Originally Silverlight was purely a web play.

With Windows Phone 7 they used it as a UI layer for just about 1 year, but Windows Phone 8 stopped using silverlight in favor of WinRT(~2011/12).

Xbox never supported silverlight as a development platform in any of its iterations.

You may be confusing the WinRT/UAP/UWP fiasco with silverlight.

In some sense they are all sides of the same fiasco, like Google's Allo and Duo.
