Can this be considered the same generation? Even if MS forces cross console development for future games, if the console does not have the same components, same memory scheme and more importantly, needs some kind of software emulation to play original xbox one games this is a new gen console IMO.

The Scorpio will play XBO games natively, the games are going to use the same disc. Not to mention there's no way the Scorpio would be powerful enough to software emulate an XBO game.

You're sure?

Xbox one game engine says - put this code bits in esram please. 

Scorpio says - what is esram?

No need to emulate the hole game since the CPU and GPU has backwards compatible with the old instructions but the different memory scheme is going to have a workaround, and just because this is backwards compatible doesn't mean is automatically the same generation console.
