Why do people act as if everyone has decent PC? Its 2013, the masses use laptops not desktops, laptops which are not on par with X1.

Better yet, plenty of people just enjoy playing on consoles. PS4, Wii U, X1 and PC are all completely different platforms regardless of how you try to spin it.

 

I, like many, assume that if you are willing to invest money on a new console to play the new games, you can also do that investment to buy a PC that can play games. Otherwise you wouldn't even consider gaming on a PC.

Is everybody willing to invest on PC rather than consoles? No, but that doesn't rule out the fact that you can do it if you want.

I was responding to the way the OP posed the question.

"So the fact that lots of third party Xbox One games are available on PC, that lots of Xbox/Xbox 360 games like Fable or Halo were available on PC and now that there is the cross-interface between Windows 8 gamecenter and PC... Isn't the Xbox One useless for games ?"

He's dismissinf the Xbox One because it has plenty of similarities to PC,  deeming it useless for games because many of them can be found on windows. Unless you already have a gaming PC, than the X1 cannot be considered usless as it is offering something you don't currently have. You can have an arguement about which one is actually a better investment between xbox and PC but that is seperate from the OP's remarks.
