It seems like it is helping the PC a lot more than the XBox console though. Considering both of those are Microsoft platforms, that might actually be part of their plan. |
I have always said that Microsoft made a big mistake when they decided to release their games on Xbox and PC simultaneously. I think a lot of people want to play Microsoft's games, they just don't feel the need to get an Xbox for it. That becomes evident when you compare Microsoft and Sony's games on PC. The relatively weak Sony's games numbers show that people buy Sony's console to play those games, whereas a lot of people are just comfortable playing Microsoft's games on PC.
I think they would still reap the benefits of the PC market (without hurting their console's sales) if they released their games at least 6 months later on PC.
