1). People's who have invested in an Xbox One will still be able to play new games, they will just look better on the Xbox One S.

2). Microsoft is actually listening, look how many people have posted how weak the Xbox One is compared to PC's.

I think every 3 years there is a major leap in GPU speed on PC's. It looks like Microsoft is looking to keep up with PC's with Xbox. This is could bring some PC gamers back to Xbox.

1). Sure, for a limited time. After 6-8 years people will move on and the console will be outdated and support will be dropped, just like your average 6-8 PC is outdated and doesn't support the latest PC games

2). This will always be the case with consoles unless:

  • You're ok with spending way more on consoles than you have to do now
  • Console makers are ok with losing hundreds of dollars on each units sold

Power costs money, and either the customer has to pay for it or the console maker has to be willing to take a loss on it. It doesn't matter how regularly Microsoft (and other console makers) release new console, compared to the better PCs they'll always be worse.
Also with Microsoft releasing their games on PC now there's absolute 0 reason for Xbox owners who went to PC to return. You might say Halo and GoW, but we all know it's just a matter of time before those also come to Windows 10 PCs.
