Xbox buyers who say they have a PC do not have a PC. |
That’s quite a bold statement to make. Lol

Why should I as Xbox console owner even care about how many copies does Halo 10 and Gears 15 sell? The only thing I care about is from MS to provide a great gamin experience through their console and services. I'm way more interested in Xbox being an appealing platform for third party developers, so they will be bringing lots of great games to the platform. XGS games should be like an icing on cake. Additional reason to choose Xbox over PS, but no the main one. Because I doubt that any sane person would choose a certain console just because it has games from one certain publishers with everything else being more inferior compared to competition. Also, XGS hasn't really released that many interesting games, worth playing in the past 3 years, making it hardly to be the reason to choose Xbox over PS. I'm personally not interested in Sony exclusive games as well, but it is hard to deny that almost every game Sony released in the same time frame was a more quality product than every XGS game except maybe Gears and Forza. I personally prefer Xbox over PS just because in my opinion it provides a better console experience, not because it has Microsoft games. And I think if you ask any of 46m Xbox One owners the same question - why they prefer xbox over PS, the majority of these people will answer the same way that I did - not because XGS games are better or more interesting than what Sony offers, but because these people believe that Xbox provides a better experience to play games. Everything in your logic shows that you seem to fail to understand the huge difference between a publisher and a platform holder. Microsoft is not just a publisher, they are a platform holder and they have a certain obligations for their userbase. It's not just about selling games. If selling games is all that matters - then why don't just bring them to Playstation as well? It will boost sales for sure.

Oh lordy, I am not saying sales matter to consumers per se. I am saying more consumers will have access to their games via PC. Which is notable when we talk about regions where PC gaming is more common than consoles.
However, Xbox users do benefit from increased engagement and sales of 1st party games. More revenue could be more money put into games. Also games become less risky with PC revenue added. Do I need to elaborate on everything?
I agree MS needs to step up their 1st party output, more titles in general. Maybe the new studio purchases have something to do with that? In less than a year though we may get a quality Halo game. I also got my eye on Gears tactics and the Ori sequel.
Maybe MS have some interesting announcments at E3. Because obviously software is coming from recently purchased studios. Which is needed to hype Xbox and Game Pass.
If MS isnt selling games or failing to get people on Game Pass, that would suggest people really hate their software. Even with the general consensus of MS needing to step up 1st party efforts, they arent doing bad with user engagement.

Well, once again your post is filled with the belief that Xbox owners should care about first party games for some reason? What good it will make for me if some people will be able to play Microsoft’s game on PC? Why it should even be a something that I need to care about as Xbox user? Give me proper third party support and improve gaming experience on a platform that I want to invest in? Why should I even care about their first party? It’s like less than 5% of the games available on the system.
