These were games they did not prevent from coming to PC, eventually, but they put no money or effort into the development, they just stepped out of the way after sometime and let the IP holders release PC versions.
Perfect post.
Can W8 store apps use a lot of memory and GPU or are they limited to what RT tablets can run?
the only games that they've done this with recently were indie titles published by mgs where they didn't own the ip and it would have ended up on pc eventually anyway
actual for real first party ports ended years ago and were horrible before that
"Let's start to act like a true first-party across all these devices. A service like Xbox Live that knows me and my content and my friends and achievements across all these devices. I think that's an advantage for us."
This is something that Microsoft do right and Sony need to follow.
This will just push people away from X1. Seems like a silly move from Phil.
Good for PC gamers though.

Sony already puts out big games on PC, just not their consoles tailored exclusives.
Its kinda funny that a Sony studio supports windows gaming far better than MS does. EQN looks awesome, and Planetside 2 is a reason to upgrade your PC.

If they release an exclusive on the PC, say 6 months after the console port, then they could bring that PC audience to the consoles for the sequels.
1m PC gamers buying a PC port of an exclusive are likely to buy any sequel for the XBO. Its a great way of expanding a franchises fanbase.
Halo Trilogy Windows 8 exclusive.
Downloadable titles do make it over sometimes... To the Windows 8 store.

Great for us, but I don't know how this helps the console they are releasing this month.

Reading rest of the article sounds like Windows 8 or new PC service
It would be nice if they would just release PC games without some extra service.
Maybe, but it defiantly put out the thought that every Xbox One exclusive might be released on PC if you wait 6 months.
So why should they invest $500 + $60 when they can wait and get it cheaper on PC?
Bringing games to other platforms will boost the game/franchisee, but it won't be beneficial for Xbox One.
I don't believe this at all. This kills the biggest reason to buy an xb1.
Anyways this just gives people more reasons to not buy the Xbox One
Halo 1-4 on Windows.Yeah
Windows 8 exclusive. Okay.
Halo4 gets GFWL2.0. Fuck off Microsoft.
Oh, is it that time of year again? When MS announce that they're serious about PC gaming again and then fuck all happens?
