Finally, we will build the best instantiation of this vision through our Windows device platform and our devices, which will serve to delight our customers, increase distribution of our services, drive gross margin, enable fundamentally new product categories, and generate opportunity for the Windows ecosystem more broadly. We will pursue our gaming ambition as part of this broader vision for Windows and increase its appeal to consumers. We will bring together Xbox Live and our first-party gaming efforts across PC, console, mobile and new categories like HoloLens into one integrated play.

It doesn't sound like they're going to change much of what they're doing, regarding xbox

Basically confirms my feelings about the Xbox earlier. The Xbox is shifting from a console brand to a service brand.

Hasn't Xbox been shifting toward PC since the beginning? During the seventh gen they sort of became more of their own entity, but that obviously didn't last long.

No, just give millions of people with decent pcs a reason to skip buying one.

I've actually always just skipped out on Xbox's for this reason. I've considered Nintendo and Sony systems for exclusives, PC for everything else. I ended up getting a 360 eventually, but still, most of it can be found on PC.

And what have they changed to make this suddenly true? They haven't confirmed that any more first party games are going to windows.

That could mean a whole number of things. I don't want to jump to conclusions without knowing what it specifically means will change.

Changed the title to just be the quote. Sounds more like just his vision, not specific plans.
