I don't see it being much different from what we currently have. Scorpio will be backwards compatible, Xbox Ones games will run on it but some will feature *Scorpio mode* where they exhibit higher settings, which take advantage of the system (Similar to Xbox One games running better on X1s or 3DS games running better on N3DS). When a game is made that won't be able to run on Xbox One and is built for Scorpio and high spec systems,they will not be marketed as Xbox One games. 

Then in that case, generations won't be a thing of the past like MS would have you believe.

Semantics. When the Xbox One support drops there will likely be 2 Xbox Systems on the market. An Entry point (Scorpio-$299) & then a premium device (Xbox2). If generations are determined by what you see on cases then sure, cases will always need to market what platforms the games support. Until Microsoft have dozens of different consoles out all at one time, generations will of course exist, but they will not be confined to individual platforms like we see with PS1/PS2/ PS3-Xbox/Xbox 360/Xbox One.
