I think you have it about right.  Microsoft wants developers to keep using DirectX.  So a game they make for PC, will have a fairly powerful console option, and a lower priced console option.  With three to pick from to keep consumer happy.

Plus with the buy once, play anywhere, it gives you an insentive to stay within the same platform (DirectX/Windows) as a consumer.

To counter, I wonder if a console maker will try to work with Steam.

I think thats the real battle MS is about to fight. I believe if this iterative thing is to take hood than as it stands MS would be playong second fiddle to sony for a while. But whats interesting is that they dont need consoles at all if they can cormer the PC market. But to do that they have to get rid of steam tho.... or at least eat into its market

good luck to them getting rid of steam hahaha

steam, gog, origin...

on a side note I think it's good for consumers to get their games on the PC, it does make the Xbox itself pretty much useless if you have a decent PC, and that's ok. it's pretty stupid the idea that a person needs to buy 3 different consoles plus a pc if they want to play any game.
