Yes, I have to agree with you there. I think it was the competition with Sony and basically getting buried that made Microsoft want a reset. If they could have got by with the Xbox One for 10 years there is no reason to think that they wouldn't. For the reasons you stated I think it is safe to say that Scorpio is a 9th gen consoles. |
I would say it isn't safe to call Scorpio anything until we actually know more about it. Right now it is either a whole new console iteration that happens to support 100% BC, or it is exactly like the PS Neo which is not a new gen at all just a more powerful PS4, or it is something completely different. All we know is it has great specs and launches next year.
If I had to bet on it, I would say it is more PS4 Neo than it is 9th gen xbox.
Either way though, none of that negates the fact that MS could support the XB1 for 10 years, just like they supported the 360 for that long despite launching the XB1 before the 360 turned 10. Just like Sony supported the PS3 for now almost 10 years while also having launched the PS4 before 10 years. Just like Sony supported the PS2... you see where this is going.
