People seem to have the impression every noteworthy Xbox game is on PC. That's far from reality. |
But that is the actual problem after all. It is not the factual number of list exclusives, but the customers' impression that all XOne games will eventually come to PC.
It is for those people hard to justify a purchase of an inferior console which only has a few exclusives that all (in their impression) will come to PC in under a year.
Therefore, XOne's target market remains shrunk to people who don't want to fiddle with PC gaming, and are satisfied to pay the same price for a machine that plays all the same games as competition, but worse.
As we can see, that target market was never large, and is shrinking every week.
Once Halo MCC inevitably comes to PC in the second half of 2015, that target market will shrink even further. And this has a very high posdibility of happening, as MS leadership clearly supports their software departments more than some non-core, expendable hardware products.
