What makes you think that the 8th gen will last 15 years..let alone 20

Im thinking more for retro purposes.

People still play SNES. People still play old school PC games. People still play PSone games. Etc.

When Microsoft eventually drop the Xbox One servers, which they will, is the Xbox One just going to literally be a TV box?

DRM is software. If they "drop" the servers, they can easily remove DRM. But that won't happen in my opinion...We;ve reached digital distribution, X86 architecture... More powerful versions may be made for gamers down the road, but as a platform, I see this being it for a long time. Much like iOS is here to stay and Android as well. If Google turns off the play store, all your android purchases are done too once your phone/tablet is replaced... But why would they do that?

Remember when microsoft said that you may not have to buy another console ever again? May be ture...
