Well, no surprise at all, it has been the vision for MS since several years back but it is W10 that will make it a reality. MS will not care if they sell less consoles than the competition since the XBox fan base will span across PC, console, smartphone and tablet. Great times!


You call it great times, i call it the end of the Xbox console. If their exclusive software keeps going to PC and mobiles, there will be no reason to get an Xbox home console.

Well it takes more than exclusives to sell hardware, just ask Nintendo regarding WIi U (struggling to achieve OG Xbox sales). Is there really any concern of their notable exclusives coming to mobile? I mean seriously? Is someone waiting for Halo 5 on iPad?

Anybody who thinks a significant number Xbox sales will be lost by major MS exclusives coming to PC are simply out of touch with the average consumer. Sony is buying advertising for major games that aren't even exclusive and on PC. Some of which boost hardware sales more than actual exclusives. Hence, the PC and console audience are very different for the most part. Hence, there are forces stronger than exclusives that often sell hardware.

Throughout most of the 7th gen people on the interweb said, "don't buy a 360, all those games are gonna be on PC!" Now we are well into the 8th and I'm actually disappointed by how few 360 games we have on the PC. I mean c'mon MS, PC gamers are dying of old age without having seen how the Halo and Gears trilogies end.
