I dunno why you want them to put a full stop to pandering to the PC market. They've had their hand in that one for years. After having ignored it during the Xbox to 360 era, they finally see it growing bigger and bigger, that they no longer want to ignore it let alone have anyone else take it away from them (which Steam did for the most part). They came from that market, it makes sense for them to do business with it.

I don't see a world where they build games exclusively on PC and exclusively on Xbox, they just aren't in that business anymore, it's all about building games that can be played on both, for different markets to tap into. Also costs them more money to make games separately for the two markets than it does for one.

Traditionally, in order for the console market to flourish you must separate its value from the PC market. Microsofts true goal is to have one operating system which connections consoles to PC's with any form of multimedia. They dont really care about platforms and never have. They can do that by themselves. Nintendo and Sony are where the bulk of the traditional console games are coming from anyway.
