If all PlayStation/Xbox games were on PC day 1, would you still buy a console?

Tell us how much consoles past PS4 did those system sellers push.

I have no problems admitting it: hard to say because Xbox One released so few. But the principle is there, and it certainly meant more revenue to MS where as they would have had even less sales if only kept to the Xbox brand.

A example is Halo Reach for MCC PC, sold a couple million week 1 from people that I would assume, had no interest in purchasing a Xbox. 

We know dozens of millions of gamers simply prefer console for a variety of reasons. And there are millions who prefer strictly PC. MS can appeal to the PC crowd and at the same time appeal to console gamers on the fence between Xbox and Playstation. As someone very excited by all the new studios MS has acquired, I am very interested to see how this strategy plays out. 

I think that with MS releasing all their games on GamePass and PC day one the system seller status of their top franchises get a lot diminished, because there would be a small subset of people that would think "I really like exclusives, but must be from MS and I hate to play on PC".
