In some ways Microsoft have the right idea

Weak backwards compatibility and related uncertainty is probably the biggest reason I'm steering further and further away from console gaming and towards PC gaming. I've been more of a PC gamer almost always, but I didn't really have anything against console gaming either. I started to like console gaming less and less during the 7th generation, and now I don't like it very much anymore.

This.

 

Also the lack of consistant performance across the board has also had me sticking more with PC, as I could simply upgrade my hardware if the performance isn't up to spec or even mod the game, with consoles it's you being stuck with the same spec and same eprfromance level as everyone else who bought the same console.

 

The way console gaming is atm doesn't appeal to me, especially with the way things have been going this gen. I hoenstly don't see PSn going "toe to toe" with Steam and all the other clients, let alone dominating and decimating all of them at once. What I want is on PC or goes to PC and that keeps me going. MS isn't really getting my money much these days because they don't release to where I buy my games from (GoG, Origin, Battle.net, Steam etc), they've also shown over the decade or two that they aren't really that fussed about improving their image and products within PC gaming, which makes them the last company I'd want to buy from.
