Well the power increase is practiically like a next gen console. It takes a lot of power to make the jump from 720p-1080p to 4K. Some developers will opt to use much of that power on graphics/performance instead and those titles will look a generation ahead of current consoles. Just because they keep calling it X1 doesn't mean that limites the potential upgrades on specs. But at some point high end games will have to stop supporting 1st gen specs, kinda like phones. But more simplistic stuff like indie games, classic ports, could support 1st gen X1 for many years. Atleast I would hope that's the direction MS is going with X1. Hence, its like the PC. They don't move generations, they just get better specs and OS updates. |
If it goes like that or at least something similar which it will I think that's a good thing.
And ideally the PS6.5 and X3.5 in 15 years (or whatever) will support all weaker games released on ps4, PS5 and x1 and x2 if you get my drift.
Developers can still make remasters and sell them for a premium but you should still be able to play your old games at least the ones bought digitally.
With the move to x86 this will hopefully become the standard going forward.
