MS doesn't really have much incentive to keep their games off Windows. They own it and can make more money pushing software on it.

As I've pointed out many times before, numerous titles that move the most consoles are also on PC or multiplat.

LOL I fail to see the current incentive outside of trying to go up against steam. There is no way they are going to pose a threat to them anyway. We all know Microsoft wants cross platform, but thats nothing new any longer. Sony will already be deep in it once Street Fighter 5 drops.

Perhaps there is money to be made without going directly against Steam. The content in their market place is very different than what Steam offers. If they wanted to compete with Steam, they would add a ton of PC games on Steam to the Windows Store.

The Windows Store is apps, music, movies, casual games and its now getting some AAA games. Steam is just the place to go for hardcore PC gaming. Windows Store and Steam are very different.

MS is bridging the gap between Xbox and WIndows. Crossplay is part of that. I think MS likes that Sony is doing crossplat with PC because its Windows.
