What is the point of Streaming Xbox games to PC?

Can someone tell me why people are excited by this?

I'm not trolling, I just don't seem to get the point of streaming my Xbox games to a PC to play. Seems to defeat the object of having the Xbox doesn't it?

MS has already demoed game streaming but have since stated that “It’s really cool and really problematic".

I only have one TV and i share it with my sister. Streaming is my salvation...

 

@Dr Neo, doesn't really answer my question.

Effectively you could lock your Xbox One in a cupboard and never have to touch it again. But if you only stream Xbox games to your PC, why bother having an Xbox in the first place? Just buy native PC games?

 

Sorry Dr Neo that reply was to someone else.

In your case why not just buy a another monitor/screen?

 

Easy answer. If it interests you then use it. If not, don't worry about it.

I use it so I can play my Xbox on one monitor while I can use the internet on my other monitor. For others it's being able to go to their computer to play Xbox when their spouse/parents/siblings come home and want to watch TV where your Xbox is. You

You also get the added ability to use a Xbox 360 controller to play Xbox One games, which I do.

There's all types of benefits to it. But if you can't think of one that favors you then don't worry about it.
