A bit off-topic, but I don't understand that thinking on MS's part at all.
Versions of GW on other platforms would HELP sales of GW on XBLA, not hurt.
That's why games like Zuma and AstroPop are doing well on XBLA -- so many
players are already familiar with them from the PC and know they'll be
getting a fun, familiar experience.

And Juan, great post. You beat me to the punch.
