MS doesn't spend money? Relatively recently they bought Skype, Minecraft, Gears of War, fund sequels and new IPs, they also keep pushing Xbox inspite of the wishes of some stockholders.

I don't get the logic of some people, why does MS putting games on Windows make the X1 useless? They are simply giving you options. They want you playing their games anyway you want... as long as you're doing it with a MS product like WIndows or Xbox. Many console gamers aren't gonna buy a gaming PC so they also need Xbox to push those games. MS is pleasing console gamers and WIndows gamers, the average gamer is not both of those.

How many sales is X1 losing from putting games on PC? 10 million?100 million? People are getting worked about Xbox games on PC and we can't even measure what negative impact it has if any on the X1.

I highly encourage you to trade in your X1. Its still gonna be around for a while and trading it in can get in the hands of someone that will actually enjoy it. But you probably won't trade it, you'll just keep it and complain about it on forums because that's the life you've chosen.


lol this is not my life gaming and all related aspects as a whole maybe be 1%.  Now i see why you are so big on always pushing your pro xbox view, its life for you.  

They them selves are taking away reasons for gamers buying an xbox, MS ceo talking like he is gives peopel doubts about xbox console as a product worth investing it.  

Regular investments, not in line with you fantasy like claim of  "They have tons of money, they can take plenty of risks.'  

Well I wish gaming was a bigger part of my life, I would love to spend more time with my collection. Instead I'm here at work just responding to you.

MS has other products that make tons of money, I can see how that makes Xbox seem not so significant. Yet Xbox is still here and its part of WIndows 10. You focus on negative discussion about Xbox but disregard how MS still gives it a big push. I only push my pro Xbox views when guys like you are so down on it. Frankly, I'm pro Sony as well. I'm pro any company that pushes the types of games I enjoy. Look at my sig, I play a lot of Vita.

MS might turn some people off to X1 by putting their games on WIndows. But will it be a significant amount? Will it even be a million people? I don't think there are significant number of people that are console gamers and PC gamers. Which is why Sony is fine with having some of its major exclusives on PC as well. Sony even sold its online gaming studio because that audience wasn't worth much on Playstation consoles.

Investments can be made back. Look at the 360, it lost billions early on but appears to have been profitable. I doubt PS3 ever made a profit because they took some bad risks. I don't think the X1 is bleeding money like PS360 did, so it can still be a financially worthwhile endeavor. I bet Sony would have supported Vita better if it was selling like X1, am I right?
