I still think they'd have to be completely mad to put it on PC. "Hey guys, let's take our biggest system seller and put it on the most openly available platform so people don't need to buy an X1!"

They probably budgeted for it to sell 8 million copies...and it's hard to do that when you don't have even 6 million consoles in homes, so they decided to port to PC to try and break even on the project.

The budget would have to be $200m+ for them to need 8m sales... There is no way in hell it could cost that much. Even including marketing costs they could remake all 4 titles at a truly next gen level for that amount of money (not the glorified 7th gen visuals they are producing for Halo 2).

I really doubt it's true (the comment from Frankie also seems to imply it isn't). It wouldn't make at sense at all.
