You say porting has been positive for Minecraft....Sales sure but at the same time we have people complain in this thread that some updates like the 4K/Ray tracing did not come to Xbox series because of other platforms?

Sea of thieves was available day one for pc.....

Age of empires, those games did not really benefit xbox gamers considering they were released on PC first and then Xbox later.  

Age of Empires is still a port. It wouldn't exist without PC, and it wouldn't exist on Xbox without getting ported.

Sea of Thieves is still a port, even if it was day 1. Tomb Raider in 2013, was developed by Crystal Dynamics, ported by Nixxes, to platforms all for release day.  

4K was added to Minecraft. 

Hard to prove but age of empires lives at the moment because of Xbox,  because of the money spent by original xbox gamers, Ms greenlighted Flight simulator and Age of empires and both came to PC first and then to xbox.  In fact they stated that without gamepass Flight simulator would not exist,... and on which platform most gamepass subscribers exist?   I am fine with it but I honestly believe Age of empires IV and flight simulator 2020 would not exist without Xbox....

I find it difficult to call sea of thieves a port because porting literally means adopting software from one platform to another platform while the game start was on pc with the Unity engine..

4k was indeed added after many years to minecraft and thats also why sites like IGN use Finally:  https://www.ign.com/articles/minecraft-patch-1206023-finally-adds-4k-on-xbox-series-x-and-s
