Microsoft Will Focus Primarily On Xbox Live Usership, Not Console Shipments

And compete with GOG and Steam? Thats a battle they wont ever win.  Heck, i doubt they would be able to make a dent in their dales. Even origin wouldnt be effected by them.

 

If they ditch hardware, they go third party, thats how i see it. But then xbox live is dead. I really wonder what they are going to do. 

They're hoping to use LIVE as the catalyst. What's the one thing XB1 users constantly go on about? If MS can successfully ambutate LIVE from the console and move it over to the PC then lots of XB1 owners will follow -- or that's the theory in my opinion. 

very few actually will. Steam will be the superior service. Steam will be free. Steam will have cheaper prices. the only people who would follow are the hardcore fanboys. the rest would move on to PS4 and some to PC.
