The one time I actually try to talk one of my boys who is a fighting game fan into buying an Xbox Microsoft puts Killer Instinct on PC. Mother.... seriously? He just laughed his way to PC. Oh well... I guess its settled...most of my friends back home are on the PS4 for good now. I miss my dorms where it was mixed between both consoles. My friends were Xbox all day last gen and now they are all PS4. The one game he admitted Microsoft had besides Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5 that made him jealous.  Oh well...I tried. LOL

To add to that...Gears of War Ultimate Edition too. 


 Im getting that on my one. Gears made from the ground up? Take my money. Same goes for Rachet and Clanks remake and that is actually a true exclusive.

This does not make sense.  Are you comparing a device that has been on the market for 2 years to a device that has been on the market probably since you were born.

Are you kidding me? It would have made sense if you had actually read and understood what was being implied in my statements. Console sales FOR games have always been higher in bigger ratio since PS era. Now pertaining to the topic, there's a hint that Microsoft is trying to use PC to channel higher sales for their timed console exclusives. They are not relying on X1 alone which proves that sales on PC is relevant.

Console sales as a WHOLE has been bigger, depending on INSTALL base.  If you had made those points then you would be more correct.  PC sales have always been revelant.  Only Console gamers have ever dismiss the platform.

MS making their already few Xbone exclusives going to PC is a big mistake for them. I had Killer Instinct as one of the reasons for getting an Xbone in case there's going to be a price cut this holiday.

Now the only game I need on Xbox is: Sunset Overdrive, Rare Replay, Forza Horizon 2, thats it until Quantum Break, and that game will go to PC as well considering Alan Wake did.

If your friend wants premium gaming then go PC, Its not going to bother MS as long as your playing there great games. If they want simplicity then pick up the X1. X1 isn't competing with PC, its competing with other consoles. A corp doesn't care as long as you feed them. If your buying one of there products or two. Remember MS isn't one of the richest company in the world based off stupid decisions.


I've been saying it for a while now that KI lost a lot of hype on Xbox Live and the KI gamers have been complaining to Microsoft to bring KI to PC for a while now. MS hasnt been having any huge tournaments or anything, so they basically fans said since the popularity isnt growing just put it on PC. I was against that because Microsoft needs all the exclusives it can get because its fighting a marketshare battle with Sony. Every game counts. This is cool for PC gamers but when the true exclusive count will make or break the true variety. I will still get to play with my friend, but I also was trying to get him into Halo (because he likes COD) and since Sony got the DLC it just made things even worse. 

Killer Instinct is still in the FGC, and cross play compatibility will increase the popularity of KI. I still say this is a good thing



I regret making this my username, I made this name when I was 13 years old

I don't know how people don't take into considering the controller in these things. The different between and Xbox One and PS4 controller is HUGE. I had a PS1 and PS2, and to me, those controllers are the best 3D game controllers ever. But for FPS, the original Xbox and then 360... those offset analog sticks were just better imo. To this day, if I played a FPS on Xbox One and then PS4, I do better with the Xbox One's controller. I don't know if it's muscle memory (first time I played an online FPS was on the original Xbox) or what, but I just don't think I'll ever enjoy my PS4 for FPS... and it's solely because of the analog stick placement.
