Uggh, my favorite thing about consoles was the assurance that my purchase practically guaranteed six or seven years where devs would try to push the console as hard as they could. This sounds more like the Ipad or Iphone practice, where apps continue to work on your older models, but aren't optimized particularly well. I don't want to continually upgrade my hardware in order for my games to run well.

100% agreed. one of the great things about a console is you just buy it, for a relativily cheap price, and use it for the next 5-6 years, and are sure that devs will support it, and will push it to its limits. 

if they are basically making an XB1 a PC, id just get a PC. 

Microsoft can still subsidize the price of the XBox (meaning sell it for cost or even less if they feel like it) ... therefor it would cost you a lot more to get a PC with the same performance.
