| Fei-Hung said: I'm personally looming forward to this. I think we need to get used to this as this will be the new console cycle moving forward considering none of the big 3 are in it to make big losses at launch knowing their machines will get outdated anyway within a few years. We will lose less on trade as the machines will be newer and they will be still have the same library. We also know games will either be upscaled for one or downscaled for the other. I don't think all games will take advantage of it and it isn't mandatory either. I think it is mostly big first and second party games that will show the difference. |
This only applies because 3 year upgrades currently aren't a thing. If this does become the norm, game outlets won't want to be bothered carrying a ton of used base models and their trade in value is going to plummet, or you will simply get stores not taking old consoles. This is going to be terrible for the industry if 3 year upgrades become the norm.
