With Windows Mixed Reality and Xbox Play Anywhere, do you really need a console?

My laptop just became my go-to Xbox?

October is usually one of the busiest months of the year for me. I'm only home a couple of days out of the month, and I don't get to spend nearly enough of that time relaxing with an Xbox controller in my hand. Things are different this time around though, because Cuphead is an Xbox Play Anywhere app. That means I can play a full Xbox One game on my Razer Blade while flying across the country, and I did. In fact, I've played this particular game exclusively on my laptop and it has been awesome.

So, remind me, why do I need an Xbox again?

Microsoft where you are, the best plan ever

I don't plan to strut around spouting nonsense about the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race anytime soon, because I know better. Don't tell anyone this, but the thing that makes the Xbox special is not the hardware. Xbox Live is the most successful online social and gaming platform to date, and it continues to grow for a good reason. Microsoft works hard to keep the system fresh with new features and it's ridiculously stable when compared to the competing service on the PlayStation.
