The 360 didn't even run windows 8. It ran a custom os. Xbox One runs the exact same Windows 10 as PC right now. That's why it wouldn't fragment with Xbox moving forward. the same way galaxy s5 and s6 both run the latest os.

The point is Titanfall on 360 was not on the same servers as Titanfall Xbox One. Largely because 360 and Xbox One are on different Xbox lives so to speak. All these issues wont exist with what Microsoft are moving forward with now.

The same way my dad still uses iPhone 4s, people will still use the 2013 Xbox one. connect to the same Xbox live as version 2 and 3 and run the same windows 10 version as well. Until a point in time when the tech inside can't keep up. Just like IPhone 3g is no longer powerful enough to run past ios version 6.

Its not that difficult to understand.

 

Of course Windows 10 will evolve, but it will now evolve with hardware. As opposed to releasing brand new Windows after a time. Exactly like where Xbox console is heading.

Literally everything you just posted, everything, does absolutely nothing to address to comments I made above. It doesn't matter what the X360 ran or the X1 ran now. The fact of the matter if both of those consoles are used to play the same game on the same match on the same server then at least in some cases they must be on the same servers. Are you trying to say that this is why they had to put in extra work in order to get the game run? That they didn't have to do anything to account for the fact the games are running at different resolutions, different frame rates, with different draw distances, different textures, and animations, different shaders, different anti-aliasing effects. Nothing was done to ensure the gameplay was fair and equal on both consoles? Nothing at all? Source please.

So your dad uses the iPhone 4s. Does he expect the latest games made for the iPhone 6s to work on his iPhone 4s? Probably not. His iPhone 4s is only 4 YEARS OLD, and it's already completely redundant for new software. Can you imagine buying a console on release and 4 years later not being able to buy the latest games coming out for Xbox consoles on it?That is completely unacceptable for console gamers. Completely unacceptable, and you're glossing over it as if it doesn't matter. If most consoles gamers cared about having the latest and greatest technology every 3-4 years they would buy a PC! This model completely screws over Xbox console gamers and you're in complete denial.

This is an assumption, we don't know this for sure because gamers have never really had a choice. 

The choice is either pay $200-$400 for a home console or like $1500+ for a PC with a significant performance bump. There's never been anything in the middle and most people don't hook up their PC to their TV, I don't know too many people when you go visit their home who have a giant freaking PC tower under their TV in the living room. 

The old model is the only choice we've been given as consumers, these companies have never offered us anything else. PC parts are sold at a massive price mark up, MS can still subsidize the price of these XBox upgrades/differing models, that alone is a huge difference, they can also keep it streamlined and TV centric so it's easy to upgrade and has a console like form factor that simply plugs and plays into any TV. 

MS is under no obligation to use the same business model that Sony does. In fact it's kind of stupid in their case since they are the lead OS for PC gaming already, keeping PC and XBox seperate was a bizarre choice from the get go.
