M$ is dumb. Instead of making a more expensive console, they should make a cheaper one and then optimize the hell out of software because they are a SOFTWARE company. How stupid can they be?
See the whole point of PC has been "bragging rights"

MS software is a complement on top of that

& if you look at it, valve's emulation was faster than windows native, lol

LOL, you can only optimize software so much.
They already have DirectX and thus the requisite low level knowledge of the hardware. The next step would be designing an engine that's better than Unreal. It benefits their partners and it automatically makes development on their platform an experience that developers look forward to. They could have different branches of their engine, like a branch for RPGs, a branch for sports titles, a branch for FPS games, a branch for racing games etc. They have so many studios with competent technical people. If anyone can do it, it's them.
