I haven’t used Windows in a while now so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong but it always felt like PCs were a bit of an afterthought for Microsoft. I know it changed somehow but have no idea how much so my random guess would be: it’s simply be a case of “lets market these with our main gaming product: consoles”.
Not really, far as I can tell. At least not for Microsoft the company and Microsoft the gaming team.
Only for the marketing, really. They never explicitly push it. But I feel this might just be because they feel they don’t have to, they’re already the default, and “PC” is their native environment everyone associates them with.
Maybe so. Also, I reread the article and there are more mentions of PC than I initially thought. I just kind of glanced over them between all the talk about Xbox, a term that’s also used in regards to Windows gaming (something I forgot when I posted this).
