should Xbox follow PlayStation & stop selling games on Steam ?

[Skillz]

So you want all future games to be made for cellphones with perhaps a option for tablet mode. Because tjsts what you would get. We need dedicated gaming devices to make games for so pc gaming can elevate them. There is no elevation from phone based games.

No we wouldn't.

No we wouldn't.

Clearly we disagree on how corporations think and where the money is. (And thats not a bad thing.)

Sure there is money in mobile games, but their is also money in PC games.

Someone will tap into it if consoles didn't exist.

Probably be a better thing since, as you said, porting a mobile game to PC wouldn't really make sense. Then we wouldnt get all the ****ty console ports. Instead we'd get games that are designed to utilize the hardware.

No, Xbox isn't quitting Steam — but it IS doubling down on PC gaming. Here's how.​

Xbox's PC offering has improved immeasurably over the last few years, and while it isn't indicative of a shift away from Steam, it does show how seriously Microsoft is taking PC gaming.

I think Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft should just follow Sega. Stop building consoles and just focus on the game

A bit too late for that for Sony and Nintendo - too much resources pushed into development of new systems.
Microsoft tho has all the things needed to make it happen. Though, doing is the whole other thing. They might keep their console 'just in case' things go south.

the problem for Microsoft is if they go the Sega way then they have to pay 30% commission to all the game platforms

at that point I don't see why they need to remain in the games business for such poor margins
