I actually like the idea. The age of "new console" wait more than half a decade for a new jump feels so outdated.
Somehow this is for consoles only. Look at PCs, Look at Smartphones, Look at Tablets... There are innovations all the time.

There should be more frequent console releases, maybe even from different manufacturers. Let Samsung build a kickass Xbox that plays all the games, runs Win10, gets to the Windows store and has xbox live on it. Let LG, HTC or HP come up with new Xbox systems. And of course Microsoft itself. Just like surface and other tablets.

Innovation would be pushed sooo much and I see gamers really benefit from it.

Exactly, I was saying something similar.

A beefed up X1 is fine with me as long as software is compatiable with both old and new models. In the same way as PC can work fine on older specs or iPhone games between a generation.

 

Some other pro arguments:

- Developers would have a HUGE audience to sell their games to (PC and various consoles combined).
- No more ports sold as remasters.
- HUGE library of games, probably the biggest you will ever find
- 100% indy friendly
- Marketing costs will not be 100% with Microsoft to promote the hardware.
- The possibility to play the games at absolute ultra maximum settings.
