Is this what MS is planning to achieve? | |||

Or, I can have a PC to play PC games on and a PS4/Nintendo to play games that I can't get on PC.
It's always seemed like a no brainer for a PC gamer to have something other than Xbox as a secondary platform, because going PS/Ninty gives a much larger range of games that are available to you. In terms of volume Ninty is surely the way to go for a secondary console as there is very little crossover. But PS exclusives are also sufficiently numerous provide for a broad library.

means MS has two communities to sell a game too instead of only one.
Folks, this is not a battle against Sony.
It is a battle with Steam. (and SteamOS).

Who purchase a Xbox One, is because like of Consoles i'm right ?, so How this could be good for Xbox One, if Microsoft, also release every single game on PC ?, this will hurt Xbox One, and if all the 3 would follow it and do the same, this would hurt the Console Market, would even erase it from existence, Tons of developers were stoping of making Triple A Tittles, and were either going for Mobile, or for cheaper PC Tittles, but after Playstation 4's Sucess, they went back on Making Triple A Games.
If you is a Console Manufacturer, you can only chose to put your Big games on your Console, and if want to enter the PC Market, need to make games that appeal for the market, and not appeal for the console Market, otherwise you would kill your console, games like Microsoft's Flight Simulator, and Age of Empires, would be fine with the PC, instead of sending your most anticipated Console games for PC.

Cross Buy = One Buy
2 Communities = 1 Sale
I dont see how this would benefit MS from a software sale point of view.
All I know is that I have even less reason to get an XBox One.
The great thing about these games coming to the pc is that I can simply wait until I have to get a new laptop and play them on there. (I guess my current one can handle it too but I don't want to upgrade to win 10 yet) The games should be cheaper too by then. So yup, win win for me, one less device to take up space.
It's funny how this gen is going. From being dead set on getting all 3, to maybe wait for a slim version, to now completely lost interest. (Although that has just as much to do with the ever increasing back log from PS4 and WiiU, games are getting too long)

I understand that. But the pc player only doesnt get cross buy. So ms has those sales.
And about having to pay for playing online on xbox, they would fix that?
I mean, if i dont pay xbox live gold, and i have a crossbuy game on PC and on xbox, i wouldnt be allowed to play online on the living room xbox, but id be allowed to play it online on my PC.
Going in the strategy you thought, they would free the online play on xbox or charge the online play on PC?

Also, they could also release a xbox receiver. where you could stream your PC/xbox crossbought games on your TV in other room. (and maybe work also as an apple tv). Id buy that instead of a xbox one.
