Lets just point out the obvious. Fans of others platforms like to pretend every Xbox game is on PC so they can say Xbox doesn't have exclusives.

But, isn't the reality that there is not much pretending needed. In real life, there are actually only two major XOne exclusive that are not (or will be within a month) on PC - Forza 5 and Kinect Sports.

So, 60% of so-called "exclusives" are on PC. Of course, it is not every single one, but most people will gladly take those odds and wait out a game for 6-9 months.And hope that, based on history, those percentages will grow higher in favor of PC gaming.

And it is very shallow to call out "fans of other platforms", when this information is available to the entire general population, and to all more casual and brand-agnostic potential customers, which can use this data when choosing a console of their own. Should they buy WiiU or PS4 (depending on their genre preferences) knowing that they cannot play those exclusives anywhere but on those consoles, or should they choose XOne, the most expensive option, which has very few exclusives, and even those are available on other platforms outside console gaming?

Wait 6-9 months for the PC version... or about 7 years and counting in the case of Halo 3.

You think most people don't buy a Xbox console because they're waiting for a PC port? You're out of touch with the average consumer.

The average consumer doesn't care about exclusives by the way. Exclusives account for a relatively small chunk of software sales on Xbox and Playstation consoles.
