As long as the big exclusives like Halo and Quatum Break stay exclusive to Xbox only, I'm happy.

it will be on xbox regardless, so why would them going to PC bother you?

Those games won't sell nearly as many Xbox One's if they're also available on PC. IF Xbox One sales fall too far behind PS4, PS4 will start getting exclusives by default, which means less games for Xbox One owners to play in the future. In other words, full exclusives are a neccessary component of a console's long-term success. 

i fully agree with your statement, exclusives give VALUE to the consoles... since consoles cant compete in terms of hardware against PC they have to do it in terms of software, thats were exclusives come to place, if you were to take out the exclusives away from the console you would be DEVALUATING the product, people who bought the console for exclusives would feel cheated if they see those games go away, and people interested in its exclusives would lose that interest if the exclusives start going away.

and for those who ask the typical question:Metal Gear Solid 4 - Trophy Guide & Roadmap - PS3Trophies.org

"Why does it bother you that it goes to PC? do you enjoy the game less if its also on another Platform?"

the answer is very simple:

its not that we enjoy the game less, its that the value of the console we bought is going down, because its losing its exclusives, exclusives that were the reason we bought the console in the first place.

if the console i bought started losing its exclusives i would get pissed off, because i would just feel cheated and i would have wasted my money on the console, money that i could have spent on a proper gaming PC, to play  the better version of those ex-exclusives.

We've all been gaming long enough to know that that could be a reality. That is a risk you take when you buy a console. IMHO dont buy a console if you're not willing to take that risk.
