: I don't think titles no longer being exclusive to consoles is going to hurt
: the games, or the consoles. PC and console don't really compete, at least
: not as much as the PC Master Race (ugh) guys would like to think. They're
: at home in different play environments and people are going to choose
: based on which environment suits them, not the exclusives. Exclusives
: might decide if someone is torn between a PS4 and an Xbox, but in most
: cases they're probably not going to be the key deciding factor that turns
: someone from a PC gamer into a console gamer. It's going to be based on
: their preferred input methods, whether they like to play on the sofa or at
: a desk, what they can afford, and so on.

: So PC sales aren't missed console sales - they're new sales that probably
: wouldn't have happened at all if the option hadn't been available.

: On the technical side, console and PC hardware and software (particularly in
: the case of Xbox) are very similar these days, and with the addition of
: things like UWP it's even easier to make things work on both platforms.
: Plus, typically it's PC ports that get the short end of the stick when
: things are ported, so I wouldn't really worry about the Xbox editions
: losing quality because of it.

Yeah if console and PC gamers were such a fluid market, then SteamOS and all the Steam machines would have taken off. But they didn't. It seems clear that there's still a fairly big divide that isn't getting crossed by most consumers.
