I am unsure about Gears. I know that Halo is currently THE series that represents the Xboxes. It is very hard for console companies to get game series that feels unthinkable on other systems, MS was lucky they bought Bungie before they released Halo on Mac, or Halo would never have rocketed the Xbox.
Does Gears of War feel unthinkable on other systems the way Sonic felt unthinkable on non-Sega systems before Dreamcast died? I know there is a PC version of Gears 1.
What I'm saying is that MS needs games that will instantly feel like Xbox games, and it's better if MS creates their own studios to make these games rather than to buy third party studios that make games that feel like you can have the same experience elsewhere.

Gears of War exclusively on a Microsoft system.
Where's your problem ?
|
PC is not a Microsoft system. Sure, Windows is a Microsoft platform, but how does Gears getting a PC version help it represent the Xbox360? It sure isn't helping the Xbox brand that MS is trying to build for consoles, and even if it was exclusive, you're missing my main point.

And Halo on Mac helped it? You aren't making much sense
|
Halo was never released on Mac. Had it been released on Mac, it would not have been a game series associated with the Xboxes like today.
