Even if they forced the issue by saying they must do it or they can't publish on the XB2, many devs would just refuse. As for the NES, I doubt XBO goes much past 55M, let alone 60M. |
360/PS3 were supported until late 2015. Almost all third-party games were coming to both of these consoles. The same thing will happen with XB1/PS4. Even base consoles will be supported until 2022 it seems. Probably even later games would still be coming if the hardware of PS4/XB1 will allow to run such games. It was way harder to support Gen 7 and Gen 8 consoles simultaneously because Gen 7 consoles were completely different in terms of hardware. Gen 9 will 100% be almost identical to Gen 8 which means that cross-get support would be easier.
But yeah I agree with something around 55m LT consoles sold if the support stops shortly after the next console is released.
