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

Isn't most all gaming doing on a  PC?  Yes, much of the money is likely made on consoles - and they are harder to cheat and copy illegally, but aren't most games made either PC or now mobil?  

The number of games coming out on a console I would think would be quite small by comparision.

Anyone have these numbers?
