Alot of fanboys might feel as if this is a blow to MS because one of there brands is losing out but one thing they dont realise is that buying QB is still supporting the Xbox gaming Devision and Remedy which deserves more then being locked away on a plastic box. Pity Sony or Nintendo dont care to much for there own inner companies. More sales leads to more profits. XB1 will still sell more units then the PC release just like history has always been

Apart from being just an Xbox Exclusive lets applaud MS for delivering great games into this industry. Quantum Break looks set to be one of the best games this year.

It has my wallet open. Well done.

This is a desperate rationalization. The fact of the matter is that this benefits A Microsoft studio, but not Xbox. As a PS4/WiiU/Vita/3DS/PC owner, I don't have to buy an Xbox to play this game, where otherwise I would have to add to XB1's sale count.

 

It's simply not exclusive anymore. Just like SFV isn't exclusive. No amount of "No, Microsoft wins because PC is Microsoft" will detract from the fact that I have lost a reason to buy an XB1.

Well this is good news for ps4 and wiiu owners who doesn't have a xb1 that want to play this game and have the proper gaming pc to play this.

Why such complex sentence with focus on PS4 and WiiU owners? "Well this is good news for gaming PC owners that want to play this game" should be enough.

Ain't it the same good news for people with PS3+PC combination or 360+PC or Wii+PC or PC gamers without console?

I don't identify as a PC Gamer. I identify as a PlayStation gamer, but I own a gaming PC and all consoles with specific exception of XB360 and XB1. 

 

So it is an accurate statement for me and those like me.

I responded to a similar thread from another forum earlier, and while the topic discussion may not be a complete match, I feel my thoughts might still be worth something in this thread. Here's a copy-paste of my response to this news on that other forum:

There's no doubt still a "hate Microsoft" bandwagon in which the narrative for MS exclusives coming to PC is a "loss" and makes the Xbox One "not worth buying", but the vast majority of people who use this narrative neither own a PC capable of matching the graphical fidelity/performance of the Xbox One nor will even buy these games on PC anyway knowing that they're still supporting Microsoft as a result of their purchase.

The reality is that the current gen x86 consoles ARE budget PC gaming in a nutshell. And due to their mass production, no end-user will EVER build a more powerful gaming PC for $350. A common mistake is to just look at the CPU, GPU, and RAM and say, "look at how much better the components I can buy for $350 are!" while completely forgetting that to match what comes in the box of the console requires buying a PC case, a mouse and keyboard, Windows 10, internal components, etc. that all add up to well beyond $350 (not to mention a cheap headset if you want to match the Xbox One's pack-in like-for-like). When all is said and done, if someone doesn't have a gaming PC that matches or exceeds the performance of a gaming console, I will recommend the gaming console. Every. Single. Time.

On the PC side of gaming, if you wish to build something better than the consoles, then you're in business. PC gaming is no longer the budget friendly option (and in many ways, never was: it was an odd exception that last generation's HD console twins were matched if not exceeding the then-high-performance PCs), it's the option you go for because you want the best of the best. BUT, as a person with a beast of a gaming rig, therein lies another side of the argument against PC gaming: we spend all this money to get the top-notch gaming performance only to have our versions of games be marginally "upgraded" from their console versions. The excuse to go PC loses a major step here since these "better" versions are just a few bells and whistles thrown on. Developers are NOT going to give PC gamers the original release trailer for The Witcher 3 or The Division and give console gamers the latest, downgraded version.

In conclusion: yes, most people who simply knock the Xbox One simply because its exclusives come to PC are doing so simply for the sake of hating on Microsoft. There was NEVER a buying intention from these people to begin with. To people considering an Xbox One that are a bit more impressionable and affected by the "go PC" narrative of MS haters, it's a very simple question: does your PC exceed what the Xbox One can do? If not, then buy an Xbox One. By the time you're done upgrading or building a new PC, you'll have spent more money. If you're willing to spend even MORE money to get better graphics and performance, it sadly won't give you the night-and-day difference you deserve. If you can live with that, go PC.

lol, I agree with this. Of course it makes sense, especially on places like here or GAF, where console warz and list warz are very common. How many games has MS put on PC now? And every time it's "oh man i was so gonna buy an xbox but now no need". I mean, the system has a great selection of exclusive games. A vast majority of people who have held out on buying the console aren't going to be swayed by some games coming to PC. People say the value of the console has diminished, they leave out the fact that it diminishes for an extremely small amount of people and doesn't change for the majority. These are the same people who when PS4 launched and was selling so great would point to the long lists of exclusive indie games or niche Japanese PS3 ports as a reason the console was selling so well. That, or hardware. Strangely, all these games existing already on PC or PS3 or the PC having much better hardware didn't matter. But now MS has killed the Xbox brand by putting Quantum Break and Gears Ultimate on PC. It's hilarious.

I would recommend the console, too, but I am a console guy. I have a good gaming PC, but idk, I can see why consoles are more popular. It's just easier. You do end up paying for that convenience though, as console gaming is more expensive.

So it is an accurate statement for me and those like me. 

It's an arbitrary addition, it's completely irrelevant if you have a Wii U or PS4 beside your PC regarding the ability to play Quantum Break.

This addition could be replaced with anything else:

  • Well this is good news for house owners who doesn't have a xb1 that want to play this game and have the proper gaming pc to play this.
  • Well this is good news for vegetarians who doesn't have a xb1 that want to play this game and have the proper gaming pc to play this.
  • Well this is good news for taxpayers who doesn't have a xb1 that want to play this game and have the proper gaming pc to play this.

    Not a big deal really. Exclusives require distinctions nowadays and the distribution of media makes it easier to make a game accessible to many platforms. The usual Xbox fans blaming PS4 owners, not realizing that 95% of games available on XOne run better + look better on PC or PS4.

    Only if they have a gaming PC and only because of their gaming PC, not thanks to their console choice. 

    Give credit where credit is due... don't try to shift the credit from PC to your favorite console.



    Can I ask why exactly it's a nightmare that this game is also on PC? Spencer for a long time has been indicating cross play with Windows was a goal.
