A bit unfair on people who skip a generation and don't know this. What if someone converts from 360 to ps4 (of which there are many), skips the x1 but returns for the xb2. He may not realise this rule change and will lose his account.

You do realize its only the gamertag, and not the actual account. You'll be prompted to create a new gametag when you sign in. And are you telling me that signing into the Xbox website every few years takes a lot of effort?

Yeah I do realise that and I still think it's stupid. I'd be sickened if I lost my psn name.
