Well the xbox brand won't really work well as a subscription because if someone wants to get the games they want they just download it on steam. Even though they put their exclusives on there most people will buy a one-month membership and go back to playing online on steam for free. Also there are PC gamers that just play F2P games so they might not be interested in the service. It would be better if they just but their games on steam or on windows store but not in direct competition with steam. Also their Xbox hardware. 

Steam is successful but i don't know how MS owning windows is an advantage. Its not like they will force people to use their service.

Actually it kinda does. If the xbox one was selling bad then software would be low so it could cause them to invest more on the PC Xbox app.

Possible.

I was mistaken. http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2013/05/22/Marketing-and-Sponsorship/Microsoft-NFL.aspx

But still MS is making a good amount from software sales on Xbox.

Killer instinct releases this year(3 years after xbox launch), dead rising, titanfall are 3rd party exclusives, i dont really know whats up with fable anymore tbh. Also about Halo 5 MS confirmed that it wasnt coming to pc http://n4g.com/news/1809371/microsoft-clarifies-halo-5-not-coming-to-pc

 That could work but it would still be hard to compete with steams huge userbase. 

MS joined the industry to make sure that Sony doesn't overtake the PC gaming market. I doubt that they would end their hardware to support their competition.

How come?

 

They also said that Quantum Break, was not releasing on PC, Phill Spencer, said this about 4-5 Months ago, so Microsoft's Word (not the program, the how reliable Microsoft is) is not good, they say one thing and do another.

I agree they did say this but I am not surprised they brought ti to PC because of all Remedy's other games were on PC. As of Halo 5 the game launched 4 months ago and we haven't heard anything about a PC version except that it's not coming.
