3. Xbox One Games Will Get Keyboard/Mouse Support

Yes, the long-held advantage that PC gamers have had over their console counterparts could finally be negated by the Xbox One in 2016. It's known that Microsoft has for some time been considering keyboard-and-mouse support, but back in July Phil Spencer all but confirmed it on Twitter. When asked about streaming from Windows to Xbox One, Spencer said "Yep, keyboard and mouse support for Xbox would need to be there for this to work, those aren't far away". So in this wonderful double-whammy good news-breaker of a tweet, Spencer said that the keyboard/mouse support is coming and that a key reason for this would be to improve PC-to-console streaming. Of course, not everyone will be interested in a keyboard and mouse; by nature the console gamer likes to recline back on his couch rather than hunch over their screen like the more intense PC gamer. It does, however, offer choice to Xbox One players that PS4 players just don't have. Also, keyboard/mouse support opens Microsoft's console onto another powerful feature that will give it yet another victory over the PS4.
