Microsoft: We Think The Future Is Without Console Generations

Both the Neo, and the Scorpio are bad ideas. I think with Sony, the Neo is a one time deal. With Microsoft it sounds like they are going to start releasing an upgraded Xbox every other year. 

They are good ideas in my opinion. Less tech stagnation, consoles more likely able to keep pace with PC gaming.

I would rather not have a repeat of the extended last generation where I felt like poking my eyes out with a hot fire poking iron near the end, the games looked bad.

Up until the PS2, every new console generation was a quantum leap in graphics. Going from the PS1/N64 to the PS2/NGC was like going from modern graphics, to full blown photo-realism. Imagine a new console releases, and they put the game on the T.V. screen and people walk by and they think you are watching a movie, because it looks exactly the same as real life down to every little detail. Modern graphics improvements are small, incremental, and pathetic by comparison. 

Saying that console graphics have to keep up with PC gaming is just as dumb as saying that the SNES needed to keep up with the 3D0, Jagaur, etc.
