I think it's awesome. The last thing I want to see is a game i'm interested in also on previous consoles after I bought a new console.

I don't see why it matters if games are cross gen.

If you own a X1 or PS4 console, you have access to a version that's superior than 7th gen. That justifies your console purchase.


If it can fit on 7th gen then it technically isn't made for 8th gen now is it?

Nope, that logic is flawed. Just a few examples off the top of my head.

Witcher 2 was designed for the PC, but got a good port on the 360.

The Crysis series manged to raise the bar on PC graphics while still getting 7th gen ports.

Battlefield 3 and 4 are some of the best looking PC games, yet they got decent 7th gen ports.

Call of Duty games were designed for the 7th gen consoles, but Wii received solid ports.

 

A 7th gen port exisiting doesn't mean your 8th gen product has to be inferior.

Killzone:SF, Knack, Infamous:SS, Ryse and Forza 5 could have been PS360 games. They just wouldn't look or perform as well.


But the fact that it's made for previous gen means that the devs didn't fully use the power of the new consoles.

They even said the Witcher 3 is 35 times larger than the Witcher 2. There is no way that game would work on previous gen.
