Nintendo dismisses idea of entering resurgent PC market

I just feel like, especially Microsoft anyway, they're taking the appeal of the XBO away from gamers who are happy enough playing on their PC, for example, if we look at Sony, if a PC gamer wants to play Uncharted 4 or Horizon or whatever, they need to buy a PS4, since it's only available there, so they'll buy a PS4, giving Sony another console sale, and they now have another potential customer for all of their other exclusives. If that same PC gamer was interested in Sea of Thieves or Forza 7 (No idea why I'm using these two games as examples, just the first two to come to my head from each platform lol), they could just buy it on PC and wouldn't need to bother buying an XBO, which means Microsoft are losing out on what could have been a potential console sale. 

What I think would be handy, is if they invested in bulking up their first party, as many people have suggested over the years anyway, and have developers that work on PC games, and others on XBO games, that way Microsoft as a whole will have more exclusives, but they'll also have games you can only experience on PC, and games on XBO too... 

It's probably a backwards way of thinking, but it's just what I personally think they'd have to do for someone like me, who owns a gaming PC, to actually fork out for an XBO, since right now there isn't much incentive to own the console, since the exclusives I'm interested in, I can play on my PC too.

Again, purely my opinion on the matter, may sound silly, but I just feel if Microsoft want me to buy an XBO, they need to make games that are ONLY for the XBO. 

PS. If I'm not making any sense, it's probably because it's 7am and I should really head to bed now, so I won't be posting until tomorrow evening now.

I already explained that MS has no plans to do that and out of the big 3, it's the most expensive for their pockets as well. They don't see the point in wasting 5-10 years to see if it all bears fruit (if you're the only one out of the 3 spending more money on two plats, would you take such a huge risk after losing this much, 3 gens in a row?).

You forget that I also mentioned that there are those who aren't interested in consoles like there are those not interested in PC. There are those not interested in the PS4, X1 and Switch/Wii U, so chances are those not interested in those systems end up not buying into those system exclusives, same with PC, but I'm sure there are those out there who would love to play said games on their system of choice.

I'd love for MS to make a ton of PC exclusives only found on PC, but that's not really going to happen if ever, so their current objective is to make games for both because it suits their scope and budget as well.

 

You seem to have avoided the PC exclusive part though. I mean if you want console exclusives to stay exclusive, then I imagine the same for PC as well?.
