I don't get MS's plan, announcing this early, Scrap NEO? PS5 in 2018?

Neo and Scorpio are both abominations in the console scene. For me, anyway. Hope they all fail miserably.

Unless optimization gets really bad for original specs, it doesent really matter.

If they are going for a smartphone-like model, optimization is the least of our problems. Market fragmentation will cause games to be hold back for more years by the lowest speced machines, say goodbye to action games with more characters on screen, more immersive open world, better I.A. etc. All we're going to get is higher res and more fps.
