You ignore there is still a lot of new content that works well on old specs. Every month we see lots of indie content on X1 and PS4 that could work fine on PS360, inspite of those consoles being 10 years or older. But supporting those platforms isn't worthwhile because they're completely different hardware. If MS keeps making upgrades to the X1, the OG X1 could potentailly be supported for a long time just because its easy for low end games.

On paper PS4 is significantly more powerful, in practice the disparity isn't very big. Gears 4 and Forza Horizon 3 look amazing even compared to the best PS4 has to offer. While ports aren't significantly different either, sometimes they're equal and other times X1 runs a lower resolution. Developers have already said PS4 has more overhead, but its not as big as people think.

I am talking about AAA games, you say that PS4 isnt that much stronger but its 50% more powerfull than the Xbox One. The same rate like the Scorpio has to the PS4 Pro.

Forget the percentage of how much power it has on paper. LOOK AT WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES. PS4 pumps out virtually the same games as X1 with a little more polish.

As far as AAA games and future support. MS may allow games on Scorpio that OG X1 cant handle. But Sony might not allow PS4 Pro to have content not supported on OG PS4. Thats what happens if you stick to generations atleast.

and thats good why should 40 million+ users be shafted ? 



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

I don't believe a scenario where PS4 AND PS4 Pro users being "shafted" is better.

Generally support would leave the less capable specs first. Again, it would suck if PS4 Pro support gets killed because supporting OG PS4 is a problem. But it may not be an issue.
