he sees play on PC as a healthy thing but all the Xbox tiles on PCs have issues. 

But at least its better than the game not existing on PC at all

I meant for Microsoft in a business sense working/focusing on Hololens instead of VR is the better move.

Their new outlook on xbox actually makes me want one. I love the whole W10/XB cross-ownership thing they have going where buying it on one platform means you own it on both. It makes me want to get an xbox one x for the living room for couch lounging gaming and can switch at any time to my PC for more serious stuff, even for the same game.

I bought an XBOX One S about 3-4 months ago (For a Blu-Ray player, streaming services like Netflix and Plex, and for future 4K compatibility when I eventually upgrade my TV) and I've purchased quite a few games so far - all digital.

 

I got an XBOX Live Gold membership at CostCo, since you save a decent amount compared to just buying one. And since then, I've gotten 2 free games per month (Honestly most suck but now and then you get some good ones like Watch Dogs and Forza 5). These games are mine forever as long as I have XBL Gold (And if I cancel and resub later, I get the games back).

 

XBL Gold also gives pretty good discounts.

 

Sure, Steam Sales are still generally better (or the discount on Steam is sooner), but some games are quite well suited for couch + controller play.

 

Having cross-play ability with Windows 10 is just a bonus.

 

I plan on trading in (or privately selling) my XBOX One S for an XBOX One X after release.
