Microsoft has a really big advantage over Steam: They own the Windows OS. Steam failed to establish their linux-based OS, and most of Steam users have to use Windows one way or another. And there are more Windows users in the world than Steam users, so right off the bat they have a bigger potential userbase. |
This is not how this works, Windows's user base is not like a Console's user base, this means that Not everyone will play games, and Means that the Users are not locked to Microsoft, Windows's Users have freedom, and the Windows's install base, means more install base for both Microsoft, and for Steam, and Steam, still have Linux, and Mac os's Install base, and Microsoft, dont get 1 cent from what is sold on Steam.
Because of that PC Gaming, is unclear, 125Millions of Steam Users, still not profitable as a 125 Millions Console's Install base, so is much different.
