| Turkish said: Many a people will eat salt once Microsoft brings out games that won't be supported on their 2013 hardware. The Xbonex already brings Xbone games to 4k so what novelty would Xbox 4 add to that.
What the hell are you talking about? No one is reducing product lifecycles, PS4 Slim makes up 80% of total PS4 sales, and only 40% of Pro users(20% of total sales) are upgrading from their PS4s. So if you can do 1+1 no way in hell is this about selling more stuff to the same people. Lmao at "an alarming sign of the console market decline", 7 million PS4s sold in the first 5 months of this year deserves praise, I dunno whether you live on our timeline or just a very pessimistic person.
Yes, this industry should produce 100 million dollar AAA games on 12 month cycles because WOW a new cpu came out with some extra megahertz! Generations just mean a cut off point to leave the shackles of ancient hardware behind. The concept of generations never died, not even on mobiles, you have games and apps that are not supported on older hardware. |
Generations also created a place where the shackles of hardware dig in to the flesh of game design and visuals, where developers are forced to leave out parts of their games because it would not work on ten year old hardware.
If they want to keep doing generations, keep them to a max of 3 - 4 years.
