Also Bastion and Limbo.Alan Wake's American Nightmare was released on XBLA and was later ported to PC. There have always been XBLA games brought over to the PC, this isn't anything new.Serious Sam was released on PC first to my knowledge, and Alan Wake isn't an XBLA game.Alan Wake, Geometry Wars, Braid, Darwinia, Serious Sam HD and Super Meat Boy say otherwise.Not XBLA games.
Why? My problem is that you haven't said anything to suggest that why they're competing, you've just been saying how they are.Not really, as I said, they're appealing to different crowds, I don't think they're competing at all for that reason. That's like...up, hold onJust because two companies are selling in the same field doesn't mean that they're competitors, and even if in the future they do have some new and enticing way to rival Steam, it's irrelevant, simply because this isn't then. Plus, I don't see anyone turning away from Steam to buy Minesweeper or Solitaire, and in a less jokingly, BlazBlue. People would just get both until they have some reason to rival each other, which isn't now.
There are two types of market competition: competing for new customers to the sector, and competing for existing companies in the sector.
My argument was clearly focused on the first, and your response was clearly based on the second...
If you say so. I disagree.
So they want to port games that use controller input to a gesture based system? AFAIK, Windows 8 is made for touch screens and uses gestures as its default form of interaction.

So wrong....not many PC owners have a touch screen. Please don't spread lies.
As for the topic...It is very old information. It was announced back in Apirl-ish, windows 8 would play some xbox 360 software/games. There was even 3 separate threads bringing the topic up. But I guess no one noticed, 80% of gbatemp were too busy bitching about the start menu and wrongfully thinking there was no desktop.
I guess you don't know what AFAIK means... I've been informed recently that even the keyboard and mouse driven PCs use gesture based input but that there is a normal desktop setting which allows you to use it like a normal pc. I'd like to also mention that there's a version called windows 8 rt that's designed to specifically run on ARM processor based tablets.So they want to port games that use controller input to a gesture based system?
