Microsoft PC Focus: Good or Bad Decision?

I remember reading an article a little while ago about Microsoft making efforts to create a higher focus on PC as well as their two currently supported consoles. What do you think about this decision, from a hypothetical and fiscal standpoint? It's a trade-off; while releasing a game like Halo to PC would bring in what would amount to be literal tons of money, it would also decrease the incentive to buy their own console. I personally think Microsoft should branch out certain franchises to PC. While it may decrease hardware sales, the margin of people that both own a high end PC and plan to buy a next-gen console are slim enough that the software profit would offset any and all other investments. Not to mention that making it only playable on Windows would increase general sales of all Microsoft products.

  • Phil has stated that Microsoft's focus will be in refocusing on PC gaming, and the Xbox brand. But that they're making an effort to reinforce/reintroduce their presence into the PC side of things is a very welcome decision. :)
