You know what'd really shake things up?

Xbox Surface

All your Xbox One games, in a portable form factor with some basic PC apps (Office, Video editor).

Microsoft were considering making a portable Xbox in 2014 but it got canned.

Not happening with that CPU imo it's not helping the industry at all on physics etc. 

For many games on PC minimum CPU you can have an I3 and still run the game. So it's not impossible for MS to do the same thing. Its worked on PC for years now.

Is that a good thing? Imagine games not being held back by console cpu's or tools based on what consoles can do. Instead of having tiny play areas in From dust, you could have a Witcher 3 sized world with those kind of terrain physics. Games have become very unbalanced leaning on the gpu while doing nothing impressive with AI and physics for interactivity. A good cpu could do crackdown 3 type destruction without needing the cloud.

I certainly hope that gameplay won't be held back by old Jaguar cores when the next generation arrives.
