Out of all the PC gamers that play on their TV I wonder how many actually are married or live with their girlfriend and play on their living room TVs not a second screen in a men cave... I have a shit ton of PC gamers friends and the only one doing it are single and amongst the married or in couple one even the one with gamer chicks don't have their rig hooked to the living room TV they have a computer room with each their rigs...their console on the other hand are 90% of the time hooked to the main TV... So he has a point this is by far the norm... Pretty sure he can afford better rigs and set up than all of us but also setups that are not even on the market and at the prototype stage... So stop braging about PC master race like he doesn't wtf he is talking about... If anything MS and MS R&D joined with other actors of the gaming market are the gods of that race...

That's very true though. Most people I know that game on their PCs are not gaming on the living room they mostly have a room or they just work on their work desk. People on these forum act like every PC gamers will put a computer in their living room even if they have families and so on. It's rare that PCs in families are for long gaming sessions. It's mostly a tool for the whole family or for work of one member or more. 

Anecedotal evidence is useless when we're talking about capabilty which his statement (Spencer) doesn't seem to get. Doesn't matter how many friends you have or PC gamers you know.

Fact is it is in most cases trivially easy to connect a PC to a TV and use it for gaming now a days. PC's have been supporting controllers for fuck ever, wireless keyboard and mouse even those that are designed to be used for TV. 

The amount of PC gamers who game in the living room is irrelevant.

 

Just because Phil Spencer said some BS about uniquness doesn't mean he's even remotely right, probably why he prefaced it with "I think", since factually its wrong.

Nobody, who simply cares about the games, on PC is going to give a shit or not whether the game they bought came from the X1. This whole transfered X1 games garbage is absurd because the second its on PC its a god damn multiplat and its not an X1 game anymore on the PC. 

 

Just cause MS owns Windows doesn't mean they can stumble around and decided a decade too late to try and blur* the lines for more profit. No, no. Unfortunately for them PC became a free platform when they were off fucking with MP3 players and Mobile OSes, well tbh a lot earlier than that, and nobody gives a ratass that the Prince Spencer and the Xbox team have come "home" when you've already got Steam and Gog and Origin and Uplay and w.e the fuck else.
