The problem that most people gloss over is that this will raise the price of the unit by a 30-40% margin.
Console prices are subsidsed by users buying games and the 30% cut the platform holder gets. Including Steam/Epic would remove this cut.
So right now, the practice is to sell the console at basically cost price and make your money on the games.
Why would MS release a box, make no profit, and make no money from game sales?
