Traditional console cycle:
Pro: Provides a clean break from old hardware allowing devs to focus on 1 hardware spec, games get the most out of the hardware.
Neg: Resets the user base to zero, games may not carry over to next gen.

Thoughts?

Consoles stay x86, and with a AMD APU going forwards.

Playstation 5 plays older PS4 games, and XB2 plays older XB1 games.

 

Traditional Console cycles continue.
