Yes the X1X might be able to play the 9th gen games with reduced everything. But if it sells only a couple million units no one will develop 9th gen games with X1X in mind. |
X1 and PS4 will be supported years into the 9th gen. So as long as X1 gets a ports of a 9th gen games, the X1X can improve them significantly without a big effort. I mean look at Gears 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon 3, Forza 7, and Shadow of War. The extra RAM and GPU power are making these same X1 games look significantly more polished by simply boosting graphics settings and including the existing high res textures.
X1X has the potential to be an appealing product even in 2020 at $250. Just as long as its getting 9th gen content and playing them well.
Another scenario, its possible MS will allow X1X support that can exclude the OG X1 down the road. But I don't see games being developed for X1X only. Anything that works on X1X should be functional on OG X1 with scaled back graphics/resolution. I make that assumption because the CPU disparity isn't too significant and I don't think we'll be seeing X1X content under 1080p.
