GTX 760 and R7 260x for min? Yeah, I don't think Xbox sales are going to suffer...

I think this is a misperception. It's not that this release, in particular, is going to sway anyone (at least, of any real significance). It's about the accumulation of releases that are no longer X1 only.  I know many will say "oh, I don't see the big deal, this is better for the X1 anyway", but the truth is, if the Xbox One cannot be marketed as having games Only On It, it will have a problem in the future being a strong sell. It's not just about people with no current gen machine, but PS4 owners, Wii U owners, and PC owners. Plenty of them don't have the machine, and with this kind of news, they have even less of a reason to buy one.

That said, don't misunderstand me, I don't expect all, non-PC owning, Wii U/PS4 owners to suddenly go buy expensive PC parts over buying an X1. That would be crazy talk. But, it leaves an aura about the Xbox brand that says "just wait for the PC version" - to either be announced for day-and-date, or for a future release.

I get that, but it is a good scare tactic.
