I'm just saying how I read that, that's all.
Edit
It looks as if PGR ain't going to happen, well that's makes the XB1 crap then. lol. I don't like Forza (too easy), so I might have to wait till Gran Turismo 7 comes out for the PS4 before I decide. Gutted.

Thanks for the reply
That wouldn't really be equivalent to what Bogof said, though.
For your example to truly be equivalent, the following would be required in addition to you saying that you got an Xbox One for Halo and PGR:
- PGR would have to be available *now*, for Xbox One *and* PC.
- You would have had to have previously told us all, before you bought the Xbox One, that you thought that PGR was "crap".
And to top it off, it would also need for you to have told us that you only buy consoles for exclusives because of having a £3300 PC, yet to also have told us a list of games you had for the Xbox One that were not exclusive, games you even "double-dipped" on for Xbox One *and* PS4 and could also have got for your £3300 PC (a PC on which they would blatantly perform better).
Or, as you say you don't like Forza, a better example would be to say you bought an Xbox One for Halo (not out) and Forza (don't like).
The main issue with the "Halo & Titanfall" claim was not that Halo is not out yet, but that the only other game he said he specifically got it for (before it became an "impulse buy" for the reason of "because") was Titanfall:
1) A game that is also available on PC and is therefore not exclusive.
2) A game that would therefore have been a far better purchase for his £3300 PC instead of buying the technically inferior version for the technically inferior platform, an especially strange decision given the importance he places on graphical performance.
3) A game that he previously said, before he bought the Xbox One, is "crap" (amongst other things...).
"Halo & [a true exclusive currently out that he does not dislike]" would have made sense for Bogof to have said, IMO. One current exclusive, one future exclusive. Just like e.g. getting a PS4 now for inFamous (current) and Uncharted (future) would make far more sense than getting one now just for Uncharted (future) or just for Uncharted and TLOU (both future), or getting one now for Uncharted (future) plus [something disliked].
