Even with most of Xbox exclusives being released on PC, a majority of them are only released for Win10 and in the Windows Store, which is a platform that most people dislike if compared to Steam, what makes most people choose to buy an exclusive MS game for the Xbox, if they have one. I mean, have you seen how many people buy games like Forza and Gears for the PC compared to the number of people that buy those games for the Xbox? The difference is absurd, it is obvious that people prefer playing games that were originally only Xbox exclusives (and now are MS exclusives, so they won't be out on other platforms) on the Xbox rather than on a PC.
Also, a powerful computer costs much more than an Xbox (at least where I live), and that makes people buy a console instead of a computer that can run most games. I myself am an example of that.
And you have to consider that some people just prefer gaming on a console, without any specific reasons for that, and you just can't argue against that.
Just to finish this post, you know that there are many other factors besides exclusive games that people consider before buying a console, right? I chose buying the Xbox personally because I think that the Xbox live is much better than the PSN, the exclusives came as a bonus. But maybe if I have enough money when the next generation arrives, I am pretty sure that I will buy the PS5 alongside the next Xbox.

A lot of PC sales, especially for Forza 7, came from the PC version. On top of that, you say some prefer to play on console. Some prefer to play on PC, by the same token.
Even if those games sell more on Xbox, it cannot be denied that having the option to play them on PC impacts sales.

Yeah, I know that some people prefer gaming on a PC, but I only said that some people prefer playing on consoles because that other dude was basically saying that there is no reason to buy an Xbox. I'm not rhetorically asking for reasons to buy a gaming PC, like he was doing with the Xbox.
I never denied that the availability of games like Forza and Gears on PC impacts sales, but seeing that the absolut majority of people still prefer to buy them on the Xbox while having the option to purchase on a better platform shows that people do find their own reasons to buy an Xbox.
I'm not sure if in the other post you understood that I was trying to badmouth the PC or something like that, but no, in fact I also game on my computer a lot and enjoy it most of the time. I was actually trying to show the other dude that there are reasons to buy an xbox (although he seems to be ignoring all arguments that people use against his nonsense idea), just as there are reasons to buy a PC, a PS4, a Switch, etc.
