.....Why is that a benefit? It completely ruins the point of buying a console in the first place. Who buys a console to turn it into a PC? Last I checked, PC's did a pretty good job of being a PC.
And I'm not even sure what "better game support" means. There are very few actual exclusives going towards either the Xbox 1 or the PS4. And even those exclusive will likely see their way to the other console and PC's later down the line.
Well firstly the Xbox has always had better game support meaning, more developers and secondly directx will mean it will probably be better supported given its X86.
And on that topic, smartass, its never been an issue before since this is the first consoles running X86. So yeah, putting windows on it to run a whole lot of extra applications will mean (because its windows based OS at least half the time) a better supported integration. Essentially these consoles are just PCs with dumbed down OSs.
But why the Xbox will win this one? One word: DirectX. Unlike previous incarnations, these consoles wont be coding to the metal. So the familiar DirectX over some modified OpenGL will mean that more games and more support. Also, running Windows as a separate interchangeable partition will be a bonus.
Also, who thinks it will only be a matter of time until the PC will run console games natively?
