Stadia is that, you only need a platform with access to Youtube and compatible with a Stadia controller (or, as commented, a Windows or Android compatible controller). It can be an old smarphone or the best of PCs, as well as any SmartTV that can play Youtube videos on streaming.
If there is an xCloud app for your PlayStation 5, you will be able to play those 3.500 Xbox Games on your PlayStation 5. If the app is available on PS4, the same. If the app for xCloud is launched on Mac OS, too. Maybe, that app is named Mixer. Like the Stadia app is called Youtube.
Apreciate your point of view but... Xbox One games don't sale. Focus for Microsoft is now Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Outside US, third party games sold ratio of PS4 and Switch games is 7 to 1 against Xbox One. Return is now service and suscription based, not game units sold with royalties and exclusive gains like with Xbox 360. Your maths... maybe don't work for Xbox today. Three game sales give the same benefit as a one year suscription, maybe.
Er... you also have to uncompress data and process it before game and assets are playable. Only really fast buses and processors can do that and they are too expensive for a console. This is nice for marketing, but, what do engineers think about it? Magic really exist? I hope so.
Maybe one day an emulator for PC gets something like the real game on Xbox One: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
And shorter load times... no disc change... This is the way for BC.
One of the good things from Xbox One architecture was that everything is virtualized.
One of the bad things of Xbox One is that everything was virtualized.
Good, because you can have different OS running over the kernel and games also are like another OS running over the OS. So, if you put a virtualized Xbox One, Dreamcast, Amstrad CPC or Xbox 360... it can run.
Bad, because Xbox One was underpowered for doing some tasks like running virtualized ...
Thanks Rockstar for leting Microsoft make it backcompat with X improvements.
You can buy it directly on Xbox Store or Microsoft Store... on console, PC, mobile... Your election.
It is not about Battlefield 1 Revolution, it is clickbait with Battlefield 1 info.
Well... it is worst Dead Rising ever, so... 1 million is a lot for so much crap.
Drivers... it only needs gaming drivers and games will come.
Come to Spain, PS4 Pro was sold at 339€ two weeks ago in "free VAT" campaigns from main chain shops and it continues at this price (official price is 399 with Uncharted 4 or Horizon Zero Dawn).
I have to add price of Xbox LIVE Gold to play online and games are 30% more expensive on Xbox One than Windows so... I don't see the saving vs a 1000$ PC. It is cheaper than a more expensive PC, but... of course, that hardware is not comparable with an Xbox One X, it is better for playing, media streaming, office, etc. Xbox One X seems to be ~100$ overpriced now, in July 2017. I don't know how much overpriced will it be in november 7th, with ryzen 3, Vega and new GEFORCE hardware to c...

12TFLOPS for 399$ in 2019... coming.
That remembers us what was the Microsoft position about cross platform gaming... four years ago (No crossplatform for Xbox, because Microsoft had other plans):

So, if it was reasonable for Microsoft then... we can't argue now if Sony adopts the same position.
"The policy has not changed on Microsoft's ...
Because that's what I can buy today (June 20th 2017, 5 months before Xbox One X releases and with a summer to play games before the new console arrives) for 510€: An RX 480 8GB is 199€ here and an i3@3700 MHz 99€, with the rest of the system (Fast 2x4GB DDR4 59€, mATX MB 49€, 1TB HD 45€ and PSU + box 29,95€ + Windows 10 OEM29,95€). An RX 580 8GB is 259€ now, so it is not up to the final ~500€ objetive here.
Why not compare with an i3 PC with Radeon RX480?
Conqueror's Blade is really good.
