I really don't understand why you think "luck" has anything to do with anything, lol. 

Either the technology exists or it doesn't, Polaris is the new gen technology for 2016, that's almost certainly what MS will use, why you would correlate to luck is mind boggling.

Polaris is not "high end" either, it's a budget GPU. 

Also too many posters on VGChartz think the PS4 is something special, like it's still cutting edge. It's not. Some of you guys think PS4 is this:

When in reality by 2017 it's actually this (in tech cycles):

 

A Polaris 10 is not some miracle technology, lol, it's a budget 2016 GPU, that being in a 2017 home console is nothing shocking.

It's like you think software will magically work on whatever hardware you want it to. You're looking at hardware and prices with such a degree of tunnel vision that you don't understand that it doesn't work like that. There's a reason you can't just rip a PS4 OS and run it on a PC.

That doesn't have anything to do with anything. MS is going to use a Polaris 10 most likely because it makes sense. 

It's actually basically the 2016 equivalent of what the 7850-7870 that the XBox One/PS4 used and it's what Sony would be using as well if they were launching in fall 2017. 

What software makers want to do with that technology is up to them. 

Again too the 7850-7870 are fucking old (what's in the PS4-XB1). I don't think AMD even makes that GPU for PC purposes any longer. That's how freaking old they are, thinking the PS4 is the standard for anything is like the guy who thinks an iPhone 4S is still pretty much the standard phone ... Uhhhhh .... no.
