Beneath that shiny exterior, the Xbox One (http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/20/microsoft-xbox-one-review/) is, basically, a glorified gaming PC in a slightly smaller frame. As such, wouldn't it be great if you could play RTS games on the machine with your keyboard and mouse? The hardware can already support the former, and if Microsoft's Phil Spencer (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/10/phil-spencer-major-nelson-interview/) is to be believed, the latter is coming in the near future. The executive was asked on Twitter if it'd be possible to stream games (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/17/xbox-windows-10-game-streaming/) from a Windows machine to the Xbox -- in the opposite direction to how the company has set up its game streaming system (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/30/windows-10-xbox-one-streaming/). In response, he said that it'd require keyboard and mouse support for it to work, crucially adding "those aren't far away."
