It is quite simple, Microsoft create the Operating System that PC gaming runs on. And Valve and Blizzard believe that for PC Gaming to continue and prosper, Microsoft need to do more to help promote and develop the platform and have been vocal in their call to arms.
Blizzard, creators of the all comsuming World Of Warcraft, have waded into the PC gaming platform debate, suggesting that Microsoft needs to put in more resources and focus more heavily to bring gamers back. This follows the Valve press conference in which it was inferred that Microsoft should be taking the lead in promoting PC gaming and informing the community, rather than the individual developers taking the lead.

The only thing that annoys me about PC gaming is trying to keep up with it. Computers are expensive, yet they become outdated in the blink of an eye (that's how quick it feels, anyway). Developers will keep making games for consoles, so the hardware doesn't go out of fashion for quite some time. But in a few years, your current computer won't be able to run any (good) games on the market as efficiently.
Honestly, if the Xbox was given a keyboard and mouse attachment via USB it would likely murder the PC.
The PC at max settings will look better than the Xbox.
You also need to pay a subscription fee to play on Xbox Live, while Valve's Steam service and Blizzard's Battle.net are free. PC Games also tend to be cheaper than current console games.
