You are being short sighted. Like I said, hardware is currently an important way to gain a userbase to sell games and services to, and indeed receive third party royalties. But that doesn't mean it will remain like that for ever. Music, movies have both seen tremendous change in the past few years. Gaming will change too.

Haven't said it won't change, and no need to name calling.

Still their PC store is beaten by Steam anytime of the day. So there is little reason for 3rd parties to pay royalties for MS to sell on PCs.

When did I resort to name calling?

Just because Steam has more marketshare than the Windows Store doesn't mean that MS can't gain marketshare. And they don't have to be the market leader. The Steve Balmer "All or nothing" era of Microsoft is over. They make loads of money from Bing even though they are far behind Google. I'm sure they'll be okay with a profitable gaming business even if they aren't the market leader.
