Even if they aren't forced into it they will either get their games sold at a massive discount on Kinguin ala currency manipulation, or nobody will buy their games because they will be considered too expensive.

Nintendo games are already expensive in their physical form, very, very rarely droping in price even years after their release.

Amd they can also limit, if not avoid, the other problem you mentioned by limiting the stores with access to keys for their games.

In any case, Nintendo isn't interested in launching their games on PC because they care about their hardware sales, so there's no need to look for excuses as to why they won't do it.

£55-60 a pop isn't considered expensive for a Nintendo game compared to how the others price theirs?.

I just feel like, especially Microsoft anyway, they're taking the appeal of the XBO away from gamers who are happy enough playing on their PC, for example, if we look at Sony, if a PC gamer wants to play Uncharted 4 or Horizon or whatever, they need to buy a PS4, since it's only available there, so they'll buy a PS4, giving Sony another console sale, and they now have another potential customer for all of their other exclusives. If that same PC gamer was interested in Sea of Thieves or Forza 7 (No idea why I'm using these two games as examples, just the first two to come to my head from each platform lol), they could just buy it on PC and wouldn't need to bother buying an XBO, which means Microsoft are losing out on what could have been a potential console sale. 

What I think would be handy, is if they invested in bulking up their first party, as many people have suggested over the years anyway, and have developers that work on PC games, and others on XBO games, that way Microsoft as a whole will have more exclusives, but they'll also have games you can only experience on PC, and games on XBO too... 

It's probably a backwards way of thinking, but it's just what I personally think they'd have to do for someone like me, who owns a gaming PC, to actually fork out for an XBO, since right now there isn't much incentive to own the console, since the exclusives I'm interested in, I can play on my PC too.

Again, purely my opinion on the matter, may sound silly, but I just feel if Microsoft want me to buy an XBO, they need to make games that are ONLY for the XBO. 

PS. If I'm not making any sense, it's probably because it's 7am and I should really head to bed now, so I won't be posting until tomorrow evening now.

For a digital download that price is highway robbery. I really don't think most people buy their digital games for that price. They either wait for a sale or go to Kinguin. A physical copy runs you $45 off Amazon and Best Buy.

Real japanese gamers don't play on pc. :P
