Yes, I don't want it. I want to buy a machine that I'm sure that will run tons of games for many years.

Microsoft will end up forcing us to keep upgrading.

You sound like someone who's literally never seen a smartphone before, because that is literally the opposite of how iterative hardware works.

For example: Iphone 6 broke many iPhone 5 games, including Capcom's and Square's. And it's the same architecture and same OS. This is iterative hardware. Devs strugle to keep their games and apps running on smartphones, unless they want to keep it updated for all smartphone versions which doesn't happen. I don't want this for consoles.
