did you actually read the thread? are you aware of the direction MS has already taken.

This isnt about propriety add ons.

Did you actually read my post?

Think about the number of X360 owners who own a tablet? 20% Maybe? Lets err on the side of caution and assume it's 99%. Are devs going to make games that 99% of people can play, or 100%?

If MS allow any W8 tablet to work with the X1, MS will be able to have remote play, but they won't actually be able to do anything interesting or unique with the tablet controllers, because developers will not make games that benefit from remote play, because it would alienate the users that don't have a tablet.

As for mistershine's point that you "only" need a 75 quid tablet to use this feature, that is a huge fraction of the cost of a console.

To me it is like remote play - it's an option but the chances are higher you have an android-, wp- or ios-device than a vita which does nothing interesting or unique, too.

And think about how many ps3-users or ps4-users will have a vita...

You're acting under the assumption that I think Vita remote play will be significant.

Think about how many Wii U owners have a Wii U tablet controller.

Why would you want to play a console with a tablet?

It comes with a controller for a reason. Touch controls don't work as well as a standard controller!
