That's measuring by percentage of web access. All you've really proven is the increasing share of mobile devices and tablets.
In terms of actual game access on PC, Windows still has a dominant share.
Microsoft is eventually going to rule gaming

I can imagine them dominating if they had done what they are doing now back when 360 launched...
Now? Might be too late for them.

In 2001 it was obvious. In 2017 it's a niche feature the mass market couldn't care less about.
Microsoft should think about skating to where the puck is going instead of where it used to be.

I did say with a couch friendly OS.
Xbox owners would care. So would anyone interested in a dedicated gaming system (that does even more). That's a hell of a bonus, not to mention the PC games catalogue added to "Xbox".
Including emulators.

This post right here makes the entire thread worth reading. Excellent good sir!
As for the main topic: this is literally a compilation of the hundreds of threads saying the same thing with some variation. But I don't agree.

That feeling when there are more bait threads about Microsoft than exclusive games.

Your PC runs Linux then I guess?!
My PC isn't in the living room and MS didn't sell the box or the parts.

Why would I be bitter about something that has no chance of ever happening?
And wtf is "the PC"?
Anyway, continue with the fanfiction.
Very important... YOUR.
Your experience of a PC is not equal to everyone's experience of a PC.
Also, it seems you're just a Microsoft fanboy that wants to make one corporation richer...

Breh, you made this thread, nobody else.
Put up or shut up? Isn't that the saying? You wanted to start this fanboy crap, deal with it.

What would a Microsoft all in one device even need to do? New TVs have any app for any service you're a member of built directly into the TV. My TV remote has dedicated buttons just for Netflix and Amazon video. Why would I need anything streamed to my tablet from another device, when it's already connected to the internet by itself?

You started this turd of a thread and then you complained about how it smelled?
Making random claims on who will rule gaming ends up that way.
It's hardly random.
Based on how much the PS4 sold, it's pretty random bruh
... Xbox One 0 isn't out yet.

i'd be interested op, i've said before it would be cool if Scorpio could run full Windows and play your steam games and shit. thats the problem tho, valve would be making more money than them. i am in agreement tho that they could still pick up some scraps ( an xbox/ windows store game here, an extra controller there) the drivers would probably be a hassle to figure out for ms and jaguar cpu is so shit, maybe next gen.
like others said tho, they're seemingly more interested in making pc a console than the other way around.

Really think that'll outpace the PS4? At this point? Nah bro.
I would love if it fully integrates Steam, Origin, uPlay etc, but I worry they would be tempted to have the Xbox mode designed around windows store games, adding other games through shortcuts with less fancy extras.
I mean Windows is obviously the most used platform for PC gaming so they do have that... but the windows store is absolutely horrible to purchase games through so they need to work on their distribution or just get over it and partner with steam.
I think they've been trying to turn to Windows as a gaming platform rather than XBOX but it seems like they're doing it the wrong way. The XBOX One isn't a disaster but it's the worst way to play triple A games this generation so we'll have to see what Scorpio is officially before we can talk about Microsoft's future with certainty.

In order to rule Gaming, company would need amazing games that can't be played elsewhere along with UNPRECEDENTED 3rd party support.
That describes the PC, specifically Windows.

Not really.
Those are all stores. MS won't give up the whole system of profits. You don't seem to understand how consoles work.

good with gravy
You're ignoring... games.

Lol right back at you.
OP is pretty weird. At first I read it as that MS going to dominate ALL gaming because of integrated Windows platform. After a reread to make sure, it seems by gaming it only means console gaming. Nevertheless, PC is an open platform. Just because fucktons of games run on Windows, MS gains nothing from it. Considering the majority of PC gaming concentrated on Steam, you can't say MS rule gaming as long as they don't have their own store platform that equal to it. This thread is just don't make any sense and seemingly out of context.

Shit, am I in 2008 again
I have to warn everyone about Trump!

Microsoft doesn't own PC gaming, Valve pretty much does. Considering the state of the Windows Store, unless MS plans to literally block Steam, they have a snowball's chance in hell of recovering a lot of PC gamers' trust.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
literally what the absolute fuck are you talking about dude? Is this a joke thread?

Not sure why iOS and Android are in that chart?
They're not desktop OSes. In the end, doesn't Microsoft all but own PC gaming? I mean, almost all PC gaming is done on a Windows PC?
You're in their ecosystem kinda whether you like it or not.
