Hello Data Caps.... Compressed images that hurt IQ, and Input lag & lag spikes (which physical hardware wouldnt have).

Goodbye owning a xbox console, and not being a live member paying 60$+/year (consumers love options taken away from them).

Goodbye physical discs that you own, and collecting games that way (who collects games anyways am I right?)

The future is bright, alright.

The only upside is you dont have to spend 400$ at the start of the gen to get a console (big upside), It would cost maybe 1/4th?

but I feel like the bad outweighs the good here.

What number is a good amount?, I mean PC has a shit ton of exclusives and games from over the years, is a good amount 80% of them or something?, even half of them is a massive amount.

Will Fallout 4 sell more than PC 10 years from now?.

WIll a game on a platform that eventually egts discontinued continue to sell more than PC? (that's a question but it;s not one that can be answered because the obvious answer is no it can't).

ES MMO drowned in a sea of MMOs on a platform that's popular with them, what XBox gamers like compared to PC is different, look at FF and Warcraft comapred to ES Online and you'll see a different picture.

FC4 on PC wasn't all that great and requires that lovely Uplay you know every PC gamer praises and loves.

If games sell better on X1 than PC then why is MS shifting all these strats in favour of PC and not all on X1?, why are they shifting plans and not taking on PS4?.

All the good things against PC you wrote are different due to how the game was launched vs the market it;s targeting, you gave an MMO that's unpopular on PC for various reasons, not the markets fault that they didn't do a better job at grabbing the crowd while other more popular MMOs win out. The sales data can only go on for so long before the platform stops and the next gen begins, with PC the sales go on and on and on for years and years. That's why Skyrim has sold more on PC along with other games like XCOM than last gen combined and it still goes on, where is everyone on last gen or current gen buying Skyrim and XCOM?, they have all the time in the world to go back to another platform and buy said game, once it gets discontinued then the point will still be standing there. What you get is those nice looking "burst" sales that you're pointing out rather than standing back and looking at the end game sales some years later. A good game on PC will sell for years and years, even through discounts and non discounts, as long as it's actually liked by people on that platform then it will continue to sell.

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

You've replied 5 times. Had it not been for my post, they'd all be in a row. I'm just telling you that the Multi-Quote feature makes things so much easier for the thread.

The amount of people willing to buy a console just for one or two games has to be so low that it's not even worth keeping it exclusive to the system.

The same could be asked on the inverse, why own a console that have almost the same games that your already owned Gaming Rig? To play the same games but on a inferior performance? It doesnt make any sense.

All platforms are diferentiated by its exclusives, if all consoles would have the same exact games it would be a pointless competition and it would rely in what? Performance only with the ocasional senseless brand fanboy.

Like i said, i will always prefer consoles over PC's because of the straight fordwardness that i was talking about, but im perfectly aware that literally almost all games perform better on the PC with the exception of some developer fuck ups that doesnt have to do with your PC per se.

If someone who has a capable PC has also an Xbox One, whats the point of playing the inferior version? That is the question.

• The game is single player, so your friends having the X1 version is irrelevant.
• The game performs better on the PC.
• The Xbox One controller can be used as well on PC.
• The Gaming Rig can be connected to the TV.
• The game will probably will be cheaper on the PC.
• The game is releasing the same day on both platforms.

I mean, from every angle there is no positive about playing the Xbox One version.

If there comes the day that ALL exclusives will be available on PC also, whats the point of having an Xbox console if you already have a capable PC?

To be fair, there will also be people like me that will prefer consoles over PC 100% of the time.
