In terms of this game specifically, it matters not a bit. The game is not a system seller so it's better to make money from selling to as many people as possible without putting it on an actual competitor's platform.

What if they start bringing Forza, Halo and Quantum Break to PC?

Forza isn't a major system seller, but it is a strategically important game for Xbox as it's an exclusive racing sim. Forza Horizon OTOH I see as not at all strategically important and it could well go onto PC without any real impact on Xbox. Halo, no that should stay exclusive to Xbox. Though the legacy games should probably make their way to PC at some point. There's no hardware sales advantage to keeping last gen games exclusive. If people know that Halo 5, for instance will only come to PC once the Xbox one 2 is launched that will not diminish Xb one sales. Only people who are somewhat interested in Halo will wait that long to play Halo 5, and those people are not going to fork out to buy an Xb oneto get Halo 5 earlier. In particular PC gamers who have plenty to game with, and free online, are not going to buy an Xbox to play a Halo game on console for the first time ever with Halo 5.

Quantum Break will go to PC if it doesn't really do as well as hoped on Xb one.
