I was talking about MS studio games in general for more money. They won't be some anywhere. But the Windows store. And on top of it, it's their product. So it's more money. Plus, they're trying the same thing you want them to do on the console. Get more people to get Windows 10. That is one major goal. That's is the sale they want. Even if it scrafices some Xbox sales. They get do get money from somewhere.

Just like Nintendo does with their "freebees" from Club Nintendo. You still had to buy $200 worth of games. To just buy Game and Watch Ball. And they probably only paid very little to make those. But got $200+ for it. Same with Amazon Prime. You save money on shipping. But do you really? If you don't buy something almost every day. You're just paying a monthly fee, for air. So that cash, is basically getting amazon free shipping money. When you only buy 4 things, in a month.

They are givving Windows 10 for free, if they wanted to get Money, they would not limit it only to Windows 10, and would not give the OS, for Free, what they want is Market Share, now that Apple, and Linux, are growing more and more, and now we have Valve's OS, they just want Market Share, isn't for the Money.

Windows 10 isn't free for new buyers. Only exsisting owners of 7/8, to a certain purchased time range. So they get PC sales too. Torjan Horse marketing. Free OS, to people who lost faith with Windows 8. We now have a potentional W10 store buyer. For apps and games. Goal is improved money. And fixing their OS image.

And Microsoft, have a Lot of money to burn with games  they don't need to release for PC, how much Revenue do you think that they will get ?, from what they will lose with Xbox One (they lose much more when something is purchased on PC, and not on Xbox), i don't think that will be Hundreds of Millions of US$, they spent 2.5 Billions on Minecraft, this money would be enough for Microsoft, to make all their games in the next 2-3 Generations, they Cancelled Fable, without even give a chance to it.

This is all suposition. Unless people have number proof, on how much MS makes per system and game. To PC game and OS sales. If the console was better. Then they wouldn't be doing this, to begin with. If the X1 was the #1 console. I bet they wouldn't be. But because it's not. They now have to branch out in other areas.
