Makes all the sense to me, I would be one of those. 

I can only support 1 system(PC, xbox or ps), I don't own any PC. But between having true exclusives or console exclusives... I choose the first choice. 

Well, then your decision makes no sense at all. You would buy an XBO with exclusives, but if these games would be also on PC, you would buy a PS instead of an XBO...or PC. I mean, what exactly does it change for you that the games you would buy an Xbox for would be also on another platform you don't and won't own?

Sry but I just can't understand the logic behind people who think like that.  Does the game make more fun if you know that people on another platform don't play it? What is the reason that people like you seem to need the feeling that the device you own has stuff only people who own the same device can use? I mean, if you like the PS games more it's all good and you should already be a PS owner even if the XB games will be XBO exclusives but what you are saying is that you would start to have more fun with PS instead of XB just because the PS games wouldn't be also on PC, a platform you don't use to play games with...

But one is for sure, you would be in a very small minority with that thinking, most interested in the Xbox IPs would simply still buy an XBO if they wouldn't like to play on PC. 

I find better value on games not on other systems, I like to feel like my money is the most well spent possible. 

I've said it before, the only MS ip I can't live with is Gears. 1 game isn't that much. Is there any ps one I can't live with? Persona, it isn't even theirs, but MS doesn't care for jp games lately. The ps appeal are the jp games that MS should also have but doesn't care to try get them, xbox comes with the best (imo) western games(I dislike all ps western ips), but at the end of the day I play more jp than not.

In conclusion, at the moment, microsoft vs sony is 50-50 for me but I dislike sony quite a lot for killing sega. So I tend to microsoft, but that can easily change 'cause...

...I would follow SEGA to death, not microsoft. 

That's exactly what I said earlier. Idk how ms and some people don't understand that a lot of people think like this. Including me.

I feel the same way with Xbox exclusives and how they should stay on Xbox only.

I'm fine with Xbox exclusives being on PC as long as it means that when MS buys third party exclusives they never come to Sony systems anymore. Also there can either be no cross play in competitive games, or there has to be a way to split players using controllers and those using m&k

Yeah I'm okay as well with Xbox exclusives going to PC. But its gonna be bad for future sales of the X1.

Xbox on is at 12.ps4 9 for amazon.xbox ones rising while ps4 is falling. Only a matter of time until Xbox one overtakes ps4.

So what do we think are best and worst case scenarios for the Windows 10 event?

Browser:
Best - It's called Spartan, a real Firefox/Chrome contender, lightweigh with add ons and speedy. I would abandon Firefox for it.
Worst - IE all over again.

Gaming Iniative:
Best - Either an outright competitor to steam that goes toe to toe and yes, does have XB1 exclusives. Cross play with Xbox One, and streaming on any Windows 10 device. Cross buy and a couple of game announcements.
Worst - GFWL 2.0, paid subscritpion, no XB1 exclusives, no streaming to Xbox and no game announcements.

Phone:
Best - Unveil a new flagship phone and talk on Windows 10.
Worst - Barely touch on phones

Cortana:
Best - Across all devices, Cortana works almost flawlessy.
Worst - Still only on Phones

The browser part I can see the "best" happening, but maybe that's because I'm pretty confident in MS's commitment to getting it right this time. Same goes for Cortana, I think Microsoft is gonna make that a part of every device, especially since one of the leaks for Spartan on Windows 10 shows Cortana being included.

The other two I think we'll get something in-between best and worst. I can see game streaming being announced, but not any new games for Xbox. As for phones I think they'll talk about the future of the platform, but no new devices or anything. :/

Still pretty excited though, I wasn't planning on watching the stream before but I think I might check it out.

-Xbox One users would get access to a much larger game library thanks to all of the PC games on Xbox One, complete with Xbox Live support, so they'd basically just be Xbox One games, they'd have achievements, controller support, etc.

Which PC games would you want to play on the Xbox One that isn't currently on the system? I can't think of any on the top of my head.
