Bungie can complain all they want how as Halo became a success they were owed more but without Microsoft they wouldn't be the recognized studio they are today - that IP would have never been as polished, refined thus financially successful as it is & without Microsoft's backing all Halo would be today is a clunky indie game running on legacy Macintosh. If you play your cards right in any partnership you reap reasonable benefits & in that example the console market played an integral role. Exclusive title albeit or not. It simply is what it is. Emotions aren't an aspect - I simply don't understand the angst, bitching and moaning against one company's system versus another... so what? That's life. Get over it lol.
Far as Obsidian is concerned, I'm happy for them; Microsoft didn't hold them at gun-point and force them to make this deal. There are possibly terms in writing for a certain period of time, stipulations of Obsidian's etc etc etc

Only time will tell if It’s a good thing, seeing how major companies policies are not user intended these days..

The store has come a long way and there is still work to do yes.
Ok, so how would you bring more games to Xbox or is the solution for everyone to just go and buy PlayStation just because of more/better exclusives? This is the problem!
In case I wasn't explicit in the first post, I don't care about consoles, and the fact that there are still so many exclusives out there is annoying to say the least. So how about we bring some of those on the PC and then worry about bringing more games to xbox?
