Windows is a Microsoft platform, so MS have an interest in putting software exclusively onto it (as opposed to just via steam etc.)

 

If you're already paying to develop high end software, why not put it on both?

 

It wouldn't surprise me if sony ended up doing the same if it looked like the extra software sales justified it. 

 

Games aren't cheap to develop anymore.

Windows isn't a Plataform, the Hardware is a Plataform and because of that Windows 10 is in Different plataforms, Putting their games on Steam would be the same than putting their games on their "Plataform" they would just need to pay some money for Steam.

OS isn't a Plataform and if Sony or Nintendo started to use Windows on their consoles this would not means that they are "Microsoft exclusives".

when both PS4, and Xbox One are x86, yes the platform is the OS, like Android is a plattform and not Samsung, or like Windows or OSX are plattforms and not x86 computers.

Operative systems are plattforms where you sell your software. MS is and always will be a software company, and selling software is their main purpose. If they can't sell anough software on Xbox One, they're gonna sell on W10 also, and vice versa.
