It doesn't make sense when you say that MS isn't making X1X be a "new gen" but that when the next xbox come then X1X will be new gen because the price point will be lower and it'll sell better.

Which company would justify a "generation" on the premises that it will start selling 3years later?

Ok, I see your confusion.   Let take the next gen part off any new console MS does in the next 3 years.  I thought it was stated within my last post how I see the next console from MS will be.  Hopfully that clears up my statement.  As for Sony, they stated they are not going away from a new gen so who knows what their next system will support.

Nope it doesn't... you say MS is doing the same message as Sony.

Sony is saying they are putting a improved version of PS4 that will do the same just a little better.

MS is implying that X1X is going to play what came before and what will come after.

There is really no point in having let's say a console that sell 100k with another doing 20k per week globally to wait and make it sell 100k 3 years later when it's less expensive to make and the new console releases. That isn't even how it works.

Consoles get cheaper because they gain scale to dilute cost, improved experience as production goes by and being the most used technology at the time. X1X is using the base of what is inside X1 already but powered up. By 2020 or 2021 when we suppose X1XX comes by the technology on X1X won't be standard anymore so they will lose a big part of cost saving due to use standard parts.

Also the common curve on console sales will probably make the X1X not ever take off.

Because face it, when PS5 comes by and perhaps it plays PS4 games, but not the other way, people will need and want to buy PS5. At the same time you'll have X1X as very inferior to PS5 and let's say X1XX on par. Who will really go and buy the 3 year old inferior HW for the current gen when there is the current one? And worse yet, X1XX will be bond to X1X.

What is really made to sell is the baseline of the system. X360 sold less arcade and elite versions than it sold of the standard edition. People doesn't really want barebone or over the top.
