Deus ex came out a little under hree months before the pro and they patched the game in a relatively short period of time. Because of its sales the game has had to drop in price quicker than normal. This makes Mark Cerny absolutely correct that it only takes 1% of developers, developmental time to produce a resolution patch for the upgraded platforms. Whatever logic works for the PS4 also goes for the Xbox Scoprio. I thank Cerny for his words.

Cerny is right, it does only take 1% of development time. Again this does not prove a Scorpio update for FFXV is likely, it just means it's possible.

But regardless, there is a big difference between three months before with deus ex, and 12 months before with FFXV.

There's also a big difference that PlayStation 4 is Deus Ex's lead platform, and Xbox is anything but a lead platform for Final Fantasy.

It feels like in this thread you are treating evidence that suggests there CAN be a FFXV update to there ALMOST CERTAINLY will be.

I'm not arguing that FFXV certainly won't get patched, I'm arguing against you seemingly thinking it's a very high probability, when evidence clearly shows it's not.

I'd say less than 1% of third party titles releasing 11 calendar months or more prior to the Pro recieved an update. It doesn't matter what Cerny said, developers aren't putting in the 1% of effort for old games.

 The larger the publisher (Activision/EA/Square...etc) the higher the chances of a patch being accomplished. Square is a large publisher and Deus Ex isnt even one its primary game. That is reserved for Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy. Being an expected lead platform is what people focus on, but people also forget Microsoft got Rise of the Tomb Raider to be exclusive to their platform. Given Sony's relationship in talking Square into giving them the mainline FF franchises and stopping them from keeping Versus 13,  whats to stop them from asking for a measly Scorpio patch? Microsoft loves to throw things that made Sony relevant in their face like Metal Gear, Final Fantasy and Blue Ray. A more potent console and a higher resolution version of FF makes sense then based on their motivations.
