Consoles are always defined by the games they have. That's what determines how well they sell and how long they remain relevant, all the rest is in the "nice to have" category. So if Microsoft wants to last the longest it needs to beat Sony in the games department.

I'm not saying they can't or won't but outlasting or outselling will not come from Window 10 integration or any other side feature. It has to come from games.

I agree 100% that games are the most relevent feature of a gaming console.

The reason I bring up Windows 10 integration is that M$ has developed an OS that will all apps/GAMES developed for it to work on all devices without need to recode for each kind of device.  THe development time for the app/game will be dramatically reduced if they can make it once for 100's of millions of devices with only one iteration.

So, there will not be 100's of games, but 10's of thousands of games!  Sure, they won't all be AAA, but as we have all seen, the small indie games are getting better and better.

Games won't be the problem, the problem will be how to find time to actually play them!

So what is the selling point to Xbox One then? Because right now I would figure that this benefits Tablets and Phones more than it does a set top box that obviously can't fit in your pocket. We as gamers already have access to thousands of games through our phones, but we buy into consoles to play games that give off a console experience, not because we want to play Flappy Bird on a 60'' inch screen.
