Anyhow, a mouse and keyboard would make using things the web browser more appealing. Maybe some games will even use it like Halo Wars 2.

but fortunally your aint a mod. and it my opinion and i'm allow to speak up live with it.

But why do you need to speak it at all then? We've heard this so many times now, I've lost count. I'm not saying you can't have an opinion, but its obvious that kind of conversation will start a flame war...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

At that point rather go with my PC.

There are legitmate reasons to get a PC over XB1 or any other console.

The XB1 getting an additional controller option is actually a reason in favor of it, not against it.

 

The distinction is important. Don't obfuscate legitmate reasons by just spamming "who needs xbox, i got a PC" everywhere, opinion or not.

People agree with me, maybe mods will consider warning people, and we'll see what happens.

I don't want to stop you from speaking, I just want to see less of that in every Xbox discussion.

Would be incredible for FPSs. Although, it's odd considering how most people don't sit at a desk to play games on their console. That's living room-type territory. Definitely would be weird trying to use a keyboard and mouse on a couch. So good thing for everyone who has a set-up that well-enough allows for it.

"So it has pretty much all the same games as PC?"
"Right."
"And you can play with either KB/M or gamepad?
"Right, like on PC."
"And it's made by you guys, like Windows is?"
"Right."
"Can it play games as good as PC?"
"Sure, but only if we're taking low-end builds into account."
"Any features it can do that PC can't?"
"Right now it's mostly just Halo and Kinect, but we don't support it anymore."
"Which one?"
"Yes."
"Do I need XB1 to play Fable?"
"Nope."
"Quantum Break?"
"Nuh-uh."
"Titanfall?"
"Nah."
"But it still has exclusives like Forza, Gears, and Scalebound, right?"
"Well..."
"What about Phantom Dust, that's still a thing, right?"
"Definitely."
"How is development going for it at Darkside?"
"Who?"

I'm not an Xbox fan. But dangit, I hope you guys catch a break soon on not becoming a Steambox. KB/M by itself isn't bad, but compiled with everything else, it seems like MS just wants to turn XB1 into a Windows 10 PC.

I agree. We've heard enough of it. If people need to resort to that, it should be considered trolling, and as such should face punishment from the mods.

Do the mods ban people for going into Console threads and pushing PC? That would be a good precedent to enforce this.

How about we not do that. That phrase can be used with any of the big three and pc interchangeably. If they ban people for using it in a xbox thread then it would have to be used in all of them to be fair. It would lead to alot of stupid bans.
