What reason would you choose to develop on a PC instead of a X1?

PC is easier to develop for, decades worth of tools and information that is available to assist in such an endevour.

Plus you can get some good amounts of free advertising from the likes of Humble Bundle and Steam Greenlight.
Not that it matters, porting between the two platforms isn't something that would take months to achieve anyway.

Why not Both?

DirectX is on the Xbox One and the PC.  You could develop for the Xbox One, then lower down the game for the PC as most people will not have a compairble system on PC for yet a few more years.  (according to Steam's numbers.)

Then flip it when Windows 9 comes out - which is probably still a ways away.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!
