Boo hoo, gamers are so mad that they get compromised experiences all the time if we take a look at past generations ... 

The point I was trying to make with the 3DS is that just like it, the PS4 Pro won't divide userbases and it could arguably do a better job of delivering that aspect than what Nintendo could possibly ever hope to achieve with the DS/DSi, 3DS/new 3DS, and especially the N64 (Remember how you couldn't play Perfect Dark's campaign or the Brood War missions from Starcraft 64 or Zelda: Majora's Mask without the expansion pak ?) when no exclusives are promised for the PS4 Pro unlike the rest of Nintendo's immediate updates has gated exclusive content ... 

Sony's idea of "generationless" is child's play compared to what Nintendo achieved with the N64 by locking out gamers from newly released AAA games ... 

The gap between a PS4 and PS4 Pro is wider than the gap between an N64 and N64 + Expansion Pak or 3DS and New 3DS. 

Just saying. Lets see how games are in 2 years, wouldn't surprise me if some PS4/XB1 versions of games are really bad. Especially as PS4 Pro is going to get pushed by the more powerful XBox Scorpio. Someting is gonna have to give or Sony fans can accept lesser versions of third party games. 

I guess they'll have to accept them til the PS5 launches a year or so after the Scorpio.  Of course, they'll still have all those true exclusives to play.

I think what M$ means when they say "generations" are over should be pretty clear at this point. There will come a time when the Xbox One will become obsolete, but all future Xboxes for the foreseeable future will continue to be able to play old XBone games.

That would be B/C, which is nothing new.  For there to be a true generationless market, systems would also have to be forward compatible, as in when the PS5 launches you can buy a PS5 game and the disc will still work in a PS4, only with downgraded visuals.  Highly doubt this will happen.  At most, they may make it where the DS4 fully functions on the PS5.
