Console will exist alongside the PC. Bringing Xbox console exclusives to Xbox PC wont kill consoles. People like me wont rush out and buy a Gaming PC instead. Because I prefer Console gaming. That's it. Sales of Steam and retail PC games also shows that the majority prefer console gaming.

retail PC games are pretty much a novelty item now, I wouldn't gauge game sales by them in the slightest.

Steam sales are the same. Console versions sell far more than their Steam counterparts. Alot more. Showing alot of people prefer console gaming instead of playing Battlefield at better settings. Putting some games on the Xbox PC is just giving existing PC owners the chance to play exclusive games if they want them.

Based on the articles and doom and gloom around the internet I expect Xbox One sales to drop to nothing and Xbox exclusives on PC to outsell the console versions 5:1. Because everyone claims they have a PS4 and gaming PC. Or Wii U and gaming PC and are buying them on PC.

When in reality, the Xbox One sales will not change for the worse and very few will but the PC versions. Because the internet is funny.
