I think Microsoft depends on what market you are looking at. As far as creating a "Microsoft" ecosystem they are doing pretty bad and seem to be trying to force it to happen for their benefit instead of it being a thing that actually gives the user something in return, like you tend to get in Apple's ecosystem. However, if you look at Gaming Microsoft has actually done a pretty good job with this. With their "play anywhere" initiative to buy a game once and it works on Xbox and PC (ignoring that publisher support of it has been hit or miss but thats a different story). Game saves, friend list, etc all being synced between PC and Xbox.

I should have put that my understanding was old. I'm happy to see things have come even farther along than I would have expected. But I honestly don't get why this didn't happen early 2000s. The specific thing that always baffled me was how the PSPs couldn't interact with the Playstation at the time. Heck, after the first PSP, I don't know why the next Playstation couldn't take those disks in to let you play on your TV. Why build up a completely separate ecosystem? I see they are moving away from that now, with the PS5 being able to do PS4 games. That is good to see.
