It's funny because a large portion of the Wii U's game library is exclusive, yet that has proven not to drive console sales to any great degree.
Are exclusives really important? Sure they are. But I think 3rd party is more important... And if Microsoft can entice PC devs over to the Xbox, then they will be onto a winner.

Right, but what happens when a console has NO exclusives? Well, I can either get a PC and a PS4 to get roughly 90% of the games released within 8th Gen, or I can get a PC and an XB1 and have a fairly redundant library. It's an even more extreme scenerio of PS3 vs XB360; most of their libraries were shared to the point that unless you just HAD to have Halo and God of War it was almost a bad decision to buy both.

The only way I can see the crossbuy thing working out in the end is if you have an XB1 and a Gaming Laptop, allowing you to take your games on the go. And even then: why not just get a laptop $300 more powerful instead?

A $300 laptop to play Gears? Gears Gauntlet?
