I know, that's why I said one or two yeas after its X1 release, when it's no longer a system seller.

Still, it's a shame the shift that MSoft did during this (already) past gen, where they decided to ignore the PC or even worse, treat PC gaming as competition.

So would you say the same about Sony(Or any developer for that matter)?  What makes them any different if so?  They have a computer studio and just like any other developer they could put their stuff on PC.  Or why not nintendo? Just because MSFT owns windows doesnt really justify anything.

Remember they're businesses and they will use what strategies they think are best.  This goes to Nintendo, Sony, and MSFT.

It's not the same.

Nintendo has never developed for PC or anything besides their own consoles besides their first arcade games, and the same goes for Sony. Microsoft, on the other side, was first a PC games publisher/developer (Age of Empires, Flight Simulator, etc.) that later on also became involved with consoles and a bit later killed its PC game studios (the ones of the games I mentioned above).

Besides, Remedy is not a first party studio, not even a second party one, so why can't they allow them to port it later on if they want? Allowing them to do it and making it Windows only would only benefit them because, as JerCotter7 has said, PC gaming is mostly Windows based, and launching their IPs on Win PC, would prevent Valve and its Linux based Steam Machines to gain enough ground to be a problem.
