It boils down to the reason many of us play on consoles to begin with.  It's a convenient dedicated gaming machine for one's living space where they can turn the power on and in minutes be competing with people around the planet, on the sofa next to them, or by themselves.  It will have a different entry cost than PCs which we know have the capacity to outperform these machines but not everyone wants that kind of fuss.

I know that I will be giving Microsoft some money if some of these games pop up on PC but that doesn't mean I don't give my console any attention either. 

People buy the Xbox One for the same main reasons they buy a Sony Playstation 4 or a Nintendo Wii U - a convenient, dedicated gaming experience and to make brash generalizations or say this will do any real damage to potential sales of the Xbox One is completely baseless.  

I was talking more of actually having the game rather than simply "streaming it" as means of a "service", akin to renting a game but not owning it's files, something which MS won't even allow you to actually touch let alone modify with the current state and allowance the Win10 store show. In fact that's actually more the talk of this whole QB news, it's not just the fact that it;s coming to PC that's breaking some dreams of exclusivity folk but more or less the actual decision to throw it onto a store which isn't anywhere near popular. Looking at this from an open platform pov, this isn't really all that great, sure it's great that it's coming to PC but it's not great that it's a game locked to a single OS to a single store with no sort of freedom to how you can play the game besides doing what you're told. That's not what the platform is about and that's what will eventually be a trouble for MS to tackle and one they will have to admit fault with on their behalf if they want to move on past the old model and into the new one.

I don't actually care where a game goes, but I know for a fact that boasting numbers is a fools game with a platform that has existed since computers could create and play games as a platform that is created within a closed wall dies, so does it's sales, we talk about the Wii sales as a reference point but in another 10 maybe 50 more years something else will surpass that, maybe even the PC but it will be from a platform that has no lifespan, no definited lifespan with no set time limit. The only time I'll care where a game goes is when the original is in the middle of production and tampered with the design of the original's destination, ie: a game that's made for PC utilizing PC peripherals or design is confined to the restraints of a gamepad one in terms of how the game is played along with UI and eventual downgrades to a specific set of low end hardware. That will be the only time and situation where I'll care because I seek the original design, how the game was first shown and marketed, if it's design is changed to conform to another system that isn't open, well then I just won't buy or support their decision but I digress as this doesn't have to do with PC to Xbox.

This of course coming from someone who's as cool as a cucumber.

Damn I just came to the thread to post that pic but you already did

FIFA bundles for the X1 moved hardware and the franchise isn't a FPS. Just saying.

I'm sorry. Perhaps I'm not understanding your point. How does this refute what I said?

The PC market has been growing by leaps and bounds since last gen. When Gears 1 first came out Steam was still young and finding its legs. Today steam and Blizzard are responsible for the largest resurfacing of core gaming PC sales in a long...long time. Microsoft was M.I.A. When PC came back on top. Gears of War and the First Halo were small offerings for a console market that had almost unlimited offerings elsewhere.

Traditional PC market has been stagnating. Steam grew, as digital distribution. And yes, Blizzard is big in PC gaming.
And that is what MS definitely missed in the PC market.
Now they do have the possibility to offer connections between different ecosystems, from crossbuy to streaming, which is actually an interesting move. It even gets more interesting when you think about Xbox 360 emulation on PC, on the next Xbox, an x86 neXtbox that's backwards compatible at default and buying one game for all devices.

Thing is, it actually doesn't hurt me. Right now i might play Quantum Break for Xbox One cause my Notebooks GPU is to weak. But i'm getting a PC version as well, so i might play that if i'm getting a gaming rig again.

And if MS is really smart, they have Cloud save features from the start. So i can play QB on PC in the living room and then head over to playing it on that Xbox in the bedroom or something like that.

The only thing that hurts gamers is games not coming to their platform of choice!

No, they want to make you buying a PC instead, with their operating system so that you buy their games on their platform.

Well, then you would be in the state that PC gamers are as always: the majority of games you will buy on PC because the games are cheaper and better there and you have a console only for exclusives.

Why get a console instead of a PC? I don't get why people think that the only difference between playing on a console or a PC is only because of the games.
