Sony bring as many games as they can that will work on PS3/4 to vita, its obviously a system with a lot less power.

This would be an easy port that they could make exclusive to there windows shop and coin it in

Well maybe Sony should make more games designed for Vita. Where is Gran Turismo for Vita?

MS's primary gaming focus is on Xbox One. Just like Sony's primary focus is PS4. However, MS still puts games on Windows. While Sony has given up on Vita.

You're talking about them supporting PC, although they don't have to, even if they state it.

MS is not gonna dump everything in PC because some people that don't wanna buy Xbox want that title.

The above mentioned titles are or will be on PC in the near future. That's more than what Take Two, EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo and Sony do.

If people want Halo buy X1, if they don't want to buy it, they don't want Halo that bad.

It doesn't make any business sense whatsoever to put Halo on PC.

 

It makes fine sense. It's extra cash. The Master Collection is not gonna cause the fanbase to die off on X1, if it came to PC. PC would never get Halo 5 for many years. It just gets people who won't buy the system, for one game. Halo is the only game I would buy on a Xbox. But $400 for playing Halo isn't worth it. If I bought all the Halo's over the years. I'd waste $900 on hardware to play 7 games.

It's 4 games, 100 maps on dedicated servers, an episodic Halo series and Halo 5 MP beta.

Also, Xbox One can play other games too, so it won't be "just for one game."

It doesn't make sense to publish a game that sells systems on PC. Halo means= XBL subs and consoles shift.

This shouldn't even be an argument.

 

I own a PS4 and Wii U. Every game I want I get on those systems. I don't want anything on Xbox, except Halo. Simple as that. That is how it's only one game series for me to buy. It is not worth using $400 for a single series. Even if you want to argue It's really 7 games on one system. If I cared to buy Halo, I would got them when they where new. And blown $900 for 7 games. Either way, I don't buy it. I'm happy to not play the remaining games. My argument is that this WILL NOT damage sales and future releases of Halo, on XBOX systems.

You're getting extra cash from the people like me, in porting the games to PC. That's all. I'm not even bitching about the games being delayed years to PC. The point is to get them on PC. Did porting Halo 1 & 2 on PC ruin it for Xbox, no. Millions more love Halo on Xbox than PC. But It also made Microsoft more money. By PC gamers sales. And aiding the crew in remastering Red VS Blue seasons 1 and 2.

What would happen to WiiU sales if Mario games would come to PC?

Or to PS4 if Uncharted was coming to PC?

Would it be a wise decision for Nintendo and Sony?

Sure they would get chump change, but what about PS+ and Now for Sony? Or more system sales for Nintendo, which will consequently sell more softwares?

It's a no brainer here. The money MS would get for Halo on PC is not even a 1/10th of what it could possibly get, with it exclusive on Xbox.

That's a dumb argument. Microsoft owns two platforms. If they didn't, I wouldn't be complaining. They get extra sales, that's all. And wouldn't lose anything from xbox brand. It's free money basically. This is getting nowhere. This rumor was thrown out the window anyway. I suggest we just leave it at this.

Ok. And thank you for calling my analogy dumb.
