Well the consoles are for the console only gamers, which there are a lot of. I'm sure if every console gamer also had a gaming PC, microsoft wouldnt release a console. Then again if every console gamer also had a gaming PC, Sony probably wouldnt release a console, as they make evry little money on actual console hardware sales, and they may even be losing money with next gen consoles.Well we will see if the Windows Store actually get anywhere.
Further, the more Xbox acts like a Third Party, the less profitable it is to actually make and sell consoles. There is a threshold of hardware sales where if you drop below that point, it no longer makes sense to design the next console. Console hardware dsles is barely making money as it is, if you make it an even smaller part of XBOX's revinue then why even have it?
Well, we will see where the imaginary pool of PC gamers buying from the Windows Store will happen next gen or not.
I think only Nintendo would still relese consoles in that hypothetical situation.
