That's my point... I'm a Xbox One owner and non-Xbox owner sees this as a "problem" for us while we are not (talking for the majority here I'm pretty sure)...
Not even bringing the "double" standard of people who also complained a while ago with the 360 about Microsoft getting some third party exclusives and how bad it was for the "consumers", those same people are just bashing Microsoft now for their Windows PC oppening...
And I support the system to play my games on my Xbox One and I do not see anything in what Microsoft is doing that is going to harm that in any way. Actually I see this as an extension to it to bring more people to their franchise and their ecosystem. All good for me.
I feel my investment is just getting better and better values when they are doing that. At some point I even hope for the next Xbox and PC to use the same thing (being a Steam box but with the Microsoft/Xbox Live ecosystem). Windows 10 or Xbox One, I'm not interrested in the "hardware" itself but the Microsoft ecosystem, extending that is just perfect :) I want my Halo games, my Microsoft account, etc. to be available on all my devices (Xbox One or not...).

How is your investment (XBO) getting better value when they port games over to PC? Don't understand what you are refering to here.
But to go on what the person you quoted was talking about, sales, the more a console sells, the more games it gets. And the more games it will get that the other systems will not, even without having to pay for exclusivity.

Because you see the investment in the hardware not in the ecosystem. I'm not investing in the device itself... I have all my games on Xbox 360, One or Windows PC.
Since when having games also available on PC makes consoles useless or sell less? This is just speculations.
Do you really think so many people bought the Playstation 4 because of exlcusives? And not because it was just cheaper at first and even at even price with better capabilities and same support form third parties than any other platform out there?
My Xbox One will not stop being able to run any game just because they are available on PC.
I mean, if you assume that exculsives are the main selling points for consoles; I definetly understand where you are coming from. But I just don't believe it the case.
So I'm back to my point; I'm investing in Microsoft eco-system, not in a single piece of hardware. And that's Microsoft vision too I believe.
