The games are Windows 10 store only so Microsoft makes a profit from them.
@Kayoss: Isnt the X1 as big as a gaming PC? This is my PC case http://www.zalman.com/globa...
My case is a mid-tower case so not even a full tower and it is bigger than four xbox one consoles glued together and much much heavier. The biggest graphics cards would even have issues fitting in my case so You do the math regarding portability.
The question was why would ...
Let me answer that for you. I own a flat, so i have my gaming PC and Xbox One in my living room. I am getting a new 50 inch TV in April and that will go in the bedroom.
When my significant other is watching TV in the living room, i can continue playing Quantum break in the bedroom. When living room, is free, i can continue where i left off and enjoy playing in the comfort of the living room.
I am also west African and spend up to a month in Ghana and Nigeria ...
"Seems games progressed more with one dominate console"
Lol ohh dear lord.
Street Fighter 4 is on PC and PS4, yet there was a circle jerk article a few weeks ago touting SF4 as a system seller for the PS4.Even No Mans Sky is being touted as a system seller. Ohh lets not forget that Sony does not get a dime from the PC version.
Now, an xbox game goes to the PC (windows 10, exclusive to windows store meaning Microsoft makes a lot of money from it) and now, there is no reason to own the Xbox One.
SMH at the double standard on this site...
So what your saying is that your PS4 catalog of games consist only of exclusives? No multiplat on PS4 because it would be foolish to play an inferior mutiplat when you can get a better version at a cheaper price on you PC right?
The vocal minority
You a re the one saying that it is bad for the Xbox brand, so show us proof or evidence that it does. If not, you are just spewing fanboy nonsense.
Same rumor i have been hearing on since 2007 and yet the Xbox One is still here.
"PC gamers were never going to go out and buy an XB1 for this game in the first place, let alone any game on the horizon for the console. "
Well said Solar
@Eonjay: What you are saying does not answer my question. How does the Xbox One win by SF4 not releasing on it at all? How does the platform and Xbox One owners benefit or win by SF4 not releasing on their console? That is the question i want an answer to.
Does the same logic apply to the SF4? Are you saying that Xbox One wins even if SF4 is not going to be released on it?
I can't understand the mentality of someone that will cancel their pre order of a game just because other people get to play it.
As for me, i just pre ordered it for Xbox One when that awesome cross buy/ cross save deal was announced. Can't wait for the game to be released.
In the UK, there is a store called Currys/PC world that sells both PC's and consoles. A friend of mine works there and i asked him this question "In your two yerars of working there, have you ever met a customer that was undecided between buying a console or a gamin PC"?
His answer was a resounding NO.
The PC market does not hurt consoles at all and if you think it does, then provide us with a research or a survey that shows otherwise.

@Dlacy13g
I could not have said it better. I was going to wait until the launch window to buy Quantum Break, but after seeing the sweet offer they just announced (I own a gaming PC), i just pre ordered the game.
I think what Microsoft is doing is very smart and the only people that are upset over this are fanboys. Microsoft is investing more money this gen than ever before into games, so if they can make additional revenue from the PC market, then that is gr...
@Christopher
Microsoft released a new UI last November. Has it been a success or a failure? So, in your opinion, it was a failure biggest it did not push Xbox one sales past the PS4.
Microsoft is upgrading the TV tuner on Xbox One to allow recording of live TV. In a few months when asked if it was a success or failure, would your answer be NO, because it did not push X1 sales past the PS4.
Microsoft launched an Elite controller. When asked if...
Same here. Started Witcher 2 over the weekend and i am really enjoying it so far. No way i would not buy Witcher 3 after this so i have BC and GWG to thank for introducing me to the Witcher franchise.
One of my top three most anticipated games of the year. Cant wait to play this.
Kim Wu was my fav. character in KI Gold back during the N64 days. Very happy to see her return in KI3.
I always wanted to play lords of the fallen so this would be amazing if true.
