*An opportunity for Xbox One to dominate*

"if you wondered how Microsoft could make money off this here is a simple solution if we are talking about tablets with this whole portable gaming. The Xbox One control pad would be needed and in order to make it compatible with each and every tablet out
there Microsoft could make the money from the adapters in order to make it compatible."

Excellent point! But not to mention, they'd make a lot of money from this because it would act as a tie-breaker for buyers considering Xbox One or PS4.

Anyone who already owns a tablet/phone that can run SmartGlass (and could thereby stream their games remotely via the internet) would find this pretty dang appealing.

Some folks are comparing this to cloud gaming... it's definitely similar, but the main difference is this idea runs on YOUR console in YOUR home, rather than on some distant crowded server. Depending on the connection on both ends, this concept could be
much faster than cloud gaming, especially on a LAN.

Also, as some of you have argued, I fully agree that many games are best experienced in the living room setting... that's undisputed. Of course, this concept wouldn't take away from that at all... if you're not a fan of it, you don't
have to use it.

But the Xbox is constantly becoming a more and more versatile machine, look at the 360's transition; starting in 2005 as a machine that did one simple thing... you put the game in and it plays it... But it ultimately evolved into a central
entertainment machine through which you could access Netflix, browse the internet & even buy games movies etc.

The library of games available on XBL is also constantly becoming more versatile... many games on it aren't oriented for the same cinematic "living room" experience. In fact, many games such as Tell Tale's The Walking Dead are also released on
ios and tablets... so not all games on Xbox are necessarily intended for living room play. Valient Hearts would be a good example of how this feature could be used optimally. Core games like Skyrim or Sniper Elite 3 might
not necessarily be optimal for this, but to players like myself, having the option to play even these games on a remote device would
still be a selling point.

In this industry, considering the appearance of cloud gaming and features like the Vita remote play,
this concept is simply the next logical step.

If I'm away from home, it's usually because I'm busy doing something important and don't have time to play games on the go. Games, IMO, belong at home where I can relax and get away from the stress of life in general.

The machine receiving the feed to play the game doesn't need to be powerful at all. No one would be required to upgrade their PC/Laptop to play the Xbox One game as the client machine wouldn't do any of the graphics processing. All the client will get
is a video feed of the host machine. All the client machine needs to do is send back the controller instructions to the host hardware.

This is how the PS Vita plays PS4 games. Steam can also do this too now, although only via a local network connection.

Exactly! But just FYI, this post predates that news by a good couple months. When I read that news I was like "DANG! They stole my idea!" haha, But the truth is it was only a matter of time

It's a long post and for people who want to skim but still get the main idea, underlining and bold can be really helpful. But thanks for the sarcastic subtextual feedback. I especially love how relevant it is to the topic.
