Xbox One Getting Windows 10 Universal Apps - Report

@suicidesn0wman: lol... you actually look at downdetector?????? Do you even know how it works? Where their "data" comes from and how they allegedly calculate and then represent this soncalled data?

But, if you really want to use them as your foundation for argument... in the last 55 days both networks were allegedly having issues for 50 of them (both magically are missing the sane days...)

Lets show the real difference.... since 1 January 2016 down detector has this:

77,846 incidents of issues with xbox live

13,287 incidents of issues with psn.

Get that.. in the same time from, and while havi g nearly 9 times more users than xbl, and almost twice as many different platform types to deliver to, xbl had 6 times as many issues????

Neither of which accounts for claims during scheduled maintenance, which there were much of (guess who does scheduled maintenance more often????)...

Anyways... even using the poorly contrived and absurdly represented data from your own source, xbl has no less than 6 times as many issues as psn.......

Don't ask for a link again... that was your own source, unless you want to ignore that also... you might have better getting more solid evidence from the aether.....

@Barighm: Not 'just' another Windows 10 device, Microsoft simply decided that it's not enough to simply seek being the 'center of your living room' they are seeking to make Xbox (now synonymous with Windows10) the electronic 'Center' of our work/entertainment lives... 'Xbox Everywhere' if you will.

The thought goes like this... When you, the gamer, aren't conveniently playing Xbox games on the One you can play also them 'on the go', on your PC, Tablet or Mobile Windows 10 devices (streamed or even played directly) when you're away from the primary console itself.

Windows & Xbox... Two juggernauts once attempting to ride each others' coattail's, now fully empower one another as two sides of the same 'two-headed' coin.

Windows 10 is Xbox and Xbox One is Windows 10 in your Living Room, being the same hardware it was intended to be, with renewed power through the now greater list of things it has to offer, which includes its newfound mobility!

Their hope is to have users ever engaged with their products, just as much as when you look at the person next to you wherever you go, always with their heads buried in their electronics... i.e phone or tablet. For the newly engaged consumer... Becoming an Xbox user is to become a Windows 10 user, and to become a Windows 10 user is to become an Xbox user. This is where all this is headed... If they succeed.

@Smosh150: creating additional ui features and alternatives for sers simply means more time, thus more cost, as well it crosses an issue for many games of controller vs kb/m in a competative gamerype (kb takes less skill, thus dominates a controller user in games like an fps and mmo, while controller would win for vehicular controls. It would devide their audience.
