not to mention the fact that if the lower quality version of the game sells worse then it will result in even less effort being put into porting games for the X1, thus reducing game quality which reduces userbase which reduces the amount of sales a game can get which causes it to sell EVEN worse

Thus resulting in a vicious cycle of lack of effort eating profits and lack of profits eroding effort.

I don't think disparity in performance has much of an impact on sales. At least not directly. Most people only have one console so they only have one choice. Since they only have one choice, the differences don't matter to them and they will buy the game regardless.

It just matters for the educated consumer ready to choose his next console. If there aren't any particular features or games he is interested in he will pick the better performing console. Of course it also helps customers who didn't actually care about it validate their purchase to other people thus spreading the word.

If it's strong enough to penetrate news outlets in regular intervals it might have a lasting effect on sales. for the consoles.

Though I don't think the difference in install bases will ever grow so large that developers stop caring about the weaker platform altogether.

Its a worse case scenario, It would probably take longer then a generation. Disparity does affect word of mouth which will affect which console gets more popular, and popularity is a system seller.
