I have already said this to you before as to why MS wont succed by ofering the same thing steam offers. You just dint understand it. And I have touched on a couple of reasons as to why but Ill go over them again for you.

1) Monopoly. STeam is the biggest by far. The entire comunity is already gather there and they are happy. They have plenty of users for muliplayer so why risk a new platform.

2) These platform offer very little. Like you said before, ps store offers almost the same, so does xbox live. Steam just has been around the longest so the back catalog is huge.

2.1) Why bother if competitors offer the same?

2.2) Even if it was easyer to navigate, or faster, I know xbox pc store I hear it is not, people wont care cuz they have to leearn something new for the         same results.

3) steam got to where it was by just being the only one. Nothing they offered was amazing in any way.

Its why I said MS cannot succeed in the pc space as long as they remain how they are. They offer nothing to want people to even venture into their store and browse. Sony on the other hand has a better chance, since they offer a lot of games that are high quality and are not available anywhere else. Not saying they would outright dominate, just saying they have a better chance than MS. MS has to offer something different, games might be the best choice I would say, but there are many things they can do, I don't know those things could be, which is why I will stick to games.

I believe you missed one of my major points. I stated MS have listed many 1st party exclusives not available on Steam and good quality games mind you, like Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 just to name acouple and it still doesnt fair better than Steam.

Sony's list of games would fair about the same, they are trying with PSNow.

You still didnt anwser my question. How many 1st party games does Valve release to keep there audience interested? You say its all about 1st party exclusives which MS has in its Store yet cannot compete with a platform filled with 3rd party multiplats.

MS have put like 2 quality games on their store, hardly anything, they jyst dont have the dev power. Sony has a lot more and worldwide recognition. And I have said before multiple times yet you keep claiming I dont, but no, even then sony will still not beat steam, at least not for a long long time. I said they would fare better than MS.

I also answer this before eveen though you choose to ignore it, but I know valve dosent offer first party games anymore. I told you they dint need to as they where the only platform on pc for a long time and basicly have a monopoly with the biggest back log.

Also said it very clear many times that is not about first party games, that to compete they would just have to offer something different, quality Games available nowhere else is a good start while I told you there could be other things to offer, but I cant think of anything.
