Is "Microsoft exclusive game" a thing now?

@xxgunslingerxx: That's cool.

Sure if it helps them sleep at night.

The Windows distribution system for their games is garbage. It needs to be fixed before I would think of buying a game, even a series like gears that I love, on win10. Quantum Break continues to loom heavy, along with the gears 1 "remaster"......

Don't worry, it will get better. More people using the store = more feedback, and MS listens to their customers.

lol good one

Panda is a good representation of an Xbox owner

Well PlayStations are hardware while Windwos 10 is software and Xbox One is hardware again. It's kinda different.

Lems want to think its a thing but its not. Fact is Xbone has no exclusives left except a few Kinect games.

Fact Xbox = Windows

Look I am Playing My Xbox One Game On Windows 10 So get Rekt

Windows is Xbox

get over it

KI is natively on PC. Streaming the X1 version is not the same obviously. I can also stream my PS4 games to PC if I wanted to.

Lets ignore the first sentence, because it just lacks any intelligence.

so saved game files, fantastic.... so basically your saying that "I can use the xbox when im not at my PC and still resume on the PC later" ... right. you know how else you could do that?

By having a PC, and a Steam Machine (or more sensible console-like PC) in your living room... and have access to a far greater library, and still have access to those "Xbox/Windows games" ... the XBOX SYSTEM part of the equation is WORTHLESS because it offers NOTHING UNIQUE.

THAT is my point. its not a hard one to grasp.

Why would any sane person choose a PC / XBOX combo over a PC / PS4 or PC / Mini-PC combo? makes no sense, you get NOTHING.

1) wtf mac OS and now pc in the livingroom have anithing to do whit are initial conversation about windows= xbox you just totaly derail into butthurt mode

2) ("why wold anione choose a PC / XBOX combo over a PC / PS4") because of all of the above I been teling you xbox games can be play on windows Synk

I can play killer instinct on my consol rank up to rank5 let some watch tv go play it on PC continue on to rank 10 let a family member use the Pc and continue on my tablet all using the same OS / Cloud synk safe file

3) ("makes no sense, you get NOTHING.") I buy recore on my xbox and i get it on PC /tablet

4) what you get whit SF5 on ps4 you dont share safe files and you have to re buy it they are 2 separate entities USELESS FOR EACH OTHER

Let me try to dumb it down for you.

If there are no unique games on xbox, why not just by a home-theatre PC setup... get the game on that. and then have access to a game library MUCH MUCH Larger, why ever have the XBOX in the equation? That "Feature" you are bragging about .... can be done with a Home Theatre PC combined with a Gaming PC. The Xbox is completely pointless, it does nothing but have severe limitations.

mause

keybord

spekers

tv

or I can buy a consol

Xbox is pointless, you dont need a mouse/keyboard for any of the xbox/pc games... but you have the CHOICE to include them for a much LARGER library.

literally no benefit to owning an Xbox Console over a living room PC.. none whatsoever.

I reckon' it's only a matter of time now before the two are considered interchangeable; in fact, I'll be surprised if we're not able to install PC games on the new Xbox.

What a glorious thread.

MBirdy88 took a jab at Sony, but felt the raging backlash from Xbox fanboys instead.

cant recall taking a jab at sony in this thread?

I would hope the cow muppets like tormentos and friends will stop calling me a "Lemming" finally... that would be nice.

*shrug* cows have considered PS3/4/vita games as "exclusive". Honestly its a bit redundant with the removal of the meta game. Hermits really won't give much of a **** as I doubt the extra 3 or 4 games a year in the 100's that get released for the PC will make much of a splash.

Have to say I enjoyed the rage against @MBirdy88 for absolutely no reason though lolz

I'm not too big on "Microsoft Exclusive. I think we should just call these games "Sony Excluded."

*whispers* Sheep are starting to get a complex ....

Its like I have said: What was the purpose of exclusives? To get you to buy a particular company's hardware and maybe their own games. But go deeper: To get your money. They didn't do it for the Artist, or the devs. The did it for the money, the chedda, the cash.

So Now MS says nothing is exclusive to a console they make. But they just happen to make the most widely used OS on PC and the games they publish will be only available from their own Store on their latest OS. Guess what? It's still about the money, the chedda, the cash. Call the games multiplat all you want. Times are changing, deal with it. One of these companies is going to make money from gamers on two fronts without going through anyone else. So how is it different then only being on a console if its only on a PC store you have complete control of?

Given that their intention is to make windows 10 a platform for selling games and not just consoles, yes I would say there is such thing as Microsoft exclusives and they have other goals in mind.

Given the fact that companies such as MS have always focused on recouping money via software (as hardware is often a cash-sink), it's a smart move for them to make. If only I didn't hate W10 store so much... At least this will drive me to buy more of their games on PC when it improves.

I hear ya dude. Change is difficult for everyone. People's anus' are so hurt that unlike the Vita, MS actually may have a real second platform in W10 PC. Sony fanboys hate it because my Vita sucks d*ck. It a glorified, two analog stick PSP. Sony shit in my hand after KZ mercenary.

@GoldenElementXL: But what about Nintendo?

Microsoft exclusive fits more

Consoles won't go out of business, they'll just have more options. This is a good thing I'd say.

I still have hard time believing a console gamer would buy a gtx1080 Why not just pick up a Scorpio lets be realistic. And why would a xbox one and Scorpio gamer care if exclusives end up on PC.

Gamers care about playing their games at the best graphical settings and having lot of people to play with. If anything opening the xbox live network to the PC community will insure games like Halo 6 and Gears 4 have long legs.

MS does not have to sell hardware at huge numbers. What truly is important is the userbase increasing and those people are connecting to xbox live and buying games. And lets be honest here 20 million people bought the xbox one knowing it was inferior with power to the PS4. They hardly going to be turned off by the more powerful xbox?

they don't understand microsoft is windows and xbox ... windows 10 os is on the xbox one ... xbox live is on windows 10 ... but fanboys will fanboy ... its all the same company and same xbox live ... no real loss of exclusive games times have changed ... pc gamers happy thats great u game off of windows so that is microsoft ... you buy windows 10 games u buying it off xbox live thats xbox ... all helps xbox sell more games get more gamers playing on xbox live and xbox games
