That and Microsoft isnt the best at anything in the gaming realm outside of console online. Steam owns Xbox.

Well, 95.75% of Steam gaming happens on Windows, even with an upwards trend. Windows 10 is already on half of the Steam PCs, which enhances the probability that more and more of these Steam gamers also buy some games from the Windows marketplace (they won't leave their Steam games behind, but add the Windows store to their buying options). Some Xbox360 gamers who switched to PC instead of Xbox One might even prefer the Windows marketplace, because they keep their achievement progress and friend lists.

Enhances the probability from almost zero, to marginally above almost zero. A bit extreme I'm sure when it comes to exclusives they will. But regardless Steam makes the money in PC gaming, not Microsoft.

Assassins Creed, GTA, Battlefield, The Sims, CoD, Civilization. Microsoft doesn't see a penny from sales of these games on PC. Meanwhile Sony recieves around $7 for every $60 game sold sold on PS4 and Microsoft the same on Xbox One.

Windows 10 is far from the ideal gaming enviroment for Microsoft yet, it's a Steam monopoly.
