 Still... lets assume 2020 for xbox 2, and then it last another 8 years, before the xb3, and another 8 for xb4.
You expect someone in 2036+ to be useing a Xbox One X to play then modern day games?

Common, cut the crap.... your way overblowing this Forewards and backwards thingy.... at most its likely to be 1 gen it applies too.
By the time a Xbox 3 is out, you wont be able to play those games on a Xbox One X from today (imo), much less the Xbox 4.

You're still misunderstanding what he is saying. He is referring to Xbox Scarlett, the 9th gen Xbox that is releasing in 2020 according to rumors, as Xbox 4, because it is the 4th Xbox console (1- OG Xbox, 2- Xbox 360, 3- Xbox One, 4. Xbox Scarlett). What he is saying is that MS might rebrand Xbox One X as a budget console for next gen, something that Phil Spencer himself has hinted is a possibility, which would blur the lines between generations.

Oh in that sense I agree.
I think thats what will happend, MS will make games that are able to also be run (but cut back) on the xbox one x, while playing/looking better on the Xbox Two.

I thought he was talking about like 18 years from now, the xbox one x would still be relevant, because console gens are dead, and it ll all be forewards/backwards compat.
That was the point I was makeing, thats most likely just bullcrap from MS.

Id be hugely surprised if it extendes more than 1 generation (forewards compat), so by the time the xbox that comes after the scarlet, comes out, the xbox one x (from today) is still relevant (Which I dont think it will be by then).
