I hope that really happen, but then again they will be facing STEAM on PC gaming platform. |
Exactly and thats why i think MS would do this.
Atm they are losing their gaming image on PC to steam and on the console front they are taking a bad beating by Sony.
If they keep on this path they risk losing their PC side of gaming to valve for good and losing the console War since they are trying to fight 2 sides that they dont need to.
By MS merging their Windows Platform and making Xbox indepentend from hardware and instead part of Windows this would be the perfect way to fight both battles. Since they could then keep all their exclusive games exclusive to Their Xbox store on Windows 10, And with MS fully backing and marketing their own" Steambox" Type console as much as they do with the X1, id imagine 3rd partys would be all over it since this would be their best chance of pushing a 1 platform system and we all know thats what they want.

If MS finaly return focusing on PC like you said, who is going to win on PC platform , Steam or Windows gaming platform?

It would be a though fight but id imagine if MS went full in and made the Windows gaming platform a must have service with lots of exclusive games and with an exclusive Halo+Gears+Forza+Fable+ whatever 3rd party exclusives they get plus with heavy marketing i believe they would beat out valve and take over steam.

but i think even if they are not comming back to PC, they already won , (Direct X, Windows ) most games that coming to PC require Windows or i could say Direct X, and Developer pay for the API. Not just that all component on PC require third layer OS like Windows or Linux or mac OS, and Windows is the most popular.
