@apujanata, Just look at Microsoft's recent activities. They are paying less attention to the PC market than ever. For good reason though, because they can make more money off of pushing the Xbox 360 where they control hardware, accessories, licensing, and more.
@apujanata, I don't know why they completely closed Ensemble Studios, but they obviously have plans for the leftovers of Ensemble - use some of the upper level people to create a new developer with a different focus and then distribute the lower level people around Microsoft for various other projects.
