It seems the only real difference from other gaming PC devices on the market is you will be able to play your digital console library.

But I don't see the appeal. I own hundreds of digital Xbox games but why on earth would I want to play the Xbox One / Xbox Series builds of games on a device that would be able to run the far superior PC versions at higher settings/res/fps than the console build? Considering old PC games are cheap as muck... the backwards compatible angle here just doesn't seem like that big a draw when you actually think about it.

Like... is it a really a benefit that I can play the Xbox One build of Rise of the Tomb Raider on the Xbox Magnus, when I can just grab a steam key of it for $3 and completely max the settings and run it at any fps/resolution I want?
