I Disagree, People purchase consoles because of the games, if all the games are somewhere else, they will just stick with it, what is the point to Upgrade into a New Console, when you can play all the Games of the Console, Plus the PC Games, with the same Money ?, and Microsoft, don't get more money for Releasing games for PC, unless Xbox One's Sales are really bad, they lose a lot of Potentially users, that would purchase games for the system, and would pay for Live Subscription, that would  be guaranted Money, because Multiplataform games would sell much more on Xbox One, than on Windows Store, more licesing money for Microsoft, people will only purchase exclusives from the Windows Store, but they will purchase all the other games from Steam, because Windows 10, isn't a Plataform, is just a OS, within the PC Plataform, and is just a Store, people can use EA, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Steam, and Microsoft's Store, in the same device.

Alan Wake, sold 1.3-1.5 Millions on PC, a little more than on Xbox 360, if the game was Exclusive for Xbox One, would move Much more Hardware, if just 10% of those people purchase the Xbox One, because of the game, already would be worth it, i really don't understand Why Microsoft, is releasing all their games on PC, they are Down YOY, so this shows that those  releases for PC, isn't helping Xbox One.

I was talking about MS studio games in general for more money. They won't be some anywhere. But the Windows store. And on top of it, it's their product. So it's more money. Plus, they're trying the same thing you want them to do on the console. Get more people to get Windows 10. That is one major goal. That's is the sale they want. Even if it scrafices some Xbox sales. They get do get money from somewhere.

Just like Nintendo does with their "freebees" from Club Nintendo. You still had to buy $200 worth of games. To just buy Game and Watch Ball. And they probably only paid very little to make those. But got $200+ for it. Same with Amazon Prime. You save money on shipping. But do you really? If you don't buy something almost every day. You're just paying a monthly fee, for air. So that cash, is basically getting amazon free shipping money. When you only buy 4 things, in a month.

They are givving Windows 10 for free, if they wanted to get Money, they would not limit it only to Windows 10, and would not give the OS, for Free, what they want is Market Share, now that Apple, and Linux, are growing more and more, and now we have Valve's OS, they just want Market Share, isn't for the Money.

 

And Microsoft, have a Lot of money to burn with games  they don't need to release for PC, how much Revenue do you think that they will get ?, from what they will lose with Xbox One (they lose much more when something is purchased on PC, and not on Xbox), i don't think that will be Hundreds of Millions of US$, they spent 2.5 Billions on Minecraft, this money would be enough for Microsoft, to make all their games in the next 2-3 Generations, they Cancelled Fable, without even give a chance to it.
