I mean, Xbox always gets content first, I can understand they buy it to keep it away from sony longer... But PC? We were Bill Gates first son (Well... Windows was.) ._. Anyone else feel this way?

Because they get licensing fees for games you buy on their console. It's the reason console games are generally ~$10 more expensive than PC equivalents. The games cost more, and a bigger cut of that goes to Microsoft.
