Dark Souls, sold more on PC, Alan Wake, sold more on PC, Left 4 Dead (i forgot if was 1, or 2), sold better on PC, The Last Tomb Raider, i think that sold better on PC.

That's not the argument. I said tell me a game that sold poor on consoles because a PC version exist.

If anything, you're supporting my argument. People passed on some of those game when they were console only (like Alan Wake and Dark Souls), but there was an audience wanting them on PC.

 

By the way... http://www.pcgamer.com/gabe-newell-portal-2-did-better-on-pc-left-4-dead-did-better-on-consoles/

This was 2011 by the way. So that probably means the 360 sold more units at full price. I'm sure more people have it on PC now.

 

My point is not focused on the game sales per se, but the lack of incentive to purchase an Xbox console.

There will be a moment where there will be no exclusives (real exclusives) for the console, and the sales will be severely compromised because of this fact.

Unless Microsoft (and the fanbase) is content with the Xbox consoles having N64 sales numbers, i dont see  a future Xbox console touching the Xbox 360 sales numbers, the Xbox One included.
