Not excatly, Microsoft get a percentage of money for every xbox 360 game sold. For PC they just get the intitial price of windows and thats it, unless you use windows 8 market or buy a microsoft tablet. Microsoft dont want people to game on pc's (unless there using windows 8 marketplace) because they dont make any money from the sale of games on pc.

Go and look at last quarter's financials. Windows >> Entertainment and Devices.
MS would rather you gamed on a PC for free than a Sony or Apple or Samsung device, because those companies threaten its complete hold on their core business.

I never said microsoft would prefer you to buy a sony/apple/samsung device. I said that they would prefer you to game on THERE console instead of pc.
