Been on these forums a lot recently, so i know i should probably state this before talking about microsoft: yes, i'm a ps4 gamer. My love for some sony titles doesn't mean i dislike microsoft. Just looking to hear some opinions.
During their E3 show, microsoft has been announcing all their games as coming to PC too. My question: doesn't this only take away selling points of the xbox? Don't get me wrong, as a ps4 and pc gamer, i have no complaints on it at all.
With xbox being behind in sales to the ps4, isn't this rather counter-productive? If someone has a decent pc, what should convince them to buy a xbox? All i got from this show is the confirmation that i don't need a One this gen.
Are they just going for more sales on their games as opposed to selling more consoles? I'm trying to see microsofts logic behind this. What do you guys think on this?
Ps. No fanboyism please. I've tried to stay as neutral as possible in my post.

2 RespuestasThey are trying to turn Xbox into pretty much a gaming PC brand. It's a slow process but chances are the next gen "Xbox" it's pretty much going to be a gaming pc "console" much like the Alienware Alpha or other steamboxes. MS knows console gaming is dying and is trying to get in position to capitalize on the industry shift when it happens. Xbox Play Anywhere and the Xbox One "Scorpio" seem to be the first big stepping stones towards that goal.
