Highly doubt it, of course cross gen games would have existed but not up to the rate which they exist now. Even though the last console generation was a long one, I disagree that it was long overdue. When a console is dire need of a successor, ounce that succesor is released it will quickly be forgotten ( Gamecube, Wii, OG Xbox, Wii U). The true seventh gen consoles have by far not been forgotten, atleast not at the rate of the consoles mentioned. |
If the consoles were released in 2016 instead, they wouldn't be that much more powerful than they are now and we will still have cross gen games like we do now. Thats just the way the industry works. The only reason we didn't have crossgen games going from the 6th gen into the 7th gen was beacause we were talking of a jump from SD to HD gaming. Now even if the consoles came out two years later, we would still have been looking at HD to beter Hd gaming.
And all those "succesors" you mentioned; thats a bad analysis. Those consoles were in need of a successor cause they were failures (with exception to the wii but thats a different matter). Look at how the PS1, PS2 sold... look at how the PS3 is still sellng even though the PS4 is breaking the sales record of every playstation platform before it.
