Well, the flow of what it meant to be a "Generation" is gone. Everyone is off doing their own thing, of varying power levels, and varying time slots, as for back then every console came out at the same time, or within the same window, and ended around the same time. The traditional generation is dead. Switch and One X threw a wrench in it. We can't even agree that Switch is Gen 9 because everyone has their own idea of who kick-starts a generation. 

Xbox One X really isn't in a strange position because it seems like a diversion. Microsoft knew it was a premium product for premium users, at a premium price point. But it's leagues stronger than the PS4 and the Pro...technically of course. I just really want to see the route they're going to take and hope it isn't awkward. To not be in another PS3 situation, they have to have a deal with AMD, and hopefully they do, to drive down costs on their end. And again, what gets me worried is their statements on the Switch. Are they looking to retaliate? A handheld and a home console from then would not be satisfactory at this point, can't cram a dedicated GPU card in a handheld device, at least one powerful enough.

You sre either

 

  1. Setting yourself up for disappointment
  2. Don't really know what you're talking about
  3. Have a very limited understanding of how the tech that goes into consoles work
  4. are buying too much into the PR misdirection MS has been spinning all gen to save face.
Or any combination of the above four.

 

Nope, I just think you're delusional and you think anything that doesn't praise sony is wrong. I What did I say above that you think is "Wrong", Generations are in essence, still subjective, so nothing I can do there. And I suppose you know so much about hardware, so please elaborate my guy, I'll be here. Teach me something you think I don't know, lol. Couldn't care less about Microsoft Hardware, but what they say rings true. They're not just a game company, their history is engrained in their own software philosophy. 

Been studying technology that goes into consoles for some time, since the Magnavox actually. And it doesn't take a genius to look these things up, get off. You have a history of Microsoft and Xbox bashing, and I don't engage in that. At least not since 2013.
