Microsoft and Sony are turning consoles into highly optimized Home Computers. Scorpio and Neo are going to usher in a new era in tech.

Due to the greatly expanded feature set which will be near what people are used to on PC, the more premium pricing will be quite well accepted.

In addition to Scorpio and Neo, both companies are going to continue to offer lower end models for those that don't need all the bells and whistles.

Basically PlayStation and Xbox are finally leaving the world of being kids toys, and entering the world of personal computers and home electronics. We will have multiple versions that offer a range of prices and features, just like we have with TV's, Recievers, Phones, and everything else in the world of electronics.

You think that there will be no generations anymore ? I don't buy that Idea. What is the advantage to say "I have a 102910293031039103 of userbase" while they aren't active as the actual console gamers.

I don't know about Microsoft, since it seems that even they don't know what to do, but Sony said that there will have a PS5. If the 2 try to get rid of Generations, so Nintendo or any other company would continue to make generations and be much more successful.

Under these circumstances, it will work. Think of the Scorpio as a very expensive PC, then next gen rolls around and the Scorpio can still keep up with it, next gen rolls and it still doesn't do as much as flinch. That's the sort of thinking. Then when the engine shows it's wearing out, you create the same variant with modular upgrades. In fact, odds are the Scorpio will have special "processor bays", "GPU bays" and "memory bays". 

Doom and gloom not needed. 

If what they mentioned earlier holds for the more powerful Scorpio, you'll use one this generation and again the next one since it will either keep up anyways and if it can't, then it won't have any problems with you stuffing more memory into it.
