Aside from software and OS sales, they never would make as much money as they do on consoles. Once you say "aside from software and OS sales" you are excluding everything but sales of console hardware. It would be like asking an ice cream shop owner how they plan on making money aside from selling ice cream. The short answer is they don't plan on making money outside of ice cream. Ice cream is their main bussiness. |
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. My point was that they already make money off selling windows and games on their PC store, so cancelling the Xbox division would literally just decrease the amount of revenue Microsoft could make. If Microsoft left the console market and published Halo exclusively on PC, I honestly have a hard time buy that they would make as much profit as they would on consoles, since it would take 160$ (Windows 10 + Halo copy) to buy it on PC, versus what we have now which is either a PC gamer stays in his home and buys it for 60$, or a console gamer goes out and spends 260-350$(or up to 460-560$ for a new console). That is not something you can make up by selling Windows keys or software, because that's just an alternative to allow you to play a game.
The rest of what you said is ok I guess. I don't know why those ideas would be exclusive to a PC though ...
