Microsoft, I believe, still believes in buying markets. Their constant crowing about how fast the Kinect sold, for example: Sure, throw millions of dollars at titles that require Kinect, you're going to drive rapid adoption. That doesn't mean people particularly like interacting with Kinect. Microsoft was also shoving tablet PCs down everyone's throats long before the iPad... and now, in an era of iPads, they're still trying to convince you that the iPad they're selling you is better than an iPad because it's also a tablet PC. The original Surface - their multi-touch table - was a classic solution-in-search-of-a-problem, as most VR doohickies tend to be.
