I buy every big system that plays games no matter what. Buying a console to play a few exclusives is not a poor investment for me, and as I have a local library that I can borrow console games from freely, I actually play a lot more on my consoles that I would otherwise on my powerful desktop.That's a pretty bizarre mindset. You should buy the platform that's best for the majority of games you want to play. If the only reason you're buying a console is to play a few exclusives, that seems like a poor investment.
Honestly, I'd like to see exclusives disappear entirely. The world would be a better place if I could play The Last of Us 2 or Mario Odyssey on my PC. Platform exclusivity doesn't help consumers.
Geezus... How does Microsoft not realize that this Play Anywhere crap is hurting their hardware sales?
They get your money either way. You really think they care?
But if you build a custom PC they don't get anything from that right? Or does Microsoft have some sort of stake in AMD, Intel, etc? Genuine question
OP why do you care if a game is on PC or not? Most gamers exclusively play on Console or on PC
why? Why would he spend like a couple of thousands on a beefy PC just to buy another console? lol
Cant build a PC that will match X for $500 right now
X can't do all the things a PC can do.
Neither can a PS4.
The thing is millions of people are ok buying a games console to only play games.

Are we complaining about a feature that is awesome for consumers?
MS probably makes more money off a custom PC assuming the person building it buys a genuine copy of Windows 10 and doesn't pirate it. They also make money off any other genuine MS software you purchase and put on the PC as well as any games you buy from the Windows 10 store.
Yeah enjoy those MS ppts in 4k!

Aside from social reasons (wanting to keep in touch with friends with xboxes) I will never understand why anyone with a decent PC would spend the $$$ on an Xbox One X or something instead of buying a GTX 980 TI for like $400-$700. You get pretty much all the killer exclusives (minus Sunset Overdrive and Master Chief Collection) and they run better. Plus all the stuff that's only on PC, the best versions of multiplatform games and emulation.

Because I have a PC. What a gigantic surprise, right? You could've actually read the OP, too. Pretty easy to infer...
This avatar + comment combo is hilarious, by the way.
Read the damn OP... I'm not buying anything, it was lent to me. I will eventually buy one when I can find it for under 100 used. Seems like it may completely replace my 360, all that is left is for Oratorio Tangram to become backwards compatible and there is literally no reason at all to hang on to my 360.
My PC actually cost 750$, for reference (most components were bought second hand so market value would be around 1200$). No idea where this narrative that gaming PCs must necessarily be very expensive comes from, by the way, you can make a great rig for as little as 700$ store price.
Also, since it seems you're not understanding me... It is my default gaming device of choice for multiplatform releases because it handles them better than PS4pro or XbX. Still gonna play the exclusives on their respective machines, though, why not do it if I can and want to?
For many, because gaming on your couch with big screen TV and 7.1 sound system in the comfort of your living room is a much better experience than playing on your monitor in the computer room (not all of us are single in a 1 room flat, lol). And despite it being possible to make PC gaming happen in the former, not a lot of people want to go to all the trouble of setting it up to do so for a myriad of reasons and are content w/ the two different gaming experiences (I love to game on my PC in a separate room when the wifey has company over).
It continues to astonish me gaf doesn't get this and proves to me just how niche the typical gaf gamer really is.
I already got that 980ti is the thing, and I'm very happy with it. I'm even content with my 2700k atm. And why don't you understand that I would want to play the exclusive exclusives (which are more than just those two) plus 360 BC and OG Xbox titles in their best form?
I can answer that having a decent PC i7 7700k and a GTX 1080.
I really enjoy Fortnite and PUBG on the PC but look forward to playing FPS on the X it seems anymore every other game I play on PC ends to a hacker.
I enjoy playing games on my PS4 Pro but being a large man with large hands I way prefer the Xbox controller especially for FPS games.
For some odd reason I actually prefer the PS4 controller for sports titles and will always have a PS4 for the exclusives.

I don't know about that. Just look at the 360. I mean we can argue about what the reason was it sold so well but I for one think it having many (timed) exclusives that didn't come out on PC as well was a big part of it.
I'm not complaining and yes, I know I can only speak from my point of view but thanks to Play Anywhere the One just feels so.... redundant. When I buy a PS4 I know there are many high class prestige games that I can only play on the PS4 and nowhere else. The Xbox just doesn't have that.
Again, we can argue about how much this really plays into the Xbox success but I myself think a big part of why the One had such lackluster sales is because it doesn't have this high profile prestige games only available on the Xbox.
Weather this is correct or not I don't know but I do have the feeling it is. Can't even say how many people I talked to saw no reason in buying an Xbox because they can play all games on PC as well.
So have you played or are you going to buy the games on pc that you can get on both Xbox and pc ?
Oratorio Tangram is already backwards compatible.

Maybe we should consider consoles consoles and PCs PCs. The console to PC comparison does no favors to ANY console IMO, even PS4/PS4 Pro and its awesome exclusives.
they will have trouble answering threads like this since they don't have anymore true exclusives.
Please... there was no such intention whatsoever and you know it. You're actually one of the people who started the console war crap, hilarious that you're now spouting this kind of nonsense.threads like this are stupid. console warrior bullshit
There are not going to be anymore exclusives. Xbox is just a form factor.
This is ultimately good for them, but they will have trouble answering threads like this since they don't have anymore true exclusives.
Why? Are gaming platform all of them?Maybe we should consider consoles consoles and PCs PCs. The console to PC comparison does no favors to ANY console IMO, even PS4/PS4 Pro and its awesome exclusives.
Because its not.
PC gamers are different animals. While many of them are also console gamers, in order to include the Xbox players eith them they need to share game ID. This keeps Windows versions populated unlike the barren wasteland that was the Windows store version of infinite warfare. PC gaming is gigantic in regions where Xbox doesnt sell like Asia and Eastern Europe. This generates sales where there would be none.
Exclusive in thr adult world means not available on the competition. Its not what do I got, just what you dont. Theres a reason why Sony allows third-party exclusives on PC without worrying about it. Please remember that unless the game is sold on the window store, Microsoft sees exactly 0 dollars from every PC game sale, While no matter where the game is sold, Microsoft and Sony both see large dollar amounts from every game sale on their respective consoles. By keeping the game is exclusive to the windows store for six months, Microsoft realizes pretty much every single full price PC sale they were going to get, and they keep 90 to 95% of that money. Then they can release it on steam if they choose to do so and see those extra revenues, but after fees from steam their profit is cut over third, hence the delay.
Frankly the only downside to play anywhere is the fact it does not have separate achievement lists. With games for windows I used to like to buy them twice to get the points twice
Once they make Panzer Dragoon Orta back-compatible it's going to be a nice little machine. (Oh and speaking of games that fit the topic description: there's also Crimson Dragon, but it's a not-so-great spiritual predecessor to Panzer.)
