I agree with you that that is their long term goal. But having a goal and being able to accomplish said goal are still two different things.
In gaming, reputation matters. Nintendo, PS and Steam are all far ahead of Microsoft in that regard. Nothing in Microsoft's current and foreseeable approach attempts to fix this. The path Microsoft is on is one of getting integrated as a third party publisher on the platforms of Nintendo, PS and Steam. The main reason for that is that we've now gone a full decade already of Microsoft not understanding why exclusive content matters.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
