Welp, So Much For That Generationless Market

But don't worry, it won't happen. Just like "generationless" won't happen, because even if what people perceive as generationless happens, guess what?

 

It's just shorter generations. Because that's how technology is released.

It's already happened, the genie is already out of the bottle. 

The only way to keep the traditional console cycle would've been for Sony to stick to their guns and not release a PS4 Pro period. One PS4 for 5-6 years, no if,s ands, or buts, now that Sony caved and we know MS wants to go in that direction ... it's likely caused a domino effect that won't be stopped. 

The systems are basically just PCs in a box anyway now, the days of consoles being something exotic and different are over too, guess they might as well become PC like in their sales structure too. You can't even pop a game in without having to install some damn 1929282 GB patch. 

Being able to say "yeah but it's still a Playstation .... FOUR!" is just semantics at this point. They've destroyed the old model. The whole "forwards compatibility!" thing is straight outta the PC side too. 

I suppose every Slim model of every console ever released is also a sign of generationless?

 

Look, I get that you want MS to be right about this, but they aren't. If Sony and Nintendo have intention of releasing into new generations, but Microsoft doesn't, that doesn't mean we're generationless; it means MS is backing out.
