If they do, it'll be exactly as big as any other expensive peripheral that doesn't come bundled with the hardware.

Not enough people have it, so no devs make games that requier it/are built around it, so no-one has any reason to buy it.

Happened with, GBA link cable, PSP connectivity and a lot of others. And a tablet is a lot more expensive than most of the existing options that failed.


did you actually read the thread? are you aware of the direction MS has already taken.

This isnt about propriety add ons.

Did you actually read my post?

 

Think about the number of X360 owners who own a tablet? 20% Maybe? Lets err on the side of caution and assume it's 99%. Are devs going to make games that 99% of people can play, or 100%?

 

If MS allow any W8 tablet to work with the X1, MS will be able to have remote play, but they won't actually be able to do anything interesting or unique with the tablet controllers, because developers will not make games that benefit from remote play, because it would alienate the users that don't have a tablet.

 

As for mistershine's point that you "only" need a 75 quid tablet to use this feature, that is a huge fraction of the cost of a console.
