Lets say hypothetically every X1 exclusive comes to PC. X1 still has the advantage of being a cheaper device than a gaming PC. Also, X1 doesn't become less entertaining because those same enjoyable games are else where.

Anyhow, I doubt we'll be seeing heavy hitters on X1 coming but I'm all for it it happening eventually. Windows brings in more money than Playstation and Xbox combined. Don't be surprised if MS gives WIndows better support.

People won't see the point in buying a $350 machine to play games they can play on a pc or even their mobile. They would rather just buy a PS4, which is what most people are doing these days anyways. 

X1 is still fun to play on, but it doesn't have many selling points or advantages compared to the PS4. You'd think MS would realize that their struggling console needs exclusive exclusives and not just console exclusives to start selling better. But yes, as you said, MS cares about money, and bringing their games to other platforms will earn them lots more money then just keeping them on the X1. 

You're ignoring one minor detail. Most people don't have PC or mobile devices that can handle X1 titles. Nor is that ideal way to play games for many. And if Windows/X1 is getting exclusives not coming to PS4, that means Playstation fans are still coming to MS.

X1 isn't just a struggling console, the console gaming industry is a struggling business. Even with PS4 on top this isn't the most profitable Playstation has ever been. Especally with the death of their mobile gaming market. Sony is trying new things like PS Now and PS Vue to expand. Nintendo is making phone games because much of their audience is now playing phones games. Basically, everybody in the console gaming business realizes that userbase is getting smaller. MS bolstering Windows gaming is an obvious move to make given Windows is still a big earner.
