| WolfpackN64 said: They can't throw away generations entirely. Eventually, developers will want to make games designed to run on newer hardware. As soon as the older Xbox One can't really handle new games anymore, the generation is over. |
The thing is, if they market the Scorpio as another iteration of the Xbox One and keep the theater going on for long enough, they will indeed look like the same machine (like with an original and Elite console model) and if the Scorpio is very powerful or upgradeable, then by the time the original XONE is phased out, the Scorpio will simply keep adding to the original's numbers. In other words, they will have merged to generations into a gigantic one, perhaps more if the upgrades are not a joke. After a while, once Sony releases the PS5, if the Scorpio has successfully kept up, by the time VGC displays "PS5" as a console on its front page, you will still see the good old Xbox One tag, probably racking up the figure of both the original XONE AND the Scorpio.
