Microsoft hasn't been a small company regarding gaming since ever Sony got into gaming (remember Doom, Quake, Half-Life, Civilization, etc). Those former PC gaming only companies are now focussing more and more on consoles.

Relatively Windows gaming has lost a lot of ground compared to the good gains seen with consoles.

For example, I was a PC gamer ever since the mid late 90s, but no more, although that's not a direct result of Microsoft doings (I would have made the switch anyhow due to the advancements in console technology and HDTVs).

But IMO Microsoft has really pushed the XBox 360 to the disadvantage of their Windows PC efforts the last couple of years.

 

 I dont think Windows gamming shrank. It changed. Neison still reports lots of casual PC gamers and also, Sites like Steam and D2D have over taken retail sales. Also MMO's like WoW have also gotten huge. There are still hundrecs of millions of PC's in the world
