Never said it didn't but in terms of marketplace for games software they have been obliterated by steam and remain stuck in a corner they're desperately but unsuccessfully trying to get out of. 

I dont think they have been obliterated by Steam, because I dont think they ever really tried to compete. GFW and Windows Store so far have been half assed. They were/are okay for playing some games, but MS hasnt gone at Steam at full force.

Let me put it this way, they never competed with Steam like they have Sony/Nintendo. You cant disagree with that, its a fact.

Why? MS is already in the PC market and make billions there. Dominating the PC gaming market STILL isnt a priority but clearly they want Windows Store to grow. Windows Store isnt just a games store, people forget this.

Lastly, Windows Store could potentially thrive without competing directly with Steam. Its just an app, not an expensive box.

They are trying to compete the last 2 years and they've been obliterated.  That may change but it ain't looking good.  Don't shift the goalposts and start bringing in their OS which is clearly not what I'm talking about.
