Awesome OP. Xbox 360 had lots of cool exclusive games. Later it had lesser exclusives but they were awesome. But many of them came to PC. They destroyed the true "exclusive" value. Plus everyone has a PC and I bet most of them are quite decent enough to play game. So the feeling of exclusive waters down.
Problem is microsoft is still in dilemma. PC (windows) is their platform and so do xbox brand. But for a (third party) xbox game they get $5/game where in PC its nil. They should have become "steam" and did their part for pc gamers without being involved in console business. They neglected pc gamers with GFWL and also neglected console games with xbox + pc version of a game.
