Hecka sorry for coming off wrong if i did, i just wanted to talk nerd with someone for a bit. If the integration between xbone and pc happens ill have a gamer tag when i get my laptop. Ps4 is going to have to wait till i have a decent disposable income which is nowhere in sight

Seems like Microsoft is leading the pack for cross platform gamming, that's pretty dope to be able to one day play with PC and PS 4 owners on the same game.

If we can get similar levels of accuracy sure. They way it is even the moderate level kepboard players just dominate the top tier of the consoles. They tried this model with shadowrun years ago and it failed terrible.

The control mouse and keyboard users have is insane compared to a console/controller. It isn't comparable. There's a reason most PC gamers laugh at FPS console users. The most recent funny example I can think of is Overwatch. Blizzard need to balance the game for consoles purely because of the controllers, controllers handicap console FPS so much it changes the balance/meta

I still think the handicap is over exaggerated. You mentioned accuracy, i played halo on the xbox with a kid that managed to get headshots every single time with the battle rifle, i think i managed to kill him by dropping a grenade in a tight space whenni died one time, and im not even awful at the game

i wonder sometimes if people are cheating with autoaim bots or maybe hooked up mouses to their Xbox. H@ck3rz are good at that stuff 
I remember back in the day with Halo 2, guys were flying around the level shooting their weapons at like 200% fire rate

I think Microsoft is planning to be able to allow for keyboard/ mouse support on the xbox 1. Well you can already use the keyboard just need mouse support.

Game developers do not seem to think the handicap is over exaggerated.
GTA5:online on PC automatically assigns players to different servers and leader boards based on the form of control being used.
It can be disabled, so as to allow players to cross over servers, but the game even provides explicit warning when doing so that the controller will result in reduced accuracy compared to mouse aiming.
Frequently the solution is to provide controller users with a slight auto-aim; or to change hitboxes -- for example, Overwatch has adjusted their hit boxes so that a "head shot" is actually counted as a headshot if it is an additional head-and-a-half in any direction away from the actual character's head.
Controller players can develop a high level of skill with a controller compared to other players using controllers, but a player of similar skill level playing where the only difference is a focus on mouse play will always have a concrete hardware advantage. The whole turtle vs. hare fable is an interesting and inspiring concept, but the reality is that certain types of hardware do certain things better than others.
Controller play can be really good for making youtube videos -- since it is not as quick, accurate, and responsive as a mouse it allows the videos to record in a way that is smoother and easier on the eyes of people watching. Also personally prefer the controller for racing games; GTA5 lets me swap on the fly so I can race with the controller but perform any aiming and shooting with the mouse, for the best of both worlds.

Slight thread necromancy, but if anyone is truly interested in this, apparently Microsoft is doing Gears of War 4 crossplay between Xbone and PC for this weekend. https://gearsofwar.com/en-us/forums/e9b54fc61eb74ad783d533ca502b0132/threads/coming-this-friday---crossplay-test-weekend-special-event/df2704ee-6d13-4525-87bb-09698c51b3b2/posts
Gathering data this weekend, if things pan out well they may look at making it a more permanent feature. Today through Monday, if you want to participate and give feedback.

They've had it implemented for the Horde system in Gears 4, there's a little laptop looking icon next to their name if they're playing on PC but it's solely for horde, not online. I have a feeling online players might shit all over the console players this weekend
