I can't afford 2 consoles so next generation I'll buy the one with more games, regardless or them being 1st or 3rd party. If MS keeps publishing on PS on higher rate than Sony on Xbox, I'll buy a PlayStation
That's what most people will be doing and having Steam on Xbox consoles won't do anything to change that. The Xbox brand is already pretty much gone from retail over here and will become a ball and chain to what MS wants to do with their gaming business.
MS wants everything to be an Xbox, but that's not what people associate with the brand.
What they want quite simply won't work and the poor reaction to their recent marketing proves it. MS/Xbox needs to make it clear, either be a console platform with some stuff on the side, or a third party publisher under a different name. They can't be both over the long term.
For me, the way forward after this gen (that I haven't even bought yet), is PC.
