Battlefield 4 - also on Origin.
40k on the only other fps choice beside csgo on pc at the moment.
Yeah, pretty much near dead.

I mean they bundled Xbones with Titanfall as well, and that game wasn't exclusive even at launch, so your point is?
And prior to Fuse Insomniac never made a game for Xbox, obviously Insomniac is trying out new platforms at the moment. And being 2nd party for Sony in the past never gave them the option of making a PC port.

Windows 10 should make things interesting once Windows PC and Xbox One converge. It will make Xbox One basically a $400 PC with the ability to use Windows Apps but with a t.v. focused interface and media capabilities. Should make future port begging interesting.
Huh, I did not know that. I guess that makes sense from MS perspective given how fractured all their divisions are.

That could actually make me buy an Xbox One.
Cross buy is pretty nice.
But knowing Microsoft, that will never happen.
Astute.

Dx12 will help with the xbone ports... It will be more or less seamless im hoping

To be honest, I think Microsoft missed an opportunity with Xbox One. Basically, I think they should've merged Xbox and Windows since the begining of Xbox One. And lack of backward compatibility was a good opportunity to do so. Basically, making Xbox One a 400 dollars entry PC, prebuilt, with Windows, capable of playing Steam games and games from Xbox Store.

yeah, another entry on Microsoft's boulevard of broken promises.
You sure? Bear in mind for reference, this is only Steam and only Saturday, which doesn't see the peak user numbers anyway, try again later today:
I've read it's already easy to port from Xbox One to PC DX11.
But it's true that the Xbox One API is closer in philosophy to DX12 than DX11.
But if you compare it to Titanfall numbers, and BF4 stats back in May of this year (before there was much on the PS4/XB1 either), it's actually doing reasonably well.
May 2014
Also, there are at least two other FPS games on Steam currently in the top 10 most played, ARMA 3 at near 40k players, TF2 at 80k players (peak 100k today). Payday 2 is also currently at 60k but that isn't as consistent, there is a sale on currently.
Dx12 and windows 10 puts everything on a level playing field... Its too messy to do it all now
Plus they want to give as many incentives to people for upgrading to windows 10

12 year old franchise.
No, go read my previous post.
Are you going to try and argue that if the game wasn't put on Steam the servers wouldn't fill up? It's a new IP not a decade+ old series, being exclusive to a platform loads of people refuse to even install doesn't help it is what I'm saying. Anyways, we're going off topic so let's leave it alone.

That's far from a proper PC though.
LOL. Yeah, okay... no. You're forgetting BF4 has been out for a year and like typical "yearly FPS releases" it bleeds. But that retention is stronger than most other FPS releases. That's like Halo 3 console numbers. If not slightly below it for the same life-span.
There's also other FPS titles on Steam that--yeah, someone posted the "Top 10," TF2 and the like. For being "Origin only" having nearly the same numbers as Arma 3 isn't terrible.

Where would that image be from? Or is it another joke post?
So you're changing your argument now? It isn't because of Origin it is because it isn't a recognised franchise?
I'm saying using Origin as an argument for reasons why people aren't playing it isn't a valid one, because plenty of people play other games on Origin.

FPSes only count if they're also on consoles
That was the thread I was gonna make that I was talking about earlier.
They get licensing fee on games with Xbox that they wouldn't get on the PC unless its in their app store. They could change the licensing with Windows 10 software, but they would recieve major push back so I highly doubt it.
Nope
Titanfall has not been marketed much on PC, I think that's the reason.
I don't know how profitable it has been on PC though, the number of players alone is not enough to call it a bomb.

Just imagine steam running on the console.

It was not "outright denied" right?
Something something, we are focused on the xb1 blah balh.
As much as I like when devs post here you cannot expect them to answer truthfully or completely regarding their own content at times. It is the nature of being involved in production, you can only say so much for fear of losing customers.

honestly i cannot see myself opening origin to play any game but just Battlefield.
That's is a decent idea. They should have released it alongside the new DirectX. Then they should have re-released Games for Windows and make all games cross compatible. Basically copy Steam except restrict games to being only compatible with Xbox One controller as you don't want Keyboard and Mouse players destroying console players on shooters.
Exactly how they'd do it.

I like how the first link when you reverse search it links to Mistermediax's twitter loool.
It's from MS's earning call apparently
I doubt they will allow most windows apps to work on XB1 but the Universal apps. DX12 will help with the development side of things for gaming.
Edit - beaten again
That wasn't published by them though.
I know, but I thought maybe this time, if all those concurrent players stood up and waved a little, maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't blank them all
As someone who's planning to buy sunset overdrive and an Xbox one, I think that Microsoft should wait at least a year before putting out the PC version. that way sunset overdrive Xbox one version can settle on its own and hopefully build sales or something.
but mostly I don't really care.
Phantom dust however I would pay top dollar if it was on PC I would like fucking quadruple dip that
