| KingofTrolls said: Its all good in scenario u created, but might be hell in other cases. U dont play on PC, u like MS games and dont like Sony games, so Xbox obviously is the best choice for u. People with decent PC and PS4 who want to play also MS games, will now abandon the idea to buy X1. Sure, the MS will sell more games, but console userbase will suffer in the name of it. |
I believe the key here is that you are thinking way to small. Who cares about console marketshare the most, people on this board or MS. MS has a phone and tablet along with the X1. They have an OS called Win 10 and a Windows Store. They probably will also bring XBl to all their devices (hopfully better than windows Live).
So in your scenerio, a PS4 owner who has a gaming PC decides he does not need a X1 because he has a gaming PC. Lets say for whatever reason this person has not upgraded to Win 10. If this person what to play MS exclusives on his PC he must upgrade to Win 10, probably will have to use XBL in some form or fashion for MP and will have to purchase the game from the Windows Store. This would be a win for MS because you sill a customer for them, and if you want the next game or sequel you have to continue to use their service and purchase from their store. MS still get that PS4 owner as a customer even thought they problaby would not have purchase an X1 just to play one game.
Once MS get their streaming service going, you probalby will be able to stream from your phone, or win tablet to your Tv using Mirrocast or something along those lines. The key is that if you only look at the console landscape now you totally miss the big picture which will not be this limited concept gamers see today.
