I don't really think ms cares much about the OG xb1 owners. I think it makes more sense to them to clear the slate and start over as soon as possible.

I don't think Microsoft has abandoned the Xbox 360 yet, let alone is about to abandon the Xbox One.  While Microsoft is no longer making first-party 360 games, or manufacturing the system, they nonetheless are still supporting apps and releasing updates.  Xbox Live is still fully supported on the 360, third-parties are still authorized to release new Xbox 360 content through Microsoft's distribution channels, and Microsoft continues to actively work on 360 backwards compatibility for the Xbox One.

So it seems a bit alarmist to suggest that because they release a version that is 7% more powerful, a difference that they publically downplay as being even a selling feature, that they'd prefer to throw away 20 million enthusiasts and start from scratch.
