I still love how people use something 2 generations ago as a rebuttal. They did it with GTA? LMAO you must be joking right? They didn't do that with GTA, they just didn't release GTA on Xbox, but GTA did still come to Xbox.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO, Windows continues its PC gaming dominace. Oh you are so funny, I laughed so hard when I read that. Sure whatever you say, somehow Steam winning = Windows winning. Sigh....people these days.

And AGAIN holy shit, you don't get it do you? PC gaming is growing and these PC gamers need reasons, ie exclusives to buy consoles. So tell me, if all these exclusives are coming to PC why should they buy a Xbox? It is actually hurting Xbox because these PC gamers who aren't stupid can tell Microsoft doesn't understand the word exclusive and they will choose PS4 over Xbox because there are more real exclusives on PS4 than XBO. Tell me, how many Microsoft published games on the 360 eventually came to the PC? TONS. How many Sony published PS3 games came to PC? 1, Joe Danger, a indie game. Sony knows what the word exclusive means, Microsoft doesn't.

I mean holy crap, if you actually read what I said, this conversation would have avoided.

 

My question is just how many PC gamers also purchase consoles? Microsoft doesn't see PC as a competing platform, only the other consoles. Therefore when they say XBO Exclusive you should take it to mean not on the other consoles. The PS4 has plenty games that are also on PC or coming to PC as well. They showed plenty of indie games that are on PC but touted how it was exclusive to their console. Some of those were later said to just be timed exclusive to their console as they will come to Xbox later. 

I think Microsoft is in a weird place with PC gaming. Listening to Phil it's like they feel a need to make some of their games available to PC. Plus last gen we would hear the argument of how they didn't support the PC crowd anymore. They gave them Halo and Gears and they heard "Hah we don't need to buy an XBOX now!" so they stopped. Also let's look at the games in question, Dead Rising has always been multi-plat and this time it's not going to any other console. Then we have Ryse which was thought to be an average game with pretty graphics, which is typical Crytek, and that is now going to PC and no other console. Last but not least we have Tomb Raider which has never been exclusive and it is timed-exclusive for the XBO. I don't see what the big deal is with that when I hear people talking about the timed DLC Sony has with Destiny like it's the biggest coup in in recent gaming history.
