Anyone doubting MS's commitment to gaming, might want to read this: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_microsoft_games

Games will never be part of their core in terms of revenue but they are a software company, and games are a way to tie consumers to software, and Xbox is their main gaming brand nowadays.

What???  So somehow, Halo customers will become Office customers?  That makes ZERO sense.

Also, your cute little list mentions games like "Minecraft" and "Spelunky", which last time I checked, weren't made or published by Microsoft!  (nor are they even exclusive to Microsoft platforms!)

Yeah, I as referring to MS as a software company. Last time I checked, games are software to so.... :)

And yes, wikipedia isn´t the most reliable source, but that list gives you a hint that MS are dedicated to games, despite it not being a big part of their revenue.
