I think there is too much focus on sales of X1 hardware in this thread. What I think many of us, who are positive about these news, mean is this:
- Yes, this might indeed lead to the X1 having fewer sales compared to if they would have had the games only on the home cosole
- But this will also lead to the Xbox fanbase growing, since games on X1 also will be on PC, meaning I as a gamer, have the potential of being part of a gaming community of many more millions compared to if I was only confined to other gamers on the imeconsole.
fI this means that the X1 ends up selling 30 million copies, while the XBox fanbase grows to 130 million thanks to PC, there is no incentive for MS to stop making X1´s, since it will have a big enough userbase to motivate releasing games on it. It will get them to their goal; to have a gaming platform in the hands of everyone, no matter where they are. And it will mean higher software sales=bigger profit margins.
The only thing that worries me, is how third partieswill react? Will they be more hesitant to release games on X1? Will they look into cross-buy?
