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.

Because there is no reason to do so. For a small indie developer it would be easier to go with a PC, and for a big company it would be insane to switch from PC, because on a PC you will have more tools than you could ever want.

This is why I asked my question in the first place. Because I wonder who will actually be using this to develop their games. Is anyone in this forum a game developer and are concidering to develop soley on the X1, then I would like to know why.

But I would like to point out that I am not saying that it's bad in any way that Microsoft offers this, it's very nice actually. If anyone had that impression of me.
