Maybe it might give MS a right heavy kick up the arse to completely sort out their storefront and get more PC only games going. 

Steam has a bigger library going than the MS store, so let's not kid ourselves into giving MS more pats across the back, for what little they do for PC gaming. Steam by far still has more features and built in modding for PC games, MS store does not.

Also Activision only has two games on B.net, which are both online and have a defined limited lifespan, L4D 1-2/Tf2/HL/Portal do not.

Also CoD went for more than full price on B.net, so no "competitive" pricing there at all, same for the MS store and Uplay/Origin. The only one actually being decently competitive is GoG.

Also"matching"?, yeah, when's that going to actually happen for once?. 

Not seeing the bigger picture again are you. Steam only offers 3rd party games with an exception of afew. Something there competitors will be offering as well.

Sure Steam has more games, its also filled with some of the worst shovelware and offers a bunch of VR games that are useless to the majority. Steams quality control is up the creek and that needs to be addressed.

Windows store isnt perfect but it works well enough. While next gen Win10 will be offering games like Halo Infinite, Gears and 14 studios making games with W10/Live in mind, Steam will be offering.. umm the same 3rd party games like every other store front. 

Valve needs a kick up the ass because they need to offer there own games where as Xbox has there own games plus many more via GamePass and there many 1st party studios.

PSNow and Live are only getting bigger and this is something i am suprised you don't see.
