Microsoft would unwillingly become one of the biggest publishers on Playstation 4.

- Dead Rising 3
- Fable Legends
- Gears of War: Ultimate Edition
- Killer Instinct
- Ori and the Blind Forest
- Ryse: Son of Rome

*Wasn't Forza Horizon 2 & Sunset Overdrive not rumored to hit PC in 2015?

I am sure I am forgetting a few.

You guys who always talk about Microsoft tend to forget that a ton of games this gen are PS4/PC multiplats.

It was just revealed today that No Man's Sky will be released simultaneously on PS4 and PC (so there goes the timed exclusitivity which is a joke anyway). Then there's also Tales of Zestiria, Nobunaga's Ambition, Square-Enix games and other Japanese games that wouldn't have come to PC last gen.

All games except anything from Nintendo and the few remaining "real" PS4 and X1 exclusives seem to be coming to PC this gen.

As the owner of a PC, a tv, a really long HDMI cable and a controller for PC this doesn't concern me. It's great that MS is releasing a lot of their games on PC. Maybe not as good for selling Xboxes but it keeps the PC people quite happy.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Dude, you obviously missed my point. I am only talking about Microsoft as a publisher.


I am well aware that; No Man's Sky, Shenmue 3 and many more will become available for Xbox One owners as well, should they get the same feature

It's way more likely that MS will allow streaming from PC to Xbone so eventually Xbone users will get to play all the "exclusives" like SF5, Shenmue 3, FF7 remake and what else will come from Sony.

That would actually be a pretty funny workaround for MS.

From Sony? Nope, their 1st party doesn't do PC.

I never said they did. But they are funding SF5, for example, so in the end they are funding games that people will be able to play on their Xbox One if MS goes this way which is, again way more likely than streaming PC games to PS4.

I don't get why it is "way more" likely?

Well... let's take a closer look:

- MS builds Xbox

- MS builds Windows

- MS wants to get people into their ecosystem

- Sony is a competitor

- Many PS fans say "why buy Xbone, I already have a PC!"

What interest should MS have to make a PS4 app to stream PC games? This is as likely as Sony willing to make an app for PSNow for Xbone.
