the system that YOU think has more bang for your buck. You like the system`s exclusive games and you buy them. That is great.
For me,I like that MS gives me all the Pc games on my 360 so I don`t have to upgrade my Pc. I like the exclusive games MS gives to the 360 and I like online play.
But tell me...when MS stops the Pc ports of 360 games,what will happen? MS closed Age of Empires and Flight Sym developers and are not interested in Pc gaming any more. They are not making money off Pc games,but they are making money off 360 games (royaltes,online fees,downloads).
The way I see it,they are going to jam all Pc exclusives in Games for Windows and say "goodbye Apple OS" and save all the good games exclusivly for the 360 (goodbye Sony). Was that difficult? Will that be difficult?
Pc piracy and expensive optimisation of Pc games (many systems around,many parts,many bugs -> GTA4) are an Ace for MS,that will be very valuable in the long run. Casual gamers buy games (see Wii) and trust me,when they look at the price and games of the 360 (not now,in the future) they will buy a 360 and NOT a Pc and buy games for the 360 and NOT for Pc.
Hardcore gamers buy Pc games,but they also can/will pirate Pc games because they have the know-how and in short,is very easy to pirate Pc games. So the future sales of Pc games is not that bright,because if you are not WOW and have a subscription based game,you will not generate impressive sales. Plus,you have the game`s budget to recoup and make a profit. Why is MS leaving the Pc market if they have profit? They don`t have it,that was the point.
I am not Patcher,but you can`t say I speak false. Pc revenue is down every year to year and is going to get worse,because even the hardcore players that are paying for Pc games move to console to save the upgrading cost,while the ones the upgrade pirate to...you gueast it...save the upgrading cost (recouperate).
And these words are from the mouth of a hardcore Pc gamer that will play Starcraft 2,Diablo 3 and...more Pc exclusives and that is it...I have my cheap 360 for everything else.
