Because the PC market rejected pay online services (for anything other than MMOs) over ten years ago as the stupid, ridiculous idea it is. Leave it to Microsoft to find a market willing to be stupid enough to pay that stuff anyway...
As I said, there's a reason Windows Live isn't exactly Xbox Live, and it's because PC gamers aren't falling for that stuff, and for good reason.
But 360 owners... $100 wi-fi adapter, hard drives that cost 5-10 times more than any other hard drive of a similar size, fees to play online... they pay that stuff, for some reason.
