We've already passed two years. This holiday would be three years. Next holiday would be four years.

Nobody is being thrown under the bus as long the original models are compabitable with all games.

Think of this way. The new machine could simply do higher resolutions, smoother frame rates, etc. Even Sony fans would be impressed if it gave significantly better visuals/performance than PS4.

So basically buying one now would be stupid, and it becomes the same as the pc waiting game. Should I wait for the next gpu cycle or upgrade now and take my chances. One of the nice things of console gaming is knowing you don't have to worry about whether it's time to upgrade again or grudgingly go into settings and choose medium or low settings.

Plus the jump from last to current gen was already pretty small for some people. Buying an upgrade every 2 to 3 years is never going to give that new console wow factor ever again. The hype, the speculations, the new possibilities, the leaks, the midnight launch, all that stuff that NVidia's next GPU launch does not deliver. It's going to be like the next Steam box reveal, meh. The future is going to be boring.

Yes. But that's why it would be important all games support the OG X1 hardware.

If they're gonna do it, maybe its best they do it holiday of 2017. When people are getting a little bored of 8th gen capabilities. That would be 4 years.
