I disagree with the OP as well. I don't think Microsoft will exit gaming, but even now we are seeing where you don't need an Xbox to play the games on it. So, now its up to Microsoft to prove that it wants its console to be seen as something special. Its funny because a lot of gamers have a PC/PS4 setup. It looks like this will become the defacto standard. And it might be benificial to Microsoft to cut the costs of hardware manufacturing while doubling up on software sales. |
Not sure why people believe the majority of cosole gamers own gaming PCs that MS initiative for putting their games on PC is really a big factor. So you can play MS published games on the PC, purchasing the digital copy, through the MS store.
Personally I do not see a lot of console gamers also sporting a gaming PC hooked up to their HDTV. I highly doubt this will spur a lot of people to upgrade to Win10, to play MS games on their PC and not purchase an Xbox. Either way, I am very interested to see the full scope of MS plans for their ecosystem and how they play out their strategy. It seems they are not playing the same game Sony is playing and leveraging their other systems.
