its a weird situation.

When Microsoft wasnt supporting Windows games for PC properly then fans cried out at Microsoft for it and said its a bad move and bashed them

Now Microsoft starts adding games to PC and its still perceived as bad to people

I view Microsoft in the same light I do Nintendo sometimes. They're in a no win situation no matter what they do


Not exactly. They could have developed exclusive games for PC and exclusive games for xbone. What they're doing is really hurting xbone no matter how people have been trying to spin it. It gives the impression to potential buyers that there's not much reason to own an xbone, as pretty much everything will eventually come to pc. Even if you have no interest in Dead Rising or Fable, it still affects the consumer's perception of the console.

IF they have a gaming pc or are interested in gaming on a pc.

When are people here going to stop thinking all console gamers also game on PC?  they dont... not even close, thats a trait pretty much distinct to gaming forum dwellers.  The vast majority dont, thats why they have consoles.  They prefer the console experience.


This is exaclty my case - I have quite a decent PC with good specs - for work. I don't have a dedicated GPU and probably won't ever do that again. The market for PC went down many years, most people nowadays buy laptops or tablets to do their "internet stuff".

But these people aren't that active on forums so if you are active on forums you get a wrong picture of how many people actually play on PC.

I decided to play on consoles intentionally. Given that I sometimes use an emulator on my PC to replay some of my classic games.
