No, but if MS runs out of games guess where they will be moneyhatting? PC gaming would've never had a drought if the major PC games never entered the console realm. Id, Bethesda,Valve, Bioware, Epic, Bungie, Infinity Ward,  Blizzard, now CDProjekt Red and so many others? Don't tell me you haven't noticed. Even Sony is starting to try to do it to survive against MS with Warframe. I would hate to see how many PC devs jump ship next gen because of them both now.


I'm pretty sure in the long run, cheaper pricing and the appeal of visuals (not for me though since pricing is more vital for me) will keep PC gaming afloat.


PC gaming had the exclusives because consoles couldn't handle it back in the day. Sony threatened PC gaming by showing that they could up the tech at a mass market price and increase the marketshare. Before Sony it was just Nintendo running the console realm and PC gaming looking down laughing at all participants involved. Microsoft wanted to partner with Sony pissed their pants when Sony turned them down, joined the PC market to "Save it" from Sony while taking everything thats good about PC gaming (save for the RTS and MMO titles) with them to battle. PC gaming has always been superior. it all correlates, the fall of Japanese development, the unexplainable rise of western development and drought of PC gaming because they shared multiplats with consoles and eventually the rise of Steam, which brought PC gaming back. PC is great because it gives a lot of companies their start and its a very personal way to start up with gamers. Warframe was one of those games, built on the back of the consumer and now its settling into consoles. Based on my point that I made with Sony beforehand when they grew their marketshare and threatened PC gaming, this is the same thing the cheaper pricing of consoles keeps a barrier for the majority of people to invest into a gaming PC. For those who console game and want to upgrade more power to them, but it will be a minority.
