Arc / Gamertag linking - The future of ZEN?

Just saw this posted on the Xbox article section
Seems to me this could be how players will still buy Zen. Since your account is linked with your gamertag, buying Zen through the website will give you the funds in game, and save Microsoft the hassle of dealing with a different currency.
So, I expect the starter packs will go through xbox (and microsoft will take a cut of this), but Zen will go through the web interface.
Thoughts?

I would guess that Microsoft wants its cut of the action, so buying Zen outside of the MS Store seems wrong. I doubt dealing with currencies is harder than auditing PW's books. MS already has a store in every country where they deal with the currency, and it comes directly to them first.. not to a publisher and then to them. Easier for them is probably handling the money and giving it out instead of waiting for PW to get it and send a check monthly. That makes me think that Zen for XB1 will be solely through the MS store.
However, there are ZERO packages on the MS Store for Neverwinter. No Zen packages. No founders packages. No nothing. (Of course, there are none here on the perfectworld website either, but its really odd. they sold PC Founder's Packs for MONTHS ahead of release. here? not)
Hey PW.. you need to monetize the game right? Anticipation for the game is at the highest RIGHT NOW. It'd be a pretty good time to actually ya know.. make some money off the game. I'd throw down $20-$40 for some sort of package. When I get into the game will I? not sure.
