I never said Xbox is an irrelevent platform, there are many people who prefer Console gaming and can't be bothered or don't want to game on a PC.

I won't be buying this game but anyone that will be buying it on pc doesn't need your pity because they saved $300 by not buying a machine that to them would be irrelevant and ended up with a game that performs and looks better and doesn't require a continued subscription to keep.

Dude.... my enitre point and all my posts have been about PC gamers, I thought I was being abundantly clear, but apparently not for some.

And no your post wasn't clear in the slightest as I was stating the lack in relevance of the Xbox as a product to own for PC Gamers, and you talked about how PC/Xbox owners would benefit from crossplatform multiplayer which isn't relevant and more money going to development which again is not relevant to PC gamers not needing to own an Xbox.

I was an early adopter of the Xbox One, it actually makes me happier that more games are coming over to the PC where it gets exposed to more gamers, that's a good thing.. As that will hopefully translate into games with more development time and funding thanks to the larger audience.

And with Microsoft's push for cross-platform multiplayer, the Xbox should benefit from a boost in multiplayer populations as well, again, translating to a better console experience.

He also said that Halo 5 is coming to PC

It's pretty ironic though, out of all the Halo games, The Master Chief collection would probably benefit the most form being on PC, rather than Halo 5 at the moment.

MS gotta make sure that another broken release doesn't happen.

Plus, releasing many Halo games on PC on a short amount of time will spook the xboxers on forum.

I think it's about time Halo gets on PC, arena shooters are more appreciated there I believe.

This type of commitment means that MS will use all their IPs on all platforms seamlessly and that only benefit gamers. I don't see myself ever commiting to PC gaming so Xbox only for me.

SFV is a funny one because the way people describe it here, the game would have come out probably never had good guy Sony not swooped in with money to make the game happen. And yet, even apparently being solely responsible for the games existence, they were fine with it releasing the same day on PC. They had no problem slapping "console exclusive" on the box. No Man's Sky, too. At two of my local Walmarts there are banners all over the electronics counter for the game, "console exclusive". Why would Sony go through the trouble of such marketing when it's also on PC?

The deals MicroSony makes for games and content makes it obvious they don't think there is much overlap at all in terms of gamers in both markets, and in Microsoft's case, the people who buy these games on PC are doing so in their store so they are still part of the Xbox/Windows userbase. The negative effect is tiny. I would guess that a vast majority of people who haven't bought an Xbone yet, don't give a shit about SO or Forza or whatever going to PC. Because their interest wasn't there in the first place. As you said, 360 had plenty of these games last gen yet still sold very well. PS4 has loads of console exclusives it shares with PC, yet still sells fine. If exclusives mattered as much as people make it out to be, WiiU would be faring a lot better.

There are big reasons the PS4 is outselling the Xbone at the rate it is. Games going to PC is far down that list of reasons.

It practically is, I won't be buying this game but anyone that will be buying it on pc doesn't need your pity because they saved $300 by not buying a machine that to them would be irrelevant and ended up with a game that performs and looks better and doesn't require a continued subscription to keep.

There's no reason to feel sorry, I'm sure many like myself are very glad they didn't shell out on an Xbox already and will be more than willing to shell out money for a game that will drop very quickly in price on pc. ;)

Good guy microsoft helping pc gamers save a fortune!
