Well, you won that debate.

I feel if consoles are gonna stick to current architecture, just keep upgrading. It sounds like new gen is an excuse not support the old hardware.

that doesnt stop PC software from not supporting older hardware, at some point you have to make the cut. I even doubt you gonna see Xbox One and Xbox Scorpio support at the same time for long, the performance difference is way too much 

I understand in 5 years maybe developers will want to cut support of the OG X1 and PS4 for AAA. But those OG consoles can still handle a lot of lower spec stuff. For example, many games low end games on X1 and PS4 would work fine on 7th gen consoles but its a lot of work to bring those games to very different hardware.

The route MS is going makes me think OG X1 support may be cut off, but Scorpio and the X1 will still be able to share games.

While the potential life of PS4 Pro might be cut short because its held back by OG PS4.
