I hope that’s not going to happen for longer than maybe for the first year or so. I know all that “we’re done with generations” talk but...The next gen CPUs will be on a whole different level and X1X won’t be able to match that nor will the PS4 Pro. I really hope that doesn’t happen since it would slow down progress way too much. Sony has already committed for keeping generations. I really hope MS doesn’t slow down development of things like physics and A.I. that way. |
Well, we saw a jump of 8 times in TFs from PS3 to PS4. So If we expect a similar jump from X1 to X2 then that means the X2 is gonna be barely twice as powerful as an X1X.
So the gap between the XoneX and the X2 should be A LOT smaller than the gap we have today between Xone and X1X.
Besides, when MS and Sony announced they were moving to the X86 arquitecture, I remember many developers applauding the move because that way they wouldn't have to start from scratch with every generation.
So yes, I totally believe that when 9th gen comes for MS, the X1X is gonna be their cheapest option to play the same games. Just like Xone is their cheapest option now.
